Who ever heard of LONG SLEEVES in Manytober, disgusting man?

Office sometimes has overactive air conditioning, and it's often below 60 in the morning before work?

Then sweat when you leave work, not an excuse man.

And if office A/C is overactive, it = hot outside, short sleeves man.

I'm only there like half the time.

But now without the big guy and JR....

And that's what I'm talking about. Your half time might turn into a whole time.

I'm in the office at 7:15. 

There are 5 people here. 

They see that I walked in empty handed. 

Just now, 4 of them goes out for coffee. 

Not one asked me if I wanted/needed anything. 

Why do they want to do that to the guy who's responsible for their livelihoods? 

I don't expect azzkissers. 

But etiquette?

Out of a staff of...23, I say about half are loyal. 

2 are about to be shown the door. 

JR brought them in, and when JR leaves, the axe.  I wonder if they know this is coming...

I've finished painting inside the closet. All afternoon being subjected to Himself telling me that I could come out, he was there to support me.  Very funny, maybe the first time anyway.

 

He went out to put the new car registration in the glove box, and when he didn't return in a few minutes I went out to find him. He was laying on the gravel drive. Said he felt dizzy and nauseous, so sat down. When the situation didn't improve, thought it best to lay down.  All credit to him; he has learned that if Homeostatic Herbie wants you flat and  you don't comply he will take you there. More tinkering with meds.

 

Today I put the new bed frame together and put the new mattress on it.  That's all I got.

Won court case about paint on car by default. They didn't show up.

Still teaching. Still consumed with thoughts about wedding disorganization.

 

Step-daughter didn't come thru on the promised hairdresser to do my hair for other step-daughters wedding in Nov. No surprise here. I already made my own arrangements. She wonders why all her business attempts fail. I can tell her, she over promises and under delivers, if at all. She now owes us over 600 euros (sorry TB no P-math today) for her Uber bill. Lucky for us the card number she is using expires in Dec. and Frenchie is under strict instructions to not give her the new one. She's 30 yrs old and still thinks her father should provide her with a CC to use with the promise of "I'll pay you back".

 

Second step-daughter (the one getting married in Nov.) still hasn't sent the invitations out yet. I don't think they are even printed. smh.

 

My dress finally came in, still not what I wanted, still look fat in it (probably because I am) sigh.

 

Did find a place that sells natural soaps that you can have scented to your liking. Bought a bottle of shampoo scented with mint and rosemary. Love it. Their store concept is you bring your own plastic bottle to re-use and buy soaps in bulk, scented to your choice with essential oils, then pay by the oz. Reduces single use plastic waste.

 

That's all I got.

It was embarrassing when I was still doing that in my early 20s.  I can't imagine expecting my parent(s) to pay my bills at that age.

 

So, random check appeared in my mailbox this afternoon for the full amount of the court judgment.

 

After my day at work yesterday, that was a welcome surprise.

Congrats on the check. Was it from the property owner or their insurance??

 

I never and I mean NEVER had access to my parents CC's or bank account in my entire life.

 

Plus, she was Islamicaly married in August and lives with her "husband" but not having the French civil ceremony until March. I think it's her "husband's" responsibility to either driver her or pay for her Ubers and she's been really hateful to her father lately, which I don't like.
