Still waiting for the satellite dude...

I know he is a dude because he has already called, speaking in his thick broken Spanish accent, to say that he was going to be at least a few hours late.

Maybe I should actually try to get some work done while waiting...

The again my couch is looking real inviting. |potleaf|

Morning all. Finally got the dentist over with. Ended up my regular dentist only found one cavity, oh joy and managed to get me almost all the way numb so there was very little pain.

Then we went to the Home Depot grand opening, and wow we almost couldn't find a parking space. We talked to the regional manager who was visiting, and he said in all the years he's worked for Home Depot, he has never seen a grand opening of a store so busy. :D

Then we tried to get a quote to get our windows replaced. Should have seen the looks on their faces when we told them that our house was cinder block, and the dweeb builder mortared in the windows, and they have no sills, just flimsy metal frames. We told them it would be easier to box in the window, and put some outdoor trim then try to cut the frames out, lol. But they will be coming over in a few days to give us a better estimate. I'd love to get all 4 of the windows replaced with some real windows that actually help keep the heat out in the summer then these I swear motor home reject windows we have now.

Today Just the chiropractor, then alot of work to make up for all the dentist trips I have made the last few days. Have a good one all. |waves|

Good morning everyone,

My cable guy is coming today too. It's been nice with the radio and some good convo with the wifey but..

Oh snap Cox just called me midpost.

She said she wants to inform me of the rate increase for the install.|bullshit|

I told my wife that price seemed scammy. Sure enough the coxsuckers try to jam me up for 5 bucks.

Yah I'm cheap but.. It's the point. So she credited the 5 bucks |headbang|

but I still have to wait here 8-5 for the cableguy. Hope its a chick and not some fat ass.

Spent most of the day yesterday working on some hardware -- now today will be spent reinstalling all of the software. :)

Hope everyone has a decent Thursday.

Morning!

Another day of rain, so sick of this!

May go away for a few days to check out jobs in another area and get some peace and quiet...:D

Have a nice day all!

Afternoon..
After an exhausting day at NYU yesterday, I've opted to stay home today and catch up on work, reorganize for travel tomorrow etc. My RugDawg has gone with our friend (who also sublets my apartment) to her job at the UN today for a behind the scenes tour. Turns out we have to come back here on Monday to meet with the financial aid office and meet with his student adviser on Tuesday.

Since we had already planned a "goodbye" dinner tonight we are still going through with it which means I'll be very hungover while training through upstate NY tomorrow.

|waves| have a good one and for those traveling .. be safe. |thumb

Our DSL installer looks like Greenies younger brother. I really need to get a pic of him one of these times.

I'm still waiting for my dude.
(why does that sound so strange)

I'll try to take a pic of my dude too, maybe bent over all sweaty.

We should start an installer home of fame. |jester|

I'll have you know that I was a DirecTv installer for about 4 or 5 months. Want pics? |boobies|

Morning all - another day in paradise.

Way too much work and way too little time.

I'll be waiting for the cable/internet guy tomorrow at our new place. Both places we lived at here in Portland had never been hooked up to cable. The townhouses are cable ready, but the previous tenants never used it. Which sucks, cuz they can't just turn the thing on.....so I get to wait on their slow asses.

What a wonderful start to a too fucking busy time for us. My Brother came down last week and my 4 year old nephew had a cough which he so cheerfully gave to us so we have both been very sick since Sunday. In my entire life I have never had my heart stolen by any kid like this monster has stolen mine, and I swear I will get even with his goofy grinning ass when he is bigger for getting me sick for the first time in 2-3 years.|barf|

Tonight we start moving into our new/larger/better place where I plan to move over the PC's, TV's, and Business/Sex related items as well as the 2 cats and wife and whatever else I can grab with my Jeep, and then bright and early tomorrow (OK, early for me, 10am) the movers get here to do all the grunt work while I stand behind them screaming "NO, NOT THERE, TO THE LEFT 1.25 inches....YOUR OTHER LEFT!!! I SAID 1.25 inches not 1.3 inches!"|sandm

Did I mention it will be 97F today, 102F Friday and 98F Saturday?|verysad

We then have Saturday and Sunday and Monday and part of Tuesday to get the new house as organized as best as we can so we can go to Curacao with a clear conscious... not that having a guilty conscious would matter to me, I'm still going to that island and smoking my ass off.|potleaf|

Comcast has been brilliant since we moved here last year, when we put in a transfer of service they decided to cut us off 10 days early, so when we figured out it was them and not the modem that we replaced they told us it would take 72 hours to fix so we have been using our phone cards for over a week. |banghead|

We will be using Verizon DSL at the new place and when we return from the island we will order DirectTV and dump Comcast as much as we can, bust since we have 12 cams running 24/7 (When we have access to the Internets of tubes) I think we are going to try and keep the internet so we would have 2 options instead of just one.

So in short….

COUGH COUGH COUGH!!!!!!!!!

Fun.

DirecTV just gave me a $100 credit for the installer not showing up on time.

Still no idea when he will actually show up. :(

With my luck I would be in the shower or asleep and miss his knock on the door....|cry||shocking|

I noticed that whenever there's a UPS or FedEx delivery that requires a signature, they ultimately arrive during the 10 minutes I'm away, taking my kids to school. It's a goddamn conspiracy to make me drive to them and I know it!

What is the cost there? We are wanting 3 HD-DVR boxes and I think they said it would be $700.

for $100 off I am hopeing they show up late for us.

Can you get Fios? No idea how long it will take for us to get it, but I am on the list to be notified/spammed about it.

Cable is here|bananna|

I was the first appointment.

I guess they decided to get that asshole customer out of the way first |angry| <<<---me

I'm getting a HD DVR and HD dish and they are relocating my old Tivo DVR into my bedroom all for free. I'm am paying a $20 processing fee and signing a two year contract. My monthly bill will be going up by $10 a month for the HD programming.

Fios is not available here and I have no idea when it will but once it is I'm getting rid of my cable modem.

More excuses as to why he's lying about his boo boo ankle |cry|

Upstate? Are you going to visit Useless? Maybe stop in for a game of tennis with Lorsha? Spend the day at the state capital building learning about New York law? I only ask because I LIVE IN WESTERN NEW YORK |angry|

I've got nothing |pokefun||greenguy|

It sounds strange because we know that you don't like cock |couch|

Good evening all,

I must admit I haven' read any post that has been made in this thread. I just got home after a rather hard day of work and just want to relax and sling a little bit of porn around now. Since tomorrow is Mothers Day here (silly excuse for another holiday) I might go to my regular bar to get some beers. Have a nice day all :)

Ok Im picking up the tail end here. The wife is just about moved out.. and today is our 5th year anniversary..I made it! LOL Ive got some running around later and then packing for a glorious weekend in the far reaches of NY state. I think the last time I was up that way I was wearing a rubber raincoat getting soaked trying to take pics of waterfalls (I know not the same place).

Happy trails everyone see ya soon.

PS the weather looks good to go

Anywhere outside of Manhattan is "Upstate" plus our choo-choo meanders through such picturesque places as Croton-on-Hudson, Albany, Saratoga Springs, Utica, Rome, Syracuse (maybe we'll glimpse the U while chugging by) ... etc etc before arriving in Beautiful Downtown Buffalo ..

That's about as upstate as it gets on the way to WESTERN NY... |jester|
