evile: hi! How was your trip?
SkyeDS: it wasn't.
SkyeDS: the engine gave us a transmission code
SkyeDS: so we didn't go
evile: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that
SkyeDS: and now they're saying, after they told us NOT to drive on
it, that they can't get the code to come back, so there must not be
anything wrong
evile: that's very frustrating.
evile: I was assuming that Sineater would have called me re: thursday if
he'd been in town to do so. Oh well.
SkyeDS: he has been on the phone all day today putting out fires
SkyeDS: or he would have
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: they're threatening him with loss of his job if he doesn't go
to New Hampshire to work for four weeks
SkyeDS: and they're screwing him around with t he details of that
SkyeDS: and then there's the trailer problem. in addition to the
truck problem.
evile: It would be unpleasant, but I'm sure it could be done...
SkyeDS: telling him he'd get $35 an hour to get him to go, and then
paying him $22, is a deal breaker.
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: wanting him to drive a standard truck with one arm in a cast,
t hat has nearly 200K on it to NH is a deal breaker.
evile: they're not flying him?!? NO way!
SkyeDS: zactly
SkyeDS: and they're threatning to cut him off insurance before his
surgery is done, if he doesn't go, regardless of whatever dicking
around they do with terms
evile: that's awful!!
SkyeDS: ya and that's one of three fires of equal size
SkyeDS: so things are a little stressful atm.
evile: sounds like. *hugs* Sorry to hear it.
SkyeDS: my irrational way of dealing when I am too overwhelmed to be
rational anymore is to start shooting people in face w bazooka.
evile: I certainly know that feeling.
SkyeDS: in t he meanwhile as depressed as we both are, I'm going to
keep shooting one ant at a time
SkyeDS: one of the
SkyeDS: millions will eventually kill me
SkyeDS: but it won't be the one I just shot
evile: :nod
SkyeDS: how go things in the real, normal world?
evile: which world would that be?
SkyeDS: I thought you probably knew more about it than me LOL
evile: um...buncha dead people half way round the world.
SkyeDS: ya, noticed that
evile: closer to home, D. is going to have induced C section on the
27th (Josephine's Bday, too!) unless baby Ian decides to come sooner.
evile: the GWNN munch was good.
evile: GWNN party next weekend.
SkyeDS: :)
evile: Sweetie is fixing the clothes washer & installed a new kitchen
faucet this weekend.
evile: Niki and I saw a BAD play on Friday. I told her I'm picking
the next one.
SkyeDS: is Sweetie an experienced type plumber?
evile: He has a time life book.
evile: and tools.
evile: spent a lot of time cussing.
evile: so I don't know about 'experienced'....but so far the house is
still standing.
SkyeDS: ...does the stuff work now...? lol
evile: still getting a part for the washer. The sink is fine.
SkyeDS: :D
evile: we'd been doing wash with just cold water for a couple weeks
now...the valve for the hot was leaking so he turned it off.
SkyeDS: Sineater wants to know if he can borrow Sweetie's time life book
evile: it's Sweetie's...and he's still in the middle of repairs, so I'd
have to say 'ask Sweetie'
SkyeDS: ok doke :)
evile: alot of married people do the "what's mine is mine and what's
his is mine" (quote from Aunt L)...but since we aren't married, and I
wouldn't wnat Sweetie taking those liberties with my stuff, I don't take
those kind of liberties with his.
SkyeDS: I'm not sure Sineater's intent was for you to do that, it may
have been for you to ask Sweetie, but I think it's a better idea for him
t o ask Sweetie without us :)
evile: *nodnod*
evile: If not, I'd be happy to try and check out a library book for
Sineater to use.
SkyeDS: I looked into getting a card when we lived just outside the
city limits
SkyeDS: they wanted $35 a year for it and I was like, uh, n o
evile: yup
SkyeDS: I like the title of "evil henchman," it's cute
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: Sineater says that "minion" would be a promotion
evile: *lol*
SkyeDS: he probably bought that one in one of their many series
SkyeDS: maybe I could find him a single one at a bookstore on line or
otherwise
evile: half price books usually has a pretty good selection in that
section
SkyeDS: there's a plumbing for dummies LOL (I think there's an
(insert anything here) for dummies)
evile: most terrifying thing I've ever seen: Voodoo for dummies
SkyeDS: omfg no
evile: yup
SkyeDS: voodoo for dummies = wicca
SkyeDS: j/k
evile: *laff*
SkyeDS: that was bad of me, please don't repeat it.
evile: nah
evile: You get what you put into stuff, esp. when it comes to
spiritual practice.
SkyeDS: that was just bad of me to say. that's not true of all of
them. I have friends it isn't true of.
evile: I imagine if you're too lazy to do real research and real
work, nothing is going to work for you..that or the Loa will eat your
head.
SkyeDS: my friend the priest gave me his Oya beads
SkyeDS: apparently She told him to do so, with instructions on what
it means to have been adopted by Her (I was and still am clueless)
evile: hm.
evile: Well, it's 4. I gotta shake a leg here.
SkyeDS: wind to your wings :)
evile: hope everything works out!
