Has anybody else ever noticed that you can go weeks with nothing to do at work and then all of a sudden...BAM!! A ton of work comes your way....egh...it is so frustrating. On Monday we are moving, mom and I are trying to pack all the crap we have, and of course I get 3 new survey projects at work. Normally I'm busy just doing one. But now I have 3 at the same time and I have to create a PowerPoint presentation for Mr. Kelley, our president at work for his Wal*Mart meeting next week. That's due on Friday. Eek! No pressure!!! Yeah right...**sigh**...Out of 250 employees, he picks me to do it. I feel it's an honor that he thinks so highly of my presentations but come on, just this once, couldn't you have picked someone else? Oh well...another "atta-girl" for my yearly review...I better get bigger raise this year or a promotion! :)
I know I can do it, just means that I have to be quick and make sure I dot my "I's" and cross my "T's". I am just thankful that I have next Monday off (at least for now) and maybe next Tuesday, depending how the move goes and how much we can unpack on Monday. The grout guy came today to redo our showers at the rental. The owners of the rental picked the guy (we got our own quote for 560 bucks...yes it was that bad...but it included both showers). This guy came in and only did my mom's shower and he only went half way up. He totally did a half-ass job (excuse my french). So it looks like I will grouting my own shower tomorrow. But we did get our new trash compactor today in the kitchen (which the owner replaced because the previous tenant broke it). It work really well so at least that was a trade off. Window cleaners come tomorrow. They are cleaning all the windows, high-pressuring the house walls, and then cleaning all the screens and shutters through out the house. We have used, "Window Valet" before at our house now and they do an excellent job. Juan from work and I are going tomorrow to install more door hardware, bath fixtures, cabinet hardware, shower heads, etc. Should be fun and Juan is such a nice guy to help us out for free. It will be awesome once the new carpet is in Friday (that will make a big difference). I am hoping to oil the wood floors tomorrow too. Can't forget to do that!
I can already tell that the house cleaner that the condo owners hired to come on Saturday aren't going to a good enough job for mom's standards. So I can only imagine that I will be there with her on Sunday, cleaning everything they miss or going over the house twice. Why does my mom have to be such a neat-freak? At least she doesn't iron the sheets anymore. But that's why I love her...we always have a clean house to come home to. I can't figure out how people can live in a dirty/messy house. Yuck! Plus for some odd reason, I think she thinks a clean home, lowers my rate of infection. I can see how that can help. I really think she is trying to figure out some way to help me. Every little bit counts.
OK...I am done rambling. Goodnight everyone. Busy day tomorrow. If I have time I will post an update!
