Technicalities and stuff
Got up early and hit the ground running. Started shifting more boxes so that the bedroom phone jack would be accessable for the technician. Did that and a few bits of tweaking in there, as well as the sinkful of dishes before his arrival around 10.
He reminded me of Keith Carradine, which was a bit unsettling, but not nearly as much as finding out that my line in from the pole has been severed, either by the roaming asshole trespassers or a careless yard worker. After I nearly had an aneurysm, he said he wasn't going to charge me extra for what he'd done, because the (insert technical reason here) thing on the pole didn't have a good connection, so someone else would have to come out and fix that. Other guy is here now, and also says what he's doing won't be extra, although as with many things, I am cynical, and won't believe it til I've seen my first bill.
I got brunch between technicians, and afterward got back to work on my room. Went through my scarf collection and a bunch of purses, although I really need to round ALL my bags up, go through them and find a place for them to live. Still, I got a lot of stuff that was hanging in random places catagorized and tucked into less obtrusive places. I changed out the quilted wall hanging I had blocking the east window; the pastel nine-patch is now a pieced Sunbonnet Sue that G'ma Sis made.
At one point, I was thinking of turning my current office into a boudoir, and that's sounding better and better. Of course, that entails getting approximately 2000 books out of here to make room for that stuff, which means thinning out said books and making room for them in the designated library. And *that* involves dragging shelves in there, which entails clearing off those shelves and making sure there's room to haul them into place...it's complicated. Considering my ass has been dragging since last Friday, this is not going to be quick or easy.
Anyway, that's what's been going on today. Tomorrow, I'm going with Mb to a doctor's appointment; I'm waiting to hear back from her about what time that's scheduled so I can let MarketingExec know what's a good time to touch base about scheduling training.
I'm going crazy, but it's the good crazy.
