We don't leave CD cases in the car anymore. Every single one you leave in the car just gets warped after the first hot day.

We used to have a midnight blue car and the heat it would build up was unbelieveable. Now we have a white car it's much better.

Ducks, you should put a towel in the car for the hot days. At least then you can sit on the towel instead of straight on the hot leather.

You should ALWAYS have a towel in the car. A towel is perhaps the most useful thing in the world.
Haven't you read Douglass Adams?

Maybe Ducks likes the burning?

I am alone.

I'm sick and there is no one to take care of me :(

Me too!

I have no one to take care of.

BigV, where's Tink? Please tell us that she's just at her friend's for the day or something.

Bbro, Case, yeah, that sucks, you really feel your aloneness when you're crook. I hope some friend unexpectedly drops by with chicken (or tofu) soup.

Thanks for the well-wishes.

Here we go again. :cool:

Get well bbro! :)

Gray skies outside. Ho hum.

:grouphug:

remember a few months back how i was upset that some paper pusher in a back room had effed up and cost me $xx,xxx??????? a different effing paper pusher in a different room has effed up and cost me $xx,xxx!!! it is not damaging to the client, but irritating. irritating enough that as it stands now i have lost the client. that adds up to HUGE losses for me over the next couple years.

:eyebrow: this is bullshit. there are only a small handful of top drawer companies that do what they do and i hired the toppest of the top and this is the bullshit that i get? WTF? right now i'm trying real hard to remember why i turned down that offer from a firm that wanted to hire me as an employee. the reasons are still there, but +/- isn't so easily decided right now. WTF?:mad2: :mad:

I was so relieved this morning, because finally, we had a chance to get our burnt-out HVAC compressor replaced. The piece of crap had been replaced just 3-4 years ago before it died again late last winter--but at least it would still be covered by the 5-year warranty, right?

Wrong. I just found out that when the developer replaced the compressor, he had one put in that was already two years old. So, of course the warranty is expired.

Now a $1000 job has turned into a $3500 job. And we get to go back to hoping that the rest of the winter isn't as freaking cold as it was last year. :worried:

that sux - my next door neighbor just went through the same thing - turned out to be $5000! Ouch

Sore throat, aching all over and exams are looming ever larger. Owww. Owww. Also am in middle of stopping smoking and yesterday was first day I have managed without a single cheat.....so....am really hoping i can get through today. I get quite scatty when I am stopping smoking. Am using the nicoteine gum, but still really want to smoke.
