What are you all doing?

Re: This place is

  • Working here. 

    Also, going crazy with the costs I'm seeing for these two cycles. Even with insurance we're over $2000 OOP which is more than the RE's office estimated. So, yay being poor!

  • @islandmonkey8 Sorry about the RE bill. :-( It stings receiving those no matter what.  Whether you have coverage or not.

     

    Just working here too.  I have a horrible cold, and this is what my desk looks like today.

  • I think we need to come up with new weekly questions. Like we used to have TMI Tuesday but that ended and not many people liked to participate anyway. We need discussions starters for Monday & Tuesday.

    I'm sulking today and taking it out on everyone around me. At some point I will get up and get milk so I can make myself coffee.

  • I'm working - trying to catch up for taking yesterday afternoon off.  We met with the agent who is going to help us list our house (although we are doing for sale by owner) and took all the photos etc. 

    And FWP, the lightbulb on my day light lamp on my desk went out. And now it feels really depressing in my cube because I am no where near a window and even if I were, it's grey outside anyway.  I may walk at lunch to try and find a lightbulb, but its a speciality bulb so my chances of success are slim.  I really shouldn't complain because that bulb has logged about 30hrs a week for three years but still.

  • I've felt the same.  It's made me kind of sad...

    I'm pretending to work here.  I'm in that limbo stage where I'm waiting for someone to review my report with nothing that I know of coming down the pipe.  :-(  I'll probably end up cleaning my desk (because, let's face it, it's a disaster).

  • Working here too... boo. And trying not to stress over this house.  I'm really getting annoyed at the amount of money we're spending on inspections and estimates.  We thought the house was in really good shape but it's not looking like that's the case.  I'm particularly annoyed that the home inspector recommended we get the sewer line checked out and referred us to someone.  $130 later, it needs work but this guy doesn't do it! (So basically he tells people they have a problem but doesn't have to fix it; I want that job!) So now we need to spend even more money to have someone who CAN fix it come give an estimate. Trying to stay positive... we really want/need this house!
