The maintenance people came back today. He got there while I was in the shower. Of course! Luckily I figured something like that would happen (being my luck) so before I took my shower I unchained the front door and I made sure the bathroom door was shut and locked and I took my robe in the bathroom with me.
This is just the way things happen...It was funny though. The guy came and left to go get something before I was dressed. So when he came back he was all embarassed that he hadn't knocked. He hadn't even realized I was in the house the first time he was there! But he fixed the pipe so that it no longer leaks. And I was able to leave the door chained since he had already come and gone. Yay! Now all I have to do is get through the rest of my workday and I get my 5 day weekend. Woo-Hoo!
Talk to you later!
Question of the day: Has maintenance (or anyone else) ever walked in on you when you were in the shower?
I used to work for a property management company and some of the properties we managed were being sold. So I was taking the buyer around so he could inspect the properties. Well, at one of the places he walked in on one of the residents in her bathroom. She had just gotten out of the shower. He was so embarrassed. Both residents (the woman and her boyfriend) thought it was funny. But the buyer turned so red! I was laughing my ass off!

5 day weekend and other misc ramblings
Woo Hoo! I only have to work 2 days this week. I have a 5 DAY WEEKEND! Yay!!!! I'm really looking forward to the time off. 3 days of paid time off without using any of my personal PTO. It's always great to be lazy on the company dime! ;)
A couple weeks ago my work made me upgrade to Windows Vista. So far so good. I've had a couple problems but they've been resolved. Most were caused by programs we use here not being fully compatible yet. By default I'm doing a lot of beta testing both for my company's products and the products we use (our network, etc...) I've been pleasantly surprised so far. Here's hoping it will stay that way. Before I upgraded I'd heard some bad things but I'm reserving judgement for now.
I called my landlord Saturday to report my sump pump pipe leaking. My sump pump works, but the pipe leaks which results in about half the water that it pumps ending up on my basement floor. Luckily, the room with the pump in it is plain cement so it's not ruining any carpet. My landlord is not the best about fixing things quickly...or even at all sometimes. So, of course, the one time they work quickly, I forgot to leave the chain off the front door. Isn't that always the way it works. They couldn't get in and I got a phone call...Now I have to remember to leave the door unchained tomorrow and hopefully they'll be able to come back out. I don't like leaving it unchained, and I don't really like them being there without me. I guess I don't really have much of a choice this time. I'll probably end up going home on lunch to check on the house...Tonight I'll leave them a note explaining what I'm talking about. Hopefully they'll get it fixed.
I went to go see my kitten yesterday. One of these times I'll remember to take a picture... She is now 2 weeks old and her eyes are open. She's so cute! She's a calico that I have decided to name Sascha. I will be calling her Saucy. She should be ready to come home around mid-August. Then the fun really begins. I get to introduce Saucy to Bogie. It'll be okay after they get adjusted but I'm sure it will be interesting until then.
I found out Saturday night that my aunt and uncle from PA will be in town starting tomorrow night. It will be nice to see them. The last time they were in town was 4 or 5 years ago. They'll be here about a week, so I'm happy about that.
I also got the result of one of my blood tests. Evidently, I'm very vitamin D deficient. I have another Dr appt next week and he'll probably start me on supplements. Guess we'll see how it goes. Ok, I guess that's it for now.
Question of the day: What are your plans over the 4th? The only plans I have are for Sunday. Food at my place and then some friends and I are going to go see Transformers. It looks good. Hopefully we won't be disappointed.
