Friday post

Halleleujah, it's Friday!   This has felt like a lo-o-oooong week and I'm ready for a three-day weekend.

I still have heard nothing from The Company's HR Department regarding being offered a direct position.   Everyone I have spoken to forewarned me to expect a long, unpredictable wait.  Looks like their predictions may be accurate.

S and I met with our builder on Tuesday night.  Other than a few odds and ends, he's pretty well wrapped up the remodeling of the front of our pied-a-terre.  It looks fabulous!  It really does ... better than I could have imagined or anticipated.  The building inspector came by yesterday (Thursday) and put his stamp of approval on it, as well.  We'll probably need to pay Paul his last draw here within the week.

Wednesday afternoon, Paul's best buddy, Tim, came by and picked up all the scrap metal left from the remodeling.  He was going to take it to a recycling place and hopefully get $100-200 for the lot of it.  Tim is unemployed, struggling to make ends meet and we appreciated all his help on the project.  I was happy he was willing to haul it all off and also happy to see our driveway, clear and open again.

I'm going to post this now and hopefully I can post again before the day is done!
