Just a quickie

Well some good news today. YeeHaw! Especially after yesterdays post. First the *sun tunnels were installed with only one phone call from the husband. This call went on in the middle of a work problem that was quickly becoming a crisis.
* Sun Tunnels = Plexiglass bubbles on outside of roof with tubing (like a big dryer tube) is placed at the beginning and end and another flat piece of frosted plexiglass in the room that you want it in. allows natural light with no leaks (like skylights) and no heat since its all done with light reflection in the tube. totally cool and gives a lot of light even on a cloudy day in an other wise dark room. Pics coming soon.

Husband: Honey, they can only put one tunnel where you wanted.
Me: Why?
Husband: Because they didn't come with the flex tubing its straight pipe and the other will have to go thru both roofs.
Me: Tell them to go buy flex tubing & put them where I wanted that's what I paid for.
Husband: They can't do that, tell me where you want them to stick the 2nd tunnel.
Me: I love you and this is a bad time, I know exactly where you guys can stick the tunnel. But, Its' not fair to you for me to be ugly so you are there you figure it out and remember I will be home soon.
Husband: Uh, OK Love you and thank you for not being ugly. Click

The tunnel is where I wanted, it took them just a little longer but its' amazing what a small threat like "I'll be home soon" will get accomplished without being ugly. LOL

On the other side, my bosses wife came back from lunch today and said that after they left she started thinking about what I said about bi-polar getting her raise and me being the "last one out". Well, she realized that everyone else's raise came in the first 6 months of the year and I was the only one who hadn't gotten a raise this year so that was unfair and they are giving me my raise. YEEHAW!!!
With the raise if they cut our office hours it will hurt but it will not be devastating. Which without the raise, it was going to be devastating. That was one of the things that was kinda rocking my world and causing me to be up most of the night. With construction being the way it is here in Sunny Florida right now the possibility of a 3 day work week can be ugly on the money side. We can make it, just prepping for it now. Of course all this has come about right in the middle of spending money for "home improvements". Isn't life grand?
But, Que sera sera I feel much better now. LOL Must be the Vodka & grapefruit juice.
