Outside, the temp is 34 (F). Our expected high here in Central PA is 51(F), but I'm wagering we're going to top off a few degrees above that, possibly 55 (F) or more. That's been the case, even when it's predicted to be cold, we're a few degrees above the low high temperature... or should that the the high low temperature? Golly gee whiz, that's almost a song!
Yesterday work was really boring. Oh, my gosh! I did cut rolled carpet and vinyl sheeting for customers. I talked to a few non-customers, the ones who haven't yet decided to climb up onto that fence of indecision. One of my fellow specialists dealt with a woman who wanted a "ballpark" estimate on what it would cost for blinds. We get this frequently, people who are sticking the teeny, tiny little toe into the water and come to us completely unprepared. You know there are going to be problems when the customer says it's "your standard window." There is no such thing as a standard window, there are always variations which is why shims are used during installation. This customer did that "standard window" comment one better. When asked for the dimensions she said, "oh, I don't know, but I took a picture." Oh, my gosh! A picture might be worth a thousand words, but it does not provide dimensions.
My new pack and suitcase arrived yesterday. The suitcase is a bit larger than I had been expecting, but it will be fine. I'll be able to pack a lot of underwear, shirts, and shorts. Here's a pic of the pack.
I saw Hair Furor gloating about the reduction saying he wanted to have more money available to spend on his campaign.
ReplyDeleteI snorted, knowing that he won't be spending his money when MAGAts will go shoeless and hungry to give him their cash.
He will never spend a penny, that's what his cult of suckers are for.
DeleteI almost threw a fit when I saw they reduced the bond. I'll do that next time I get fined by a bank or something. I'll tell them I don't have the money to see if they reduce the fine...
ReplyDeleteAnd that is just so he can appeal, right?
Uncle Joe is not doing too bad. People need to understand that he's not 'the less bad' candidate, but the most qualified candidate. Ugh.
XOXO
I will admit that surprised me, but then, we should all know better.
DeleteThanks for the dedication to Lily, that was so nice of you. It did bring a tear to my eye.
When it comes to the dump....the words of Patsy Stone come to mind..."Oh, just kick the bucket already!!!" And that putting it nicely.
ReplyDeleteEven hard work's been quiet this week, unusually quiet. I won't complain. The last few weeks I've been insanely busy at work.
I don't think he'll kick off anytime soon, though I'm fairly certain his suffering will be long and painful.
DeleteI'd be the old lady who wanted "a ballpark figure" too, but I'd never be the one taking a picture of a window. I have measured my windows myself, knowing that they'd still have to come out themselves though!
ReplyDeleteWe can do a "ballpark estimate" as long as the customer has some measurements, it's when they say they have a "standard window," or the show us a picture, and we get a lot of that, where there's a problem.
