Woke up at stupid o'clock with massive headache and sore throat. Had coffee. Went back to bed.

Tipping my hat to the Bitch Thread, I seem to always talk about what happened yesterday in this thread.

Normally when posting about today, it is not going to happen. I am usually TOO Busy while shit is happening to post much, so ...

... as a way to offer peace, I will suggest that yesterday, today and tomorrow are congruent within certain minds.

Recently, an old "friend" came by and wanted to show me the New Creation they had been working on.
He knocked on the door and I peeked out. "OMG!! The User. The Mooch! The always wants something for nothing guy." "WTF could he possibly want??!! RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!?? WHAT!!"

I opened the door, I mean, shit,  I AM from Texas and all. We try to be courteous at first.

He was so damn glad to find me, it seems. He remembered me as an Animal fan (music stuff). He was out distributing Blu-ray copies of a disc they were planning to release soon, but wanted feedback from people who know the music. WTF, again!
Me?

I asked what they had done and the story is that one of the Chicago people he now works for has compiled a collection of live War (band name) music, set for release early next year.

He knew I was a fan of old music, so he thought of me and figured that all my old contacts were still viable and I could help him. Moocher! But it turns out he had boxes of Blu-rar disc and flash drives to distribute to community college radio stations, low wattage radio stations etc. He thought of me. OK make all the low wattage jokes you need.

He was here to give me a Blu-ray of old Live War and I said, "Thanks." BUT, fucking WOW!!  Wait a minute. How can I help. He gave me a thirty case of Blu-ray discs of this fairly cool collection of upcoming, yet to be released Live Music.

Then asked if I could give them all away. I said, "Yeah!"

I thought about it and wondered what I had just promised. What if I have just been given something very valuable by some questionable acquaintance from the past I never trusted, but who needed a way out of HIS promises.

I just do not need any of this right now!~!!!

Were you supposed to do it or was it a random act of sabotage?  We need details!

In office. Slow unproductive day. Lots of boring conversation around me.

"Worked" (whatever one defines as work, I was pretending to do it).
Came home and attempted to unclog and clean the gutters on the pergola roof. I got the job done for the most part and the downpipe is free flowing again. The gutter is still mysteriously leaking though :apondering:

Worked all day and some of the evening. Two clients is a bit much but client #2 will be done in about a week or so.

This old music is fucking awesome!

It is mainly old War music with Eric Burdon singing and performing funk-like. I love it all.

I made a few phone calls and the box is gone.

Today, I have been either on the phone or chasing the latest emails, keeping things moving forward on our new home.

Well, not NEW, but new to us and certainly an upgrade to our present home. I dropped most of my savings and, as my brother said, I will be broke, but I insist, NOT BROKEN!!

I'll post some pics a bit later.

I thought I was going to work all day, but...

Woke up at stupid o'clock and didn't get much sleep after that.

The dishwasher died so I spent the first part of the morning troubleshooting. It really is dead.

I had a dentist's appointment so that took care of the rest of the morning. Got an implant, which is a really good thing, but it feels so weird and it took forever.

Grabbed a quick sandwich. Not starving is good.

I did a work meeting to review a unit conversion solution for a client. Gave them the go-ahead but with conditions. Also did emails and other admin.

A building inspector came by to see what had been done to replace and sound-proof our windows (we live next to the railway), but also to see the damage the builders did to our floors. He was not happy. Took another two hours.

Did more admin but was interrupted.

Had to shop groceries and dog food.

Daughter and her boyfriend came buy, had dinner with us, and we had a generally good time.

I then walked the dog. She was pleased.

And I finally got back to work. Came up with an elegant solution for a problem I've been thinking about all week. This is for client #2, though, and client #1 didn't get anything done beyond that meeting.

Not going to accept another project next to client #1 anytime soon. Except an on-and-off one contacted me yesterday about work, and client #2 says they can keep me busy all of next year.

Now drinking a beer and hoping tomorrow is less stressful.

The first part of this day sounds familiar. A lot of people get the day after Thanksgiving off work, but I don't. It was still a slow day so took the opportunity to get a head start on weekend cleaning chores to allow time for a weekend project. Have been waking up at stupid o'clock for months, not sure what's up with that. Have always looked forward to retirement because if the world would let me, would sleep between four am and noon. Though now wondering if my body clock will change before then and I'll be up at four am like every other old person. :laugh: Recently quit using the dishwasher. About a year ago it started beeping while it runs, which was really annoying at first but got used to it. It functions, but for some unknown reason about a month ago started washing and hand drying everything. Have grown to like it because all of the dishes are always completely done and put away. That might change if ever returning to the office, because wont be here to do them all throughout the day.
