Duct to Nowhere

Today I went to work a little late. The networks were down yesterday. So I tried to wait until I could confirm they were working today. As soon as I got to work, Momoko called me with some bad news.

The new dryer delivery guy brought the dryer into the basement. But he did not connect the duct to vent the steam to the outside. His ducting was too short. What a fail. I was unhappy because I had to pay for the ducting, and had paid for the guy to do the isntall.

I thought I would have to come home and deal with all this mess. Momoko later decided to try to solve the problem herself. She called the sales guy and complained. Now they say they will return to make the install right. It is the least they can do.

New Arrivals

I stayed home today. Momoko had a new iPad being delivered. And we can have the delivery guy leave that on the front step. The delivery truck came around lunch time. Luckily I did not go out for lunch.

I worked a really long day from home today. Little Kat and Momoko stayed lare at school. I was still working when they came home. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted Little Kat carrying in a bish fish tank looking cage. It had three active gerbils in it.

Little Kat gave them some paper towels cardboard rolls. Two out of the three gerbils were going to town playing with the rolls, and chewing them up.

They third gerbil was a bit sluggish. I thought she might be ill. No. She was just a bit tired. Later on she went crazy cleaning one of the other gerbils. Then she was busy creating a bed in their cage.

Weekend Start

This morning I woke up and called Momoko. She needed a freezer and fridge delivered to her work. And I am the guy with the pickup truck. Before work I headed over there to make the delivery. Momoko told me I could park in the reserved spot at her work. Then I was off to my own work.

I was planning an early departure from work. Of course the customer came calling in the afternoon. I called my team leader. He got the boss on the phone. We were supposed to talk about the customer problems. However the boss wanted to spend a lot of time talking about the whole team's work.

Well I excused myself from that conversation and hauled out of work. I went to the theater to meet Momoko and the children. They were nowhere to be found. I called them up, and they were on the way. We say The Vampire's Assistant. Good stuff. Now Kit Kat is off with her friends at a pre-Halloween party. Time for Little Kat to fry us up some dinner.

Hurry up and Wait

Normally I sleep in on the weekends. This weekend was different. The store was scheduled to deliver and assemble our NordicTrack elliptical exercise machine. They were supposed to come in the morning. So I got up early.

It was afternoon before the delivery cats called. They asked if we could reschedule the delivery. I told them that was just not possible. They arrived later that afternoon. It was some heavy equipment. I knew I made the right choice having the store deliver it.

Mamma Kat talked me into trying the machine. After 5 or 10 minutes, I felt like my legs were gonna fall off. This was on the easiest setting. Now I am still sore. Little Kat seems to have no problem using the machine for long periods at a time.
