Never expect  outlets to be where you think they should be.
Never expect outlets to be not-worn enough that you can use your hair dryer, or have it sitting on the counter not being touched, and the outlet to hold the plug into the wall.  (In fact, when doing your initial inspection, by all means bring [...]

Great.
He’s working on it… doesn’t think it’ll take long — once he has the right parts that is.  At least it looks like he won’t have to take out the wall, and that’s good news, right?
On a sidenote, I’m back to working on the manuals.  Outside of lugging around computers, it’s probably my least favourite [...]

Renter’s insurance at that.  My coverage starts at midnight — hopefully I won’t have a flood, fire, tornado, or worse, Dick drop by before then.  I was going to consider different options, but first of all, PC no longer offers home or auto insurance, and secondly, RBC is covering me for just over $15 a [...]

Told you I’d get one up… eventually.  And I did!  It didn’t even take 2 years. 
Obviously a lot of content is missing, I’m working on it, and I want to add more images to the header, but then I should be good.  Speaking of the header, it seems to cycle through certain ones [...]

…which mostly I think is good news.  I don’t know how to use it, but I’m thinking if the guy who turned him on to it can use it, so could a monkey.  And since I’m at least as smart as a gorilla, and they’re smarter than monkeys, I should be good to go.  [...]

Hot water.  Lots.  In fact, if I put my big bucket under it, I’m sure it could fill it under an hour, maybe even half an hour.  Oh man.
I’d call the assistant super, but I’m thinking since there’s no way they could get a plumber after midnight, not to mention a new washer if that’s [...]

Doing laundry, if you didn’t get that from the title… and I waited and waited and waited to use the washers.  (Half an hour)  They were chatting it up & slow about moving to the dryers, but eventually, I got my stuff in.  So they finish up, I go down, to switch them over.  1 [...]

Came out today (erm, yesturday… just looked at the clock)  But I know most of you aren’t in to him, so I’ll keep my notes short:  I haven’t seen it yet, sadly.  Michelle’s coming down on Friday and we’re going to see it sometime between when she gets here and when she leaves.  (more comments [...]

Skyline has the “opportunity” to lease the lot next to us.  They’re making it into parking.  They’re giving us first dibs.  Of course the spots would come at a premium — we’re offered $100 a month!!!  Which is ridiculous.  Considering you can get a permit for the Baker St. Lot for $70/month, and then just [...]

My cub leader interview is tomorrow.  My references are all typed neatly up, and notified I might add.  (When your references consist of people how’ve known you for a minimum of 15 years, they generally don’t mind if you don’t tell them every time.)  So assuming this goes well, all that needs to be done [...]
