Well, it's Sat am. It's been a long week. I started the new job on Mon, I can't believe we spent a whole day just going over benefits and paperwork. The training woman, Madeline, was very good at explaining things and I'm so glad I will be able to go to any doctor and it won't cost me more than $25. The prescriptions alone will save me mega bucks. The pay is pretty low, but I'll be able to save/invest some of it, and I get one sick and one vaca day per month-awesome. Sitting at the computer learning stuff is ok, I just feel like I can't sit for that long. I really like the Cust Support Dept, I worked w/Karen (from NY too)- she was so friendly and great to ask questions to. The hour break for lunch will be much better when I start at my office on Tues, 3 miles from the house, I could go home for lunch if I wanted to, and do the local errands if needed. There is so much to know, I had no idea it was so involved. I think I'll love meeting people from all over who move here, and being able to help them is so important.
The paver guys showed up on Tues, finally! It took them 3 days to finish because of the rain, it looks good. I was just annoyed about the dust, crooked drain, crooked pavers and the fact that they put the hammock frame and barbecue outside. The salesman is the one that I'm mostly annoyed with, he just told us what we wanted to hear and promised a lot. I really don't like seeing the white rim under the new coping, he said it would be covered. I guess we could drain the pool a little and paint it. I want to paint the outside walls of the lanai the same color as the coping, it's kind of a goldish-tan. I love the pavers outside the back door, the one on the side looks small, but it fits the space. Anyway, the ass was supposed to be here at 9am (so he told B), but it's 10:15 and no show. Typical, I'm so not surprised. B and John are working on the El Camino in the garage, I don't understand putting all that time and energy into it when it's not the car he really wants. He said he'll sell it and get a nice Dart, works for me. I think he likes that car and the fact that it's easier to work on for him and that's a bit of a stress reliever.
Well, stuff to do and places to go....
