Today was better, in one way, anyhoo. It wasn't quite so busy. And yeah, it was worse in another way... I was in the room, on my feet most of the day. And the boss of the guy who did the loan that we backed out of called me at work, really unhappy. I wasn't able to talk, of course, and I asked her to call me at home tonight. Well, she didn't, but the loan guy did. And at this point, I just told him that it wasn't right in a number of ways and I told him the ways... he was still very unhappy. And I can understand that, he stood to make a bunch of money for very little work. And I kinda resent that when I'm making very little money for a lot of work. Anyway, enough about that. Went to the hardware store to get what I thought that I needed to fix the stool. Note: what I *thought* that I needed. This is yer basic plumbing, right? Piece o' cake, heh. My last three plumbing adventures have gone quite well, y'know? That streak is at an end. And tomorrow I'm gonna buy every piece of plumbing that goes in that damned stool, with the exception of what I bought today. In the meantime, there is a bucket with which we can pour about three gallons of water down the damned thing, thereby flushing it. Well, it's not really a bucket, it's a wastebasket, I haven't had a bucket around here for years. What would I do with a bucket, eh? At any rate, I would have gone back to the hardware store tonight, but no, I'm too damned tard and my legs hurt, I just want to sit. Well, no, I want to sit for a little while, then I want to go to sleep. I didn't sleep well last night, and had a helluva time getting out of bed this morning. Tomorrow I'm back on the console again, and then yet again on Friday. O'yeah, I finally heard back from VOXAR... they're gonna be figgering out what to do with this territory in the next few weeks. The lady thanked me for my resume and signed it "best regards" and I'm not really sure how to read that... but I'm still really interested. Aside from that... well, nothing. In the Mail: On the shelf:
