Injum's Wednesday

Painting Project continues... Day 3

So at this point everything that needed to be painted in our office building has been painted. The only problem, the painters pooped out today. I must say I saw this coming. So now we're left with painted walls, most could use a second coat, and the painters are so tired out from going full steam ahead on the project that they've decided to stop until next week or so... blah I guess this nightmare will continue.

In good news: Injum Jim may have found himself a new tipi for rent. Okay so heres how the story goes. My brother has 2 friends, Friend A is moving to a family farm house in the country and so Friend B is moving in to Friend A's house, leaving Friend B's house available. From the outside it looks pretty nice. It's a two story house on a corner lot with a 2 car garage. I can see it has patio doors and it looks nice. The guy who owns the place is a local bank big-wig so I assume it should be have been kept up inside. If I can swing getting the place, I could possibly move in mide June to early July.

In MORE good news (that's right it gets better for me): My apartment lease in Vermillion is finally FINISHED. My lease went until May 31. I moved out at the end of November. So it's been up for sublease since December and sat vacant (and sucking $650) out of me until April. April 3 a gal sublet it from me and the real estate agency said for the remainder of my lease so I figured okay that takes me off the hook for April and May - better than nothing I thought. SO May 15 rolls around, no news is good news on the apartment - I get a call from the real estate people. I guess the gal who sublet my apartment skipped out at the end of April, turned in the keys and left town. Now they wanted me to pay half to the whole months rent for May. BULLSHIT! I pulled the I need to talk to my lawyer card and they quickly said "well we will try to get it out of her then, we'll be sending your deposit back to you shortly" So I haven't heard anything yet but I also haven't gotten my deposit back either so we will see how that goes.

Back to the war-path...

Blah Mondays & Tuesdays

Okay, Jim here... (sorta)

So Sunday we got a pretty good storm that came through town. Our office is perpetually experiencing water leaking issues. Needless to say, half of our office carpet was soaked with water, water was standing in the low areas on the carpet. I was pissed. So Monday morning I managed to get my hands on this huge commerical grade Shop-Vac and managed to suck up most of the water in the carpets. We were going to paint so all our furnature had been moved in the middle of the room. So after that disaster, we started painting which had its own little mini disasters.

We got our main office room done yesterday, it looks decent. Now today they're painting the hallways (again alot of mini-disasters such as oh, say spilling paint on the carpet... yea). So things are starting to get somewhat back to normal right now. You know how they say when dogs get upset when their routine or environment has changed? thats me right now I'd say. I'm irratable and on have been slightly snippy. I'm wanting to travel to the other offices and drop in on the rest of the staff just to get away from here. You get two particular people in a room, each with their own idea of how the room should look and then try to force a compromise. I must admit though, I won ;-) So now our "painters" are getting tired of painting while they're the ones who are the reason why we're painting in the first place. They were so freaking out about painting that I finally thought " ah what the hell, if it keeps them busy and off my back then I'm set". Guess I was wrong. More to come...

Later, Injum
