For completeness’ sake, I note that after another day’s work by Mario the Wallpaper Installer, the paper in the master bedroom is pretty much done, except for some that will need to be redone because of faulty material (which we have already reordered). He’s going to start the dining room tomorrow. Cool.
Baseboards Wednesday. Probably.
Got the phone message confirmation for our jack repair appointment today. I don’t think I mentioned before, but I scheduled this appointment for the 2-6p window. I thought the 8-11a option too dangerous, because we’re still going at odd hours here and I doubt anyone would be very happy on the odd chance they showed up that early. There was a later window as well, but I didn’t want to give anyone reason to show up at 9p if I didn’t have to.
My thoughtful scheduling was for naught. According to the phone message, the tech will appear sometime between 8a and 6p. ¿Que? That’s not so much a window as the entire day. What was the point of scheduling a window, then?
Yes, I am aware this isn’t a major gripe, as I plan to be awake and getting together by 8 tomorrow morning anyway. Yet after the aforementioned, continuing madness with the DSL line and the revelation that we will need to pay exorbitant fees to get the jacks built into our walls to actually work, I find myself somewhat less magnanimous than usual. We’re not quite to the straw-camel point, though. I know I personally don’t plan to raze any buildings to the ground with a BIC lighter and a straight razor unless the DSL isn’t working by Wednesday night.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll now go back to being distracted by the Food Network in high definition. Mmm. Designer Wedding Cakes.
