I installed a video forwarded for Minolia today. It allows her to look at the cameras on her TV instead of always using her computer.
Also we are heading out tomorrow hope it goes well.

I put in my hours at work but needed to finish a paper that is due in the morning. I had to put in an additional 2.5 hours to get it done. Kind of a long day, kinda like the foundry days. Left around 430 am got home as usual at about 6pm then polished off the pages in another two to three hours.
I just played a game for about an hour and now I need to get to bed. I have a meeting in the morning about the paper.

There is only one thing that can be said. And that is Nooooo. It is great that we received rain and the ponds are full, but at the cost of hours and hours of rework. The foundation forming has to be redone as the pack and formation of the footings have eroded to the point you news to almost start over. It is unfortunate and will set us back even further than we are already. 🙁
All will be fine in time, but right now frustration is tipping the scales.
Good night. We will see if it get better this weekend.
At least we have full ponds and a shitload of frogs out there making themselves known.

Was a quicker day today. I did get my office organized and gave a data classification presentation, but those are the highlights.

Hmmmm. I am not really sure what to call it. Frustration or whatever you want to name it.
Well this is the situation we created. We had a house that we lived in. We have a decent place that we rent to my aunt. We even have a nice place to far away for us to live. Yet here we are skimping and living in the attic. It was fine when it was just a few months, but it has already been 16 months and we can feel it taking its toll. Everything is suffering from work to home and even our sanity at times. We are wondering if the house will turn out as planned or if it will be yet another mental and financial break.

Not really sure if there is anything that can be done, but to wait it out and hope for the best. Unfortunately that is what we have been doing.

The builder told us today that he hopes to be working the walls by the end of the month.
Hey! Wake up, the slab still is not even down and more rain on the way.

I hope we start to see a little more forward movement as it may help to sooth our minds enough to make it through this.
Then to add to the shit, I was tasked with giving 3 data classification presentations this week.
Yay for me. I sure wish they would have given me a promotion or pay raise in the last years! I am not sure what that has to do with anything, but I am angry about that also.
While I am at it I might as well bitch about being removed from teams lead in 2007, loss of Inky and Al in 2008, loss of Truman in 2009, loss of cracker in Feb of 2010, loss if Susan's Mom in Apr 2010, loss of Bean in Jun 2010, loss of our house in 2011 and now the pushing us to the edge in 2012. We sure hope the bad streak is over and 2013 is a terrific year full of good happenings and not just full of lost hope.

I hope this venting helps at least a little bit or at least enough to get me to the weekend.
