30/01: A few things to update
Let's rewind a bit of time here and see what was new in the last few days.
First - Bubbie is back in my hands. I was given a 2009 Dodge Journey ("doooooon't stop belieeeeeve'n") to get from H&H to work and back again. By 1.30pm or so they claimed Bubbie was done, and by 3ish I went to go get her. While the Journey was a nice ride it was no Bubbie.
On arrival I filled out paperwork and there was an ominous discussion regarding the labor getting the new bumper on. It seems that it was "rusted on" and they also had to remove the crappy Uhaul connector (preexisting before I got 'er) to get ot it. Labor was up about 90 bones on that from the original estimate. I shrugged and said okay. I'm not sure if that was some sort of warning that the lady-who-hit-me's insurance might bitch.
Either way I was out looking at the bumper and I tell you Jim from H&H was damn near beaming. The 'used bumper assembly' he got in (with some initial trepidation) was in far better condition than he expected. I congratulated him on the find, his team on the work, and shook his hand. I guess his team probably bitched, pissed, and moaned at the install on Bubbie but clearly it was worth it for the quick turn around and stellar work. Now I just need to find the appropriate 'foo' sticker to slap back on the bumper and all is good.
I went home and got some more work done, and dined on Chipotle's burrito. About 6.30pm I was a bit tired, and decided to take a nap before going to the gym. Meh... I woke up about 3 AM and decided to continue sleeping. 6.30am rolled around and I wandered off to work. Wonderful.
I slunk in to the office in the dark of the morning to wait for my team to show up. Our dbag standup meeting was about thirty minutes long, the last fifteen devoted to Jefe explaining how we are hiring a few more people on and as such people will be doubling up in offices. It took a lot to not roll my eyes. We have hallway space for god sakes! Then I started wondering - what if Meeting? is dropped into my office.. with his body smell, food that has actually gotten bile to rise up in my throat, and incessant crotch scratching. *shudder* I will fight to pull my office spouse Falloutboy in my office, and also to retain my nice view. This blows.
