In which you can hardly tell it’s the weekend. Today is the first day of our third week in Indy. I feel both as if I just arrived, and as if I’ve been here forEVer. BoSe and Bread had a nine o’clock this morning. I tried to get the bid done last night, but it’s […]
In which I woke up on the wrong side of the bed entirely. I woke up totally fucking aggro this morning. Then my computer was acting like a slow piece of shit while I was trying to produce some printed bids. Then the guys were freaked out about this thing and that thing (this gig […]
In which it’s weird. Being this close to the time line means that the sun is still (just barely) above the horizon at nine PM. It causes us to eat dinner really, really late. And we tend to stay up until eleven or twelve every night. I bet it’s awesome to be a kid here […]
In which it takes money to make money, and I’m loving not living in the country. We’ve been here for eleven days now. We’ve got a gas grill set up, and bought speakers for the laptop so we could enjoy tunes in our room. (The built-in speakers were like listening to iTunes through a telephone […]
In which it was just awful! After a day of popping ibuprofen, sleeping, and listening to my iPod, I got the guys to take me out to dinner. We went to ‘downtown’ Greenwood and chose a Mexican restaurant. It looked good from the outside, with white stucco and a big gaudy neon sign, but all […]
In which there are two things. Maybe three. I haven’t updated in two days because I couldn’t get online. The hotel’s free wireless has been down. And not just kinda down, either, but totally not even showing up in the Wireless Network Connection panel at all. The manager says they’re re-replacing all the parts again […]
In which I’m startin’ to miss good ol’ CAT-5. The wireless here at home sweet hotel has been sketchy. Er, maybe not ‘sketchy’ so much as ‘completely down’ for the past day and a half. It’s back up now. FINALLY. I have to go sketch two roofs in Xactimate now, and then finish the door […]
In which I’ve been busy, but not too busy to blog — except I couldn’t ’cause the wireless is crap. Our home sweet hotel seems to have a limited number of AP’s, so I haven’t been able to get on the Internet since I rebooted Saturday night after installing a Delorme mapping program. This makes […]
In which we blow this popsicle stand. We’re leaving this afternoon. Gonna drive six hours, then check in at a Red Roof Inn. Tomorrow could consist of hanging out doing nothing, or it could be a crash course in Xactimate. Dunno yet. Depends on Dee’s (the team leader’s) schedule. Yesterday we heard it was all […]
In which I fuss for awhile, but then there’s a recipe at the end so it might just be worth your time. We’re leaving on Thursday. I slept in this morning because there was no reason not to, and because I sleep a lot when I’m stressed out — it’s my preferred coping mechanism, and […]
