Life and an update September 13, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Weblogs, Life...otherwise, Home wreckers , 1 comment so farFirst, I have dropped the password for now. I am checking my stats and deciding if I am happy with this or not. At the moment, I am leaning towards staying at typepad. I have until October 8 to decide.
Life, oh my. Life.
I have taken down the wallpaper from 1 3/4 walls from our bedroom. I want to finish these two walls (ie, clean, prime and paint) before I continue with the other two since I can’t move all of the furniture away from the walls. This is one of the things I hate doing. I LOVE painting. I HATE stripping wallpaper. However, it costs almost $500 a ROOM to get wall paper removed by a pro. Screw that. I am planning to take next week off and finishing the project so we can actually get this done before the holiday (Rosh Hananah is Sept 23). I doubt I’ll get it done, but I have to try. I can’t wait to get this damn paper off. When we first moved in, we saw how the paper had faded around their picture frames. But it was a strange yellowish fade. Then I realized this was the Northeast wall which NEVER saw sunlight and I figured out it wasn’t sun fade, but SMOKE stains. Ick ick ick. The floor has multiple cigarette burns too, but we are getting the floor refinished in May, so that should go away then…
My bosses are willing to give me the time off, BUT I may still have to work. You see, there is this asshole idiot moronGuy in the White House who thinks we need a manned mission to Mars. Ok-ay… Well, this has cause NASA to redirect their budgets. Which means we are running short staffed on our contract with NASA. We have 4 people on our team. We should have 6. I may need to log in and come in if needed next week because we are so short handed. Thanks Pres Bush! Love ya DoubleYa!
I just got a tax bill for Annabelle, my car. The town valuated my car $3,000 more than I paid for her. So now I need to get the bill of sale, call and get it revalued… Mass does a funny thing of an excise tax on your car. So, I pay $25.00 per $1,000 of value. This means they are asking for $75 more than I should be paying. Grrrr.
I have several posts rolling in my head, but little time. Today is a meeting day. I have three meetings and some new software to write. Anyone written a module in Perl before? I think I need to write one soon and my training is in C,and C++….
Sigh…
