Monday morning, every tech rep got called in to a meeting. When they get all of us in one room at one time, it is not a good sign. Sure enough, we found out that with the recent decisions in the company to change how tech support is handled, they are disbanding our group and it is being centralized in OKC. So our choices are customer relations ( ( Read more... )

Since joining the evil time suck of Facebook, it's been forever since I've posted anything here, but I've decided to take a break from cleaning and blog about, you guessed it, cleaning ( Read more... )

Man, they sure are horrible to deal with. Jody moved his computer to work last week, so moved the DSL account from his name to my name, and was able to get it at half the price. It was supposed to be connected on Thursday, but when I came home, I got an error message. It was Saturday before I had time to call in, and they told me there was still an ( Read more... )

Next time I have to work on a project, I'm going to think it all out before I do anything. After the nightmare of drywalling the ceiling in the bathroom, I now have to remove the drywall above the shower and put in hardy board as I have just been informed that the tiles I want to put up won't stay on the greenboard, and they don't recommend putting ( Read more... )

Our new wi-fi modem arrived four days early. I've got it all hooked up and working. In other good news, it looks like Jody got his LLC papers today, got the email off to our business investor (his Mom), and signed up for a landline and DSL with Windstream, the only provider at his business location ( Read more... )

Work has been quite interesting lately. We've had overtime offerings since June, including mandatory ot for the first time in my nearly three years here. It's come in at a great time for us with Jody on unemployment, but means I have even less time and energy to keep up with the housework ( Read more... )

When I got up this morning, I informed Tripp that tonight my phone was going to go beep beep (which is what we say when our alarm clock goes off), and that when it did, it was going to be time to turn off the TV and get ready for bed. So off it went, and I let him finish watching one of the short episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine, while putting on ( Read more... )

I've got too much on my mind tonight, so thought I'd better empty out my brain a bit and then maybe I'll be able to sleep. I'm going to stick this behind a cut as it's likely to be rambling.

I canceled my overtime today and went in to Jody's new workplace to help him get things looking decent. We got a late start this morning as I slept in until 8:30 (fondly remembering the days I could sleep until noon!) and then lazed around the house until I found my motivation. Jody had wanted some help painting the walls in his new office, as his ( Read more... )

Except for the top of the desk and the box of stuff to go in my coffee table when it's made, the bedroom is clean. New curtains and curtain rods, a new blind in one of the windows, a new woven cotton blanket for the bed, and a repaired bookcase that is holding all of my science-fiction/fantasy hardcovers. Jody will be moving this computer to his ( Read more... )
