Journal Entry
Well, crap. I'll start off with the remainder of the entry that I did yesterday and didn't post... I went to sleep instead.
Here it is...
11/24/98 19:03...
Got the tooth, had the interview... and I feel really good about it. There were only four people there instead of five, which disappointed me, the fifth person was a lady who I really like, although we've had difficulties in the past.
The interview was really for both positions, with the bulk of it being taken up with the supervisor position. There was only one computer guy on the panel, and I think that I impressed him with what I know... but then, I don't really know what he knows, either.
Karen was supposed to go out for lunch with Kim when she got off work, but we went with Buddy Bob and his girlfriend instead. Mexican food, and I'm still farting. I just love those refried beans...
After we got home, it was really had to generate any enthusiasm about working. For one thing, my hands are almost incapable of gripping anything. For another, my brain is not hardly functioning.
Sometimes I really worry about me... I'll get these manic spells and just utterly wear myself out, then I'm done for a few days. I wish that I wouldn't do that, life would be a lot easier...
And now for today...
Got up at 08:00; made coffee, drank same. Karen and I had a 09:00 appointment, so we went to that, and the lady that was supposed to meet us wasn't there, so we decided to go to breakfast.
We went to Perkins, Karen ordered an omelet and I ordered a short stack. We got our coffee almost immediately, but waited 20 minutes for the meal... and the pancakes were flat as... no, they were flatter than, pancakes. There was obviously some ingredient left out. So I complained and they took them away apologetically. I was rather upset and decided not to order anything else.
The waitress told us not to worry about the bill, and brought us a sack with four muffins to take home. The lady said that she had told them the pancakes were wrong but they didn't listen to her... we left her a nice tip.
Then we came home and started working, and I've been working ever since. Got all of the plumbing done, and with only ten more trips to the hardware store... got the new dishwasher installed (did I forget to mention that we had to get a new dishwasher? The old one... well, that's another story.)
After the plumbing was done, Karen and Tyler and I hung the overhead cabinets, and then I went down to work on the wiring (yes, a-fucking-gain!) and solved some other problems.
About that time JD arrived, fresh from Texas. It is awfully good to see him, and really unfortunate that I'll be working all of the time that he's here... he has to leave on Monday.
After the excitement died down, we got the kitchen the rest of the way cleaned up and moved the refrigerator in... so now it's a complete kitchen.
Except that the lights don't work, and the dishwasher doesn't work and the garbage disposal doesn't work... all minor problems, except for the garbage disposal, which I just haven't gotten the electricity run to yet... run outta time.
Time... dammit, I really wanted to take a nap today before I went to work... no time for sleep. So I'll have been up for 24 hours and that is a wee bit too much, but I'll be OK.
And tomorrow, Karen will get to cook in the new kitchen.
