Cell-Less Gig
Posted to Miscellaneous category
This has been a hectic week.
Monday morning I verified the landscaping contract.
Late Monday afternoon I learned that I was starting a new gig on Wednesday, at a work site where cell phones are forbidden.
Tuesday I had a plumber check my water softener, which had been misbehaving, and learned that 24 years of my horrible well water had actually corroded the brass valves. The plumber went away to investigate options.
Also on Tuesday, I had lunch with my business partners and a real estate agent: our office lease is up in October and we need to decide what to do about it.
Wednesday I started the new gig. In the secure building with no cell phones allowed. I contacted the plumber and landscape guy, since the numbers I had given them would no longer work during working hours.
Thursday evening we had a meeting of CRUG, the Colorado Rational Users' Group, which our company sponsors.
Friday, the plumber came back and installed a new water softener. I also got in touch with the landscaper: his projects are running behind -- probably due to the violent weather we have had amost every day lately -- and the work on my retaining walls is now tentatively scheduled to start on Monday July 6.
Saturday I worked the farmers' market, and the weather, for a change, was beautiful.
Today I'm cleaning everything in the utensil drawers that the mice invaded while I was in Mobile: I need to use enough hot water to clear the untreated water out of the hot water heater before I try to do any laundry. There is so much iron in the untreated water that my clothes will be ruined if I use it to wash them.
