Lots o' Stuff

Well, here we go. Mega New Year Catch Up Entry:

1) We eventually got our kitchen/office floor replaced. It took awhile, and was a fun-filled adventure!

- Dana, the maintenance supervisor, eventually showed up and determined the lino did need to be replaced. Jay, the guy who did it, showed up two hours late, started ripping out the old stuff, determined that the crappy particle-board floor was still wet at the edges, and couldn't put the new floor down that day. Had to come back the following day. No problem. He shows up an hour late the next day, and starts working away. We have to leave. We get back, the floor itself is down, but the new kickboards under the cupboards are falling off...

- A week later, Dana comes back, inspects, determines the job is inadequate. Calls us later that day, to set up an appointment for Jay to come back on Saturday morning at 10am, to finish the job. At 3pm on Saturday, I call the office and leave a message that he has not shown up. On Monday, Dana calls to ask if Jay had called us on Saturday (according to Jay, we had, and had told him it was inconvenient for him to come). Finally, on the Wednesday, Jay shows up at 9am as scheduled, and 20 minutes later, the new kickboards are up and the metal strip between the carpet and the lino is in place and he's gone.

2. Karen, Alexander and I have all been sick with nasty bugs that just will not go away. Mild fever that occasionally spikes for no apparent reason, then goes away. Cough. Chills. Aches. You know, the fun flu bugs that have been going around. *cough* *cough*

3. The Friday Before Christmas: I get a job interview. Finally. Seemed to go very well, and the job is perfect for me, but we won't hear back until the first week of January (next week, I presume). ACK!

4. New Year's Eve at home. I watched TV. My wife worked on her blog. Our son slept. All in all, a rockin' good time.

Happy New Year, Everyone!
