Say Anything.

While my job is frustrating at times as well, I have to send you kudos Mike, for all you put up with. I know first hand how sucky it is to work in a call center, and the fact that you do it day in and day out and don't lose your mind astounds me.

You do deserve to be told, adult or not, and it sucks that you get taken for granted. With any luck at all your next manager will be worth their salt, and will appreciate you the way you should be.

I just posted like 20 trailers today in the techno crayon. NO wait...

time passes

I just went back and counted, I posted 14. I am so bored today.

My baby and my other baby are in washington without me =( I'm bored and Shadow isn't answering me back.

I am so tired. I need a weekend after my weekend.

Angel went home on Friday afternoon. LB and I headed to NYRF at 7:45am Saturday and I worked my feet to bloody stumps all day. We drove the 70 min home to catch some sleep and do it again on Sunday. Man I am tired.

So far I have seen 4 jousts, two tourney and two scripted. I have seen a dozen fake falls by the knights, marched in 2 parades, 2 wench walks where we kissed half a dozen strange men and one of my friends (he's frelling hot too!). All this I volunteer for. *whimpers* What was I thinking?!

I have a bodice burn, sore feet and need more mead!

Ack!

my kids started school today, sarah's first day in kindergarten, Tristan's first day in his new middle school, that he like, has to take a bus to..hes never taken a bus to school before... Im fretting I didnt get to walk him to the bus stop and wait for it with him cause I had to go with Sarah and Dawson.. but hes prolly too old for all that right?

Middle school? Yeah I was mortified when my mother walked me to school in the 5th grade and took pictures of me out front. O_o

The jeep tire is flat. Why does stuff happen to the cars whenever Mike leaves? =/

if it wasnt that it would be something like the plumbing going out or some appliance breaking.. its just how it is :(

93 degrees in my bedroom, with the fans on.

it was once in the hundred teens in my bedroom, at the least, so hot that the jewelers adhesive stuff they use to apply th little diamonds in my ESQ watch melted and now all the diamonds are loose inside it :(

we had evaporative cooling at the time.. but it was broken, not that it does any good after it gets to like 110 outside.. or if its humid,

Yowch!




It cooled down just a teensy bit when it started raining but then it got humider and made me feel like I was sleeping in peanut butter.

Mom had offered to have me sleep downstairs but that would mean I'd have to sleep with the remnants of three smokers. Blech. No thanks I like breathing clear, even if it does have the consistency of pea soup.

Why don't you get one of those little window ACs?

My room is 25x16.
One of those little 99 dollar jobbies would freeze my ear and that's about it.
Plus, the electric supply in the house has been rather questionable this summer, what with the three window units on the first floor. 450 dollar monthly electric bill. Ouch. But also it won't support another window unit.

It's not that crazy-bad.
After all I choose to sleep up there when there's a living room, dining room, and kitchen all at the mid-60s thanks to the overworked electric of our house pumping through three separate window units, that I could instead be sleeping in. But my reasons for not doing so have already been shared.

My main reason for noting it was two-fold:
93 degrees in my room, HFS
but it's fresh-ish air, so I really shouldn't complain.

What we do is have a fan pointing in from the window and one pointing out as well, so we have good circulation and the air isn't stagnant in the room. Should install one of those ceiling fans too, those help. They also make those little window fans as well.

Get a semi-hermetically sealed pup tent, and throw that down in the living room, with an oxygen tank and exhaust valve :)

And yea, I have a ceiling fan over my bed which is the only thing that makes my room bearable to sleep in some nights. Because my room is off to the side of the house, and faces west, it's usually the hottest place in the evening, and gets very little circulation.

I have a large, very old exhaust fan in the window 12 inches from the end of my bed (or less.) This has one setting: ON HIGH. It pulls air in, because reversing the power leads doesn't reverse the fan's direction, and the speed/direction controller was gone before I ever touched it. I drip a bit of 3-in-1 oil in a lube hole every few weeks. Since it gets 16+ hours of action a day it needs it.

A regular window/box fan is in the opposite window, facing north and pushing air out. It doesn't help all that much, but is most noticeable when coming home after the fans have been off all day and it helps get the air flow going a little.

I've investigated the possibility of a ceiling fan, however due to the fucked up construction of the house there's no feasible way to mount it. The ceiling-mounted hangy-lamp thing we have is wrapped around the central beam that creates the peak of the roof. It's not supported in a contemporary, traditional way like with a support beam or some sort of mounting bracket. Fucked up, huh?

And I have one of those super-small 12 dollar box fans that you can get at the drug store that runs on high that I place at the foot end of my bed which blows over me.

Even had a family friend who works in HVAC examine the house for installing central air. We'd need to do a full reinsulation of the house first, but since they fucked it up the most recent time when the roof was last replaced (early 90s, and even that was majorly fucked up too) it would cost a good 15 grand before even getting to the 4400 or so for the replacing or upgrading of our existing heating system to support the 2400 for the central air unit.

So...
