What are you doing right now?

[severine]

Enjoying the aroma of the pot roast in the crock pot, reading email, then I need to revise a paper and finish my reading up. Don't plan on much else around the house since I have 60 pgs to read and 8 pgs to revise (based on the professor's notes). I'll be lucky if I get a shower in, with all the interruptions from the kids.

Eating pretzals..drinking sugar free red bull..leaving work at 11AM and then going down to Ikea with my Mom..for some apartment shopping..and sweedish meatballs..

 

[Warp Daddy]

Getting ready for a meeting with the accountant that handles my office this AM. Never really sure which way the conversation will go based on all the "accounting mumbo jumbo" that tends to happen.

Atleast I have a charity golf tournament to look forward to this afternoon!

BETTER have a caffeine injection this am Doc

I'm heading out again this am for another 18 -- another glorious fall day !!

 

[severine]

Um... kind of reading Eva Luna for class. I keep going back and forth between that and going online.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Back from Ikea...I bought a bunch of stuff for my new apartment..

 

[Warp Daddy]

Had to quit playing today i am pissed


Didn't tell us they had 2nd , 3rd and 4th holes totally torn up for aerating . Not just the Normal breahter holes for aerating but the WHOLE dam putting surface surface was overturned and looked likea brown pile of turf with no surface , no cup or flag . I had hit some really good stuff till that was feeling like it might be a day in the ZONE

WE all went back and got our $$$ back but damn it was such a nice day

No other good courses were near enough to make it worthwhile so we bagged it

Not familiar with that work but just get thru it----- don't overvalued it --just focus and it'll get done

I know it isn't easy at times juggling family , school work and being super mom but you can do it -- Maybe a study group could be a good idea if there are others you feel comfortable with and then you can team it out --just a thought

dealling with achitects calling me up saying they need 4 52"lcds on site tomorrow. i love how they think i can just pull this stuff out my ass. the thing that really sucks is i can do it. so they always wait till the last second.

Maybe you can arrange for a couple to fall off the truck near my house? Kill two birds with one stone. They won't ask you last minute any more, and I'll have two new TV's. It's a win win.

2 words my friend... Rush Charge

Make them pay for it... 50% more for 48hr notice or less. Might as well make it worth your added stress and effort.

that will work one time. then the client will go else wherefor equipment. there is always someone new looking to underbid you. i will get like another 8 to 10 jobs this year out of the contractor(first one i am doing for him and i have saved his ass 3 times) so the volume of work makes up for it. just sucks when i am preping for a show and i get calls at the endof the day but its the nature of the biz. i now basically provide for two of the four contractors that build 90% of the clubs/resturants/lounges in nyc.

I often have customers who wait 11.5 months to order a tombstone for a loved one and want it completed and installed within 2 weeks for the anniversery of their death..right now out turn-around time is 2+ months and when I tell that to the customer their in shock..why should we have to rush because they were procrastinators..

 

[Moe Ghoul]

Back from NYC, its nice to go away, but it's nice to come home. Spent too much money last night, but we had fun. Watching the MOAB (Mother of all Bailouts) hearings now. Paulson and Bernanke's lips have been moving for a few hours and they still haven't said anything. Kinda like college economics majors that didn't bone up for an oral exam. If we gave answers like that, we'd get an "F", lol. Gotta laugh or else I'd cry.

It started with a coupla Grey Geese on the rox, a bottle of wine for dinner at Remi's, a coupla grappas after dinner, and then we staggered over to Uncle Jack's Steakhouse's bar until about 11. I was pounding single malts.

It's not terrible. It's by a Chilean author and translated into English. The hard part is that it consists mainly of very long, very complex paragraphs. Not an easy, quick read. 15 pgs to go.

Right now, printing my paper revision & feeding the kids a snack. We had to go out to get more oat milk (the little guy cannot tolerate cow's milk and we were all out of the oatie stuff) so I lost a good hour of the afternoon to schlepping them around.

Roast is smelling delicious. Can't wait to cut into it in 1 hr!

Good point.

I had it in my head that this was a big project and they just wanted a last minute add that was a small part of the overall picture... If that were the case, the rush charge wouldn't change the overall picture much, but when it's a large part of the overall cost (or all of it) it certainly changes the game big time.

if it where some random person they would get smacked with a charge but i do hundreds of thousands of dollars of biz with them. so this just becomes on tick in my favor

Back from the bar..I had some drinks and now just chilling in front of the computer..I still have like 140 unread threads on here to catch up on..JEA!!!!
