Sorry to hear that. I was thinking a lot of companies might permanently shift to the work-from-home model. Certainly a lot less overheard that way.
Agreed, but then there are those managers that need to be able to directly lord over their subjects.
But in the current overlords defense, they just took out a lease on a new office space for our operation (we actually moved in the middle of the lock down), so having done so they sort'a need to make use of the investment.
Wish they'd change their minds though ('cause I hate the new digs).
I was in the office till 8 p.m. coordinating repairs and then went home to a house without power and had to get the generator up and running in order to keep the food cold and the sump pump working.
Long day...
We still haven't invested in a generator as of yet. I probable need to reevaluate that choice given the steady rise in storm severity over time. Probably should look into installing a transfer switch like Doc has while I'm at it.
I was expecting a double entendre in here some reason.
Sorry to let you down there, but I suspect that my attempts at entendre would be but a pale shadow of the work I've seen you crank out.
I think I'm good for just one day a week in the office until at least January.
<<envy, envy, envy>>>
Just a reminder how glad I am to escape the madness of denying me a raise only to pay two staff salary and benefits.
That is rather bass-ackwards...
My overlords are more Wall Street oriented. They've been combining more and more jobs into fewer and fewer people without any additional compensation for years.
I ain't see a positive adjustment in 12 of them there years.
You'd think I'd have given up by now.
I didn't know you had a place on the coast. I could have parked the camper there years ago.
Welllllll...
There's a bit of a catch to that.
Two actually.
First, it was my in-laws place originally, but the daughters have recently inherited the place so I - myself am only an "owner" by default.
Next problem is that "we" actually only own 1/13 of the property. There are that many different owners and we run it kind'a like a private time-share. Every group is guaranteed one week per quarter on a rotating calendar so every one eventually has access to the various holidays and time frames. The down side for you is that while I'd be happy to have you park the RV out front, you'd only be able to leave it there one week out of every thirteen.
I was suppose to run this morning but the bed sheets wouldn't let me go.
I need to try that excuse on the employers.
Pretty sure they'd accept that one right off.
There are but few if any exceptions to that maxim.
It would have been nice to have the A/C last night.
No doubt...
We lost power for a couple of days after a storm a month or two back and then had the A/C system completely fail a couple weeks ago. Long nights those were. At least when the A/C failed, we still had power and were able to break out the fans, so that was a bit more tolerable.
We did lose a deck umbrella, though.
Oh the humanity...
[using the Les Nessman version of the quote in this instance]
One flooded basement was enough for me to make the investment. Although it was a bit of a blessing in disguise--we threw away a lot of stuff that we really didn't need to be storing down there in the first place.
I like the sound of that.
Problem is, we don't have a basement and all the stuff we ought to git rid of is in the attic. Don't think a flood of that magnitude would be very gentle on the rest of the house.
How does one arrange to have a flood?
Asking for a friend.
Install a hot tub near some access point to said basement.
Then while filling it up, inadvertently have the hose kind'a flop out and just happen to land where the water heads directly downstairs.
Hay, it could happen to anyone.
