The Post With No Name

Bored

So I’m kinda bored at the moment. I’m caught up on all of my tasks for the week, and the rest of the department is pretty quiet, too. The dividing wall came down last night, and the difference between the previously separate room and the main office area is pretty stark. Large sections of the ceiling are missing and tangles of wires and cables are looping down. Plus, the lighting and paint is different, giving it a positively gloomy green look to it. I sincerely hope they intend to repaint. Right now, they’re still cartin all the old cabinets out.

(BTW… I just noticed that my new keyboard is one of those quiet numbers… woo-hoo!)

Still Waitin on the New Heat

I didn’t get my new furnace yesterday. So I spent another morning doin the cat-pan shuffle… and covering the wooden platform currently residing outside with plastic since the temperature dropped sharply and we’ve got a dark, gloomy, rainy day all day. I hope it clears up by the weekend (I think it’s supposed to) so we can pick up my new desk in the folks’ truck. Pop’s gonna be workin all weekend, so it’ll be me and Mom. Which should prove vastly entertaining. *snicker*

Weekend Plans

We discussed a gameplan over lunch at Breadbasket. Pop had originally informed me, when he first agreed to supply the use of his truck, that my “shipping charges” would be a coupla six-packs of beer. However, since he won’t be in attendance, my charges have switched to spending a couple of hours with Mom at the Laundromat while she washes her comforters. Or… Pop will manage to talk me into both. He’s good at guilt trips. lol

Spending Even More Money

Tonight, though, I plan to stop by Michael’s again on the way home. They came out with a new sale in yesterday’s paper… better than the one during the first half of the week. I’ve already painstakingly put together a small pile of smaller pics for which I want to find pre-cut mats and frames. Many were added and discarded from the pile several times, but I finally narrowed it down to a (somewhat) reasonable amount and left the rest for later. I also want to look for a print that’s up on the wall in my office… I’ve admired it for months but never got around to finding my own: Brassai’s Les escaliers de Montmartre, Paris, 1936 If I don’t find it, I’ll order the poster online and wait for another 50% off custom framing sale. *grin*

Thus has been my exciting day. Nothin much else to report, so I suppose I’ll sign off for now and check in on the political debate ragin on my m/b. :)
