Long day fighting with repairs. Why does stuff always break itself, and never fix itself? This doesn't HAVE to be a one way street, right?

Long day, so time to shut it down. Raining nicely out there now, makes for better sleeping.

Goodnight to all.

I just finished posting a bunch of stuff on personality vampires aka narcissists and now I’m thinking of a posting on women being heavier as protection but since I’m traveling tomorrow and need to be up and away early tomorrow , I’d better save that.

I understand that!

Dropped off in a snap but somewhere around 0330-4 wide awake…did the same toss and fluff routine. No avail so threw in the towel. Was supposed to go home today but company had other plans. Still getting home, just much later…

Hope everyone made it through “the Monday” and now settling in for the week. Will leave a little PNW MZ.

Happy Tuesday. Still have a check to write, an envelope to stuff and drop in the mail, and a resentment not to get. It's called Business, I reckon. There was Uber-Complaint greeting us coming to work yesterday. It seems that the damned plumbers made a mess in a woman's apartment - again - not like this is the first time, either - and she wrote a fucking dissertation complete with a ream of pictures. And she used her thesaurus, too. It made it all the way up the property management chain before 10 AM, so by the time it made it back down the our side chain, Wat had a firm grip on who was where, when they were there, and who was guilty, and of how unsurprised Wat was by the suspects. My boss has decreed the death penalty for the next batch of culprits.


Who says management was/is fun???

Who gets to be on the firing squad???

The non toxic stuff smelled like oranges. The good stuff smelled like Nirvana.

Smells Like Teen Spirit?

My neighbor uses a torch thing. It's attached to a propane bottle. He fries the weeds with it. I'm thinking of getting something like that. I don't want to use RoundUp or other kinds of weed killer.

I LOVE flamethrowers!

I have a couple of original radios for the '57. I believe they are push button, but I have yet to open them up. I hear they are tubes, and use a vibrator to generate the voltage.

Now you've got me thinking I should pull one apart.

Oh! THAT kind of vibrator!

 

[questquilya]

Oh! THAT kind of vibrator!

Context is everything.

[Lilianna23]

Just had a facial

This was a good thing, right?

Oh. Not THAT kind of facial!

If vegetarian food was so great why do they make it taste like meat

IKR???

Frankenmotor guy wants someone to buy the monster and then finish the car that dad had started to put it in. Wat would put it in one he already has, having no interest in the wheels the old man chose.
THat would be this thing:

Why do they care? Once sold, it no longer belongs to them.

You're getting the rain we had last week!

Looking like a wet start to Easter

Tax stuff drove me batty, too! I realized I didn't receive an SSA-1099 for my husband. I thought about trying to calculate the amount paid and the taxes withheld but, after last year's debacle, I'm fearful of making any kind of mistake that would delay things.

I was on hold with SSA for > 3 hours on Monday. I finally decided I would need to file an extension and visit the SSA office in person. I'm getting a refund again so it's OK.

Then, on Tuesday, I found that even though I PAID for Turbo Tax and have done so for years, I COULD NOT efile an extension! There was no way I was going to try to find an open post office in order to get my extension postmarked on Tuesday.

I ended up, after much aggravation and (quite possibly) saying some choice words to my computer, finding an online portal where I could file my extension. I believe this is my last year using Turbo Tax.

Typical, government depts the world over!

I'm going to think about potassium things for a minute and then read for 5 minutes and then call it a day.


Oh, they're going to make me the lead super on this whole 374-unit multi-site job.


Okay.


They may drive me into retirement . . . .

Eyes on the prize!

More rain means it's a great time to turn in a bit early
Sweet Dreams everyone
