New contract

by @ Thursday, April 29th, 2004. Filed under Misc

Latest in the house drama – we got another contract on the house this morning. This one about exactly 24 hours after it went online. Again, full asking price, ($5k more then last week) and again – deferring home inspection. This time our RealEstate agent (he doesn’t really look like Howdy Doodie in real life) [...]

I really didn’t mean all that stuff that I said before the war about how Saddam should Join NATO and then open casinos, turning Iraq into the Las Vegas of the Middle East. It was satire, honestly. Anyway, he didn’t follow my advice and look what happened. Why the sudden paranoia? Link to reason for [...]

Oh! The drama!

The people who signed a contract to buy our house backed out. They were able to do it without penalty since they didn’t pick up the HOA documents until yesterday, and they had three days after document receipt to drop their contract without penalty. So – it goes back on the market tomorrow, for $5k [...]

Horrible long no good very bad day. This entire day was spent on process problems, setting up timeframes, reports, building powerpoints, scheduling meetings, review and comment on strategic positiong, etc. I thought I was a sales engineer – nope, today I was a goddamn product manager. God it sucked. It’s 10:30 and I just finished [...]

At Work With “America’s Most Admired Company”

… So imagine my surprise when someone came into my office today who has a full-time job. She works 40 hours a week at Wal-Mart. Like many of their employees, she can’t afford their health insurance plan. Even if she could, they wouldn’t cover her HIV care because it’s a pre-existing condition. It isn’t even [...]
