evile: hi! How was your weekend?
SkyeDS: spent the entire weekend repairing trailer
SkyeDS: ripped out wall to find months of black mold
evile: *nod* it did sound like a serious task.
SkyeDS: looked for leak, and there wasn't one
evile: bizarre!
SkyeDS: someone loosened the shower head.
SkyeDS: all the lightbulbs have to be replaced, the carpet may still
h ave to be replaced after cleaning if it doesn't all come clean,
there's cigarette smoke on the ceiling, the air conditioner was NEVER
cleaned (months worth)
SkyeDS: there are stains on the stove that refuse to come up
evile: yuck.
SkyeDS: and a bottle of cat/dog flea/tick shampoo
SkyeDS: and food left in the fridge, more than a month, no electricity
SkyeDS: this weekend wasn't really happy making
evile: ew.
SkyeDS: however, we did go to Central market for dinner Saturday
night, where there was a New Orleans jazz band (like the asylum
street spankers)
SkyeDS: so that was happy making
SkyeDS: and home depot is generally fun
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: cool stuffs in HD
evile: I always spend more time than I intended when I go to Home
Depot
SkyeDS: nods. time and money both, especially when every single
employee there wants quality time with Arthur
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: nevermind the no pets sign on the front door
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: which came about I believe because of someone's german
shepherd or other large dog attacking a 9 yo black girl or similar
evile: ew
SkyeDS: why media insisted on including "black" in there....
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: what did you do this weekend? was pretty, if cold
evile: yoga and brunch with e. saturday a.m., beer with Rengeek
Saturday afternoon, apartment(s) warming party at Pace's & Erinlefey &
tangentsferret's Saturday night, and bull creek park with Nikiyoy and thewordnerd on
sunday
SkyeDS: rengeek <grin>
evile: He drove up from San Antonio, and his friend drove down from
Houston, and they met in Austin to tour the various brewpubs around
town.
SkyeDS: they call Austin/Waco/College Station the Triangle
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: seems to me DFW Houston San Antonio also = a triangle
evile: yup
evile: Everybody wussed out of PNO classic last night.
SkyeDS: wonder why :(
evile: It may be that we just got there too early for pagan standard
time.
SkyeDS: we would have gone but was too cold to be outside with the
boy, and we didn't really have time to visit, we had to eat and get
to HD before 7 pm
SkyeDS: the girly beasties have been fascinated with Sineater's cast,
might be something about the way it smelled (it came off today)
evile: turned out onyxlynxx was tired and Maggiemaepisces wasn't interested in the
pagan-ness much, but just wanted to catch up with Kirby. So turns out
they didn't come at all. Rifka and Roy are chronically late, so I
guess we probably left before we got there.
SkyeDS: PST = pagan standard time. MST = musician standard time.
(kissing cousins).
evile: Terriblelynne probably didnt' get a ride, or else her ride was rifka.
And I'm peeved at Terriblelynne, ANYWAY, because she made such a big stink
about coming to Monday craft night
evile: Maggiemaepisces was going to give us a lesson in leather-braiding, to do
flogger-handles, and when Terrblelynne found out, she pitched a fit because
she has abuse issues and whips trigger her, bla bla, so M changed
the plan, to playing Scrabble and having soup instead...
evile: And then Terri goes "oh, gee, I made plans with someone else,
so I won't be there!"
evile: Telling us this on Monday fricken morning, w hen we could
have spent the weekend shopping at tandy and getting supplies ready
if we had known she wasn't going to be there, after all.
SkyeDS: :(
evile: It could just be miscommunication, and not attention-grabbing
PITA behavior...I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt, but
she's been kind of a PITA about the last couple of Monday night gal-
gatherings, so it's hard not to see a pattern and get annoyed.
SkyeDS: brb
evile: ok
SkyeDS: bk
evile: rehi :)
SkyeDS: Sineater came by between doctor and interview to eat lunch
evile: how's he feeling?
SkyeDS: doctor said he was doing good
SkyeDS: cast gone, splint on
evile: awesome.
SkyeDS: exercises (specifity of which I have not yet learned) but
otherwise splint stays on 23 out of 24
evile: good.
SkyeDS: (/specificity)
SkyeDS: Ajilon is upset because I refuse to put him on a plane until
I see a Letter Of Offer or Contract with per diem details
SkyeDS: they gave him an email
SkyeDS: huh uh no. that has no ink on the bottom of it. I want ink.
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: I've had one ok experience on an out of state contract and
one hideously bad one
SkyeDS: I learn from experience (as much as it may appear otherwise)
evile: it's definitely a good idea to make it as official as possible
before committing to that kindof time/distance.
SkyeDS: he hasn't got the funds to pay for room board and
transportation for a week before his first paycheck arrives with
perdiem attached
evile: exactly.
SkyeDS: and 5 day perdiem isn't going to cut it
SkyeDS: when he has to pay for hotel and car 7 days
evile: *nod* because he can't just come home on the weekends.
SkyeDS: they seem to have a problem understanding that
evile: bizarre.
SkyeDS: so I told him, we're going to kill one bug at a time
SkyeDS: you're going to go to the doctor, and nothing else is going
to be in head, but doctor
SkyeDS: no interview, no ajilon
SkyeDS: then we're going to have a pleasant lunch, and discuss the
doctor
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: then you're going to go to interview, and be thinking nothing
but knocking interview dead
evile: good plan.
SkyeDS: then you're going to come back and at least put notes for a
ty ltr in a text file
SkyeDS: then we'll call ajilon
evile: sounds good.
SkyeDS: see if they'll fax a LOO/K over here, if not, we'll go over
there
SkyeDS: I should have worn court clothes :(
evile: Oh well...
SkyeDS: he'll worry about everything at once if left to his own
devices
evile: yup. it's easy to get overwhelmed.
SkyeDS: and nobody can function that way. we would all get depressed
and want to die.
evile: yup
SkyeDS: apparently there was some bleeding but dr says is normal, and
that he didn't see any evidence of Sineater doing what he should not have.
evile: owies.
SkyeDS: maybe we'll get lucky and rubber_pig will sprout in March while
we're at Gulf War.
SkyeDS: nobody can drag us into squat if we're in Miss.
evile: week of Feb 21 is what I've been hearing.
SkyeDS: oh. E told me March. damn.
SkyeDS: well, they'll just have to be satisfied with me, because it's
somewhat likely he'll be out of state then.
evile: Well, as you may know, you can't believe one fricken thing
that comes of that woman's mouth, so who knows when she's actually
due.
evile: I'm not going, period. I dont' care when it is.
SkyeDS: "I had a premie, weighed 9 pounds" lol
evile: *shrug* whatever. I don't like babies.
SkyeDS: I don't think Sineater wanted to go. But I suspect that there
will be much sturm and drang even for those of us who don't go. But
can't drag us into sturm and drang if he's in NH or we're both in
Miss. :)
evile: D's having hers on Thursday, and flights to Atlanta are down
to $153.
SkyeDS: ye gointer go Miz Scahlett?
evile: I think I'll wait and talk to her on the phone this weekend to
see how soon she'll want to see anybody.
SkyeDS: good idea
SkyeDS: <grin> if it's a girl she could name her "evile" or "eek"
SkyeDS: <runs>
evile: nope, they already know it's a boy.
SkyeDS: evile could be short for evil Sineater :P
evile: Ian John.
evile: (they already call Josephine "phene" or "fiend" depending :P)
evile: I am *very* ready to call it a day. They sprayed for bugs in
the office on Saturday and now all these bugs are coming out to
die...I've seen 2 small roaches on my desk today, not quite dead but
kind of wandering around all poisoned and such...and I am about to
run screaming. I am going to wash with HOT water when I get home.
evile: The reason they are coming to my cube, I think, is that the
coffee machine, supplies, snackies, and such are in a cube which
shares a wall with me. I am beyond grossed out over here.

evile: *giggles* I just told onyxlynxx that Scrabble sets off some of my
childhood issues.
SkyeDS: lol
evile: I'm almost too tired to go...but I do have a craft project in
mind, so I should go.
SkyeDS: is being somewhat vegetative and going an option?
evile: maybe.
SkyeDS: a physically vegetative state is not incompatible with the
planning stages of a project
evile: *shrug* I can sit at work and plan all day, not really
anything I'd want to do in company
SkyeDS: suit yourself, I say.
evile: yup
evile: I guess I'll see how I feel when I get home.
SkyeDS: good idea
evile: I want to see my friends, but I don't want to play
Scrabble,and since I do have a project in mind, I want to work on
that. If it turns out I can get it done better/easier at home, then I
will.
SkyeDS: nobody has invited me to play Scrabble since the last time I
played "ziti" on a triple word score
evile: i hate scrabble. I really, really do.
evile: Despite the fact that I have a degree in English and a pretty
nifty vocabulary, the Nanny factor or soemthing else just prevents
me from assembling any kind of language from the jumble of consonants
before me.
SkyeDS: my faith involves the practice of magic. I have no desire to
throw spellballs around an HFS park though.
evile: heh.
evile: well, it's 4. Time for me to scoot.
SkyeDS: wind to your wings :)
evile: *hugs*

SkyeDS: :D
