barn raising

Aug 31, 2009 09:55

We survived week one and lab check in.  Geoff's been exhausted, going to bed around 8:30.  We're still figuring out all the things that no one tells you about, just because they're done the way they've always been done.

I found out that my office phone has a different number than it claims, and that the phone also connects to another chem prof and the department secretary.  The number I've been giving out goes right to some guy's voicemail.  I don't know who he is.  I need to get that straightened out.

Our neighbors across the street are building a barn/garage. They hired professional help in the form of men in plain clothes and straw hats.  I'm a big fan.  A bearded older man, two young men, and a pre-teen boy are working alongside their modernly-dressed driver and co-worker as they assemble the attic floor this morning.

Still waiting to close.  It's obnoxious.
