We are starting to see the bottom of the pool! It is still green, but no way as dark and pond like. Maybe I will be able to use Thrusday on my day off………grin……keep your fingers crossed.

The biggest dissappointment is, if you read Harold’s post, is the pool…..gggrrrr I was so looking forward to laying out, jumping in the pool when hot and sticky, setting up my laptop on that patio, again jumping in the pool while hot and sticky……..you get the picture.
I did figure out how to back up my emails so that is now uploading to the server. It shows only one or two files and, of course, didn’t click in my head that those one or two files are huge! They have been uploading since about 18:00-19:00hrs and they are only about 70% done.
I did set a reminder in my outlook to backup every 3 weeks. I rarely change much once I’m set, so it’ll mainly be for emails. The only thing left to set up in my site files for dreamweaver and my photoshop settings for resizing. Once I do that I have some pics I want to get done and up.
Speaking of which, emails are caught up! Thankfully. The virus and then the server moves really had put me behind.
Enough of my belly aching…..lol I got to be a bum all day and finally catch up on 2 weeks of Time magazines, so I guess I did ok today. =)

Crap!
Friday afternoon I go outside to take a break and I notice the pool pump is not making its normal sound, so I look it over and notice it is not pumping water and I shut it off and call the pool guy. Pool guy calls me 6 hours later and says he may stop by Saturday. About 6pm Saturday he shows up looking like this is a 1 min job so he won’t be bothered to bring his tools and of course, tells me he needs his tools.
Comes back Monday and spends 4 hours tearing it apart and tells me it needs a new gasket and he will be back tomorrow, Tuesday he is here 4 more hours and finally gets his saw and cuts the pump off the lines and tells me it had a leak and all needs replaced and he will be back Friday…. Maybe.
Today and Tomorrow Pauline has off and our plans were…. Yep, pool and laying in the sun all day. Now I have a nice green cement pond in the back yard that is just a few days away from having its own eco system complete with fish and alligators…
What bugs me the most, is when this all happen, I told him I saw what looked like a leak and he blew me off and guess what part he ends up cutting out? It also rubs me wrong that it has taken so much time, his main thing he tried was just turning the pump on/off a few dozen times, then after hours of this he started to take things apart. We also live less then 1 mile from no less then 3 pool supply stores so it rubs me wrong that he did not just go get what he needs and finish the job.
Why will people not go the extra mile anymore?

We’ve been planning on changing hosts/servers for a few months. But we had things we needed to take care before we did all that. Well, we ended up doing it a few days ago due to circumstances beyond our control. So if the site or blog was down, it was due to that. Everything is up and hopefully there won’t be anymore problems. If you see anything, let me know ASAP.
Now, due to that (besides the virus of last week) I wasn’t getting emails for a few days as our new host set us up. I recieved them all yesterday and I don’t believe any were lost (fingers crossed), so I’ll try to get to them soon. This weekend is a working weekend with back to back shifts so it is going to be hard to get to them until next week.
My GM Sandee invited me over to work on something at her place Thursday. I thought it would be a cool thing to do. Well, we want grocery shopping when I got off of work Wednesday night and did not get home to after 1……..we died AFTER 2am. So I had a hard time rolling out of bed until almost 10………icks…..that is way past my normal time. So by the time I got things taken care and showered it was too late. =(
I did get my nails done………..they were horrible…….I beat the crap out of them….lol It ended up being a good thing that all I did was get my nails done. By the time I got home Harold had a big project for me concerning some of our moves that needed to be fixed. I worked on that until late last night and I’m proud to say that I got what he gave me done. =)
Right now, I’m getting ready for work………..not feeling like dealing with the Friday night crowd….icks. I’ve worked alot of mornings on that last few Fridays and had my routine down. =) Oh well, that is life. =)

I’m ok…. Really I am…. I AM DANGIT NOW LET IT GO!!!! Sheesh….
Been pretty nutty here this past week, spent a few hours cleaning the house Sunday due to all the dust from the construction site which I notice today didn’t matter and was just time wasted so we get to do that again.
And now we have to plan on finding a new place to live of course, but I have too much on my plate this week so I will worry about that next week.
I got a nice crunch bench this week, got it online, I tried to get the same thing at a local sports store, but when I asked guy #1 who was working there where I go to get the box, he looked around, asked guy #2 who said they was out as he walked away and then guy #1 looked at me and said “we are out†and quickly walked away so I was standing there dumbfounded….
I go to the front desk and asked for a manager and sure enough…. Turned out to be guy #1… so I laughed and told him what I thought of his customer service and that I would not be back which turned out for the best since I found the exact same thing for $30 cheaper including shipping online
Ho hum…. Not much else to add.
