workin' hard
One of the owners of the nursing home stopped by today. He, David, and Bob had a meeting today in the trailer with two guys about the telephone/data systems that are being installed. The group then went and met with the general contractor later.

It rained less today. I finished the filing pretty fast this morning. I also finished numbering the first two photobooks. I also got through the first section of photos in the last book. Bob and I worked out a new way of doing the logs for them. We switched out the bad floppy drive in my computer for a working one this afternoon and I was able to just give him the file with the log sheet template I made. This will save huge amounts of time. Especially since Bob's taken over 1500 photos of things that need to be fixed in the two months he's been there. There was one picture that showed drywall in the plastic, but the plastic had been cut open and the drywall inside was *covered* in mold. Wow...

We had a lot of incoming calls today, but most of them were fairly legit. Not a lot of telemarketors this time around.

alone
The guys had a lot of meetings today. I spent a lot of time alone, which sucked because I finished all my work really fast and then had no one to ask if they needed me to do anything else. I ended up playing Solitaire, Free Cell, and Minesweeper a lot. I have a Win2K machine with no internet access. It sucks when I'm bored.

whee!
I called Estelle today and we're going to get together on Saturday. Mom's working all day and, if it's not raining *too* hard, Dad will probably go work out at the club. I have Bellmore's Installation tomorrow night and I'm taking Deidre in with me, so I can't hang with Estelle tomorrow. If we can, it'll be cool to catch The Hulk on Saturday. I think it opens this weekend.



so now i'm a liar
So, I posted a message on the RPG about how annoyed I've been getting about the way people are posting and the fact that I've been pressured by several players in this RPG about my posting. Well, one guy takes the whole thing personally (when I only addressed one part to him) and bitches me out, calling me a liar. I just can't win. These guys are incredible!

I addressed this particular person because of how he posted, and then continued on to rant about the overall IM practices of several players (including him). As I made a particular example, which wasn't about him, he took it as if I was still talking to just him and said I was lying about him.

I admit it, after rereading what I wrote, that it probably wasn't completely clear who I was talking about in my message. I apologized for that. However, I did *not* apologize for lying because I didn't. He made me feel pressured to post when I wasn't ready to, *and* he did some things that were bad RPing practices.

The issue that finally got me to say something was the fact that, due to his impatience, he posted again before I could respond to his last post. Normally, this is not a big deal. However, his character attacked mine in the last post, then attacked mine AGAIN in the next post. If it was so important for his character to run off and do something else because I wasn't responding fast enough, then he should have just had him break free. He should not have had his character attack mine a second time before I had the chance to react to the first attack.

But, I'm a liar, so... {{shrugs}} And apparently, this guy's worked more in two months than I have worked in my entire life. According to him, anyway. Does this mean I don't have an excuse for being tired? Guess so. I should get on my computer as soon as I walk in the door, skip dinner and hanging out, and don't stop posting in this ONE game ALL NIGHT, right?



Riiiiight.
