In which I party with the girls. After my last post, hubby and I went out for a drink. Well, several drinks. I sat with a couple of women and talked and drank, and Bread went off with an old friend for awhile to go look at something somewhere — some boy thing. When he […]
In which I continue to feel utterly overwhelmed. If you’re a regular here at the ‘box, you know I tend to keep y’all updated on the state of my uterus (because I’m nothing if not totally dedicated to delivering you riveting content). Well, right now it’s doing its thing: trying to make me wish I […]
In which I feel rather taciturn about good news, given the run of things lately. The bad news is that [a] I’m not eligible for unemployment benefits until the last day of the month and [b] my benefits, when they start coming in mid-August, will be a whopping $164 per week. I suppose I can […]
In which what I’d expected — then not expected — happens. I just got laid off. I may be asked back… in a few months, at the earliest. Sadly, I’ve remembered that during my base year for unemployment (five quarters ago), I was working part-time. So I may not even be eligible for unemployment in […]
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 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 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 we heard a tornado siren and everything. Bread and BoSe were out this afternoon canvassing but came back to the hotel when water was sheeting over their rig and the hail was marble-sized. We watched the weather on cable until it cleared up, then I went back out with them to finish canvassing […]
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 […]
