Here's hoping today is better:
1. One of the geriatric dogs at the park didn't like having the Boo within 3 feet of him and snarled repeatedly (Boo wasn't really even that obnoxious -- didn't make direct eye contact, hump, or even sniff). This didn't go over all that well with the Boo. We mostly just take her to do obedience and play on the agility equipment these days anyway, but it's a reminder that we have to be really careful with her. Everyone does with their dogs, I guess.
2. Then I found out that the person who is in charge on the T32 I'm on might try to prevent me from getting off of it before 1 year is up should I actually get this F30 that I got the perfect score on. This could force me to decline the F30??? I don't know. It would really F me, since the F30 would fund (part of) me for 3 years, and the T32 gets renewed year by year....
3. THEN my Access database became corrupted. Fortunately I had a backup, but still.
4. Then our programmer told us that he miscalculated one of our main predictor variables that we're using for our analysis.... and he still hasn't gotten us the corrected dataset.
5. And then I discovered a leak in our shower. Water was dripping onto the living room floor.
I eventually did have a pretty productive day, but MAN the first 1/2 was pure suckitude!
The plumber came today. We will be retiling our bathroom and getting a new pan for the shower. Bye bye $$$$!! (Ah the joys of homeownership.) Though I will add that it was incredibly cute when the plumber was explaining what they were going to have to do with the shower, and Boo crawled into the shower and curled up next to him. Hee.
At least today is better. So far. I guess every so often a sucky day is necessary to keep the good ones coming.
6 Pearls of Wisdom:
We've had a sucky week so far here. More than usual amount of calls, insanity.
Today is quieter. Mainly because the fax machine self destructed during the night, and the parts won't be in until tomorrow.
Yay for broken fax machines!! I hope your week calms down too.
And Rikki Phoneysmile, my most hated drug rep, just showed up with lunch to discuss her company's latest worthless pill.
I like your attitude! :)
I bet Boo was adorable in the shower! Bug sometimes jumps in there randomly, I think because she likes the water. The other 3 are mortally afraid of it -- I made the enormous mistake of trying to give Bear a bath in the tub in my old house about a year after I adopted him, and I think I scarred him for life (and I didn't even manage to get him IN the tub!).
I hate random home expenses like that. I remember we had to get something fixed with our septic that seemed like a bajillion dollars. It was like, really, we have to spend all this money on a new poo-filter?
Next time I'm opting for an outhouse and a Kitchen Aid mixer.
The joys of owning your own home! My son has spent all of his free time in the past six months or so redoing his bathroom. It started out as just a wobbly toilet that he thought was caused by rotten boards and ended up with a complete new bathroom.
