Finally getting around to eating lunch, in and among all of the shit we have to do here today. The building code enforcement wing showed up this morning at the behest of the management lady we like so much. It was the same code person who was ornery to her at her building downtown when their crackwhore - head - no, whore - tenant stuck a coat hanger in the sprinkler head, broke it, and flooded her wing. Luckily for her, this time she had Wat, who intuitively knew who was who when they got out of the car and proceeded to charm the proper person. It paid off. Long story short, she will let us reoccupy the 2 units we need to, and she accepted our plan to renovate that stack of units when we work on the next floor. All things considered, it couldn't have gone any better.
I've decided to give the crew an extra bonus for the work they've done this year. It'll basically be an additional paycheck that's a little more than normal pay. They've performed well. and we're making money. So, Uncle Sam can tax them for it instead of the company.
Had a long talk this afternoon with our development director/guy. He's the one who puts these things together. Anyway, he seemed most pleased that we have a plan to make this thing work.
Now, if I can just draw a picture of what I hope that looks like.
My good luck ran out, one of the washers broke and the marketing desktop system overheated, I suspect a power supply issue but it could be almost anything.
Home. Eating various foodstuffs which congregate here. That Damned Kitten and the (formerly) Porch Panther are playing, and that's a good thing.
The insulation contractor was scheduled to be here all of this week to complete my attic. Monday to Friday. They arrived Tuesday afternoon a few minutes before 3, broke the sprinkler at 6, showed up Wednesday at a quarter to two and removed wet insulation from their mess, arrived this morning at half past nine and maybe got 15% of my attic done. Without the certificates that they're supposed to be putting in each section.
Happy Thursday!!! Slept okay. Just a busy spell in Life right at the moment. Making some different headway today. Priming the pump with coffee and all the while wondering why the felines are so quiet.
Eventually we will find (mostly in retrospect, of course) that we can be very grateful to those people who have made life most difficult for us.
On the jobsite. No insulation weasels, but we kinda knew that they'd be a-weaselin' out today, and likely for the weekend, too. HVAC guys are doing their sample dehumidifier installation v 2.0. The miscellaneous guys are hard at work destroying surplus cabinets which Wat can't peddle off like the greedy capitalistic bastard he is at heart, The airseal testiclers will be here soon to testicle the airseal. I wonder how much wind this place sucks. The building, not so bad. The city? Sucks nationwide., kinda like all shiteating little cities . . . .
Home. Grazed in. I know, that happens a lot lately. They say it saves money. It also saves Wat from having to spend any more time in public than necessary.
Happy Saturday!!! Slept okay. Up a bit early. Just another working day. I had an idea for work on what to focus on today, and it made more sense that what I was going to have us do. So I think that, insh'Allah, we shall focus on that.
Insh'Allah that coffee grant us functionality of mind . . . .

Anyone who, even for a second, feels a pure, clear confidence on hearing the truth will experience immeasurable happiness. Why? Because, at that moment, that person is not caught up in the concept of a self or a living being or a life span. He is not caught up in concepts about the world, nor is he caught up in concepts about nothingness. He does not take any notice of the idea that this is a sign, or this or that is not a sign. For if you are caught up in ideas, then you will be caught up in the self. And even if you are caught up in ideas about nothingness, you will still be caught up in the self. That's why we should not get attached to the belief that things either exist or do not exist. This is the hidden meaning when I say that my teachings are a raft to be abandoned when you see true being.
Rainy days are perfect for errands because everyone else stays home. I'm off with that wishful thought in my head because I have to be an adult and them them done. See you soonish.
My license plate stickers for my truck arrived in the mail today. My work truck, not so much. Of course, what I can do is put this set on the work truck and then put the work truck stickers on my truck when they get here, since mine is good until 30 November.
Damn I'm good!!!
Home early. The kids knocked off at 3. I hung around another 45 minutes. We got some needed shit done. Tomorrow, we clean floors.
