Kitchen Part 2

Apparently Picassa limits you to 4 pictues... bah!


Anyhow, the final results of the work!










Let's see how long it stays this neat :-P

Kitchen!!!

One of the few pictures I actually took before. This was actually to show off the curtains, but it was white, with a lot of repair spots on the walls.




Work in Progress. The first coat is up, and the stove is actually moved!


First coat on the other wall.


The temporary Kitchen, in the corner of the dining room :-P

What Altima?

Here it is! All shiney, and new!
Well... it wont' stay that way for long!

It's a 2007 Toyota RAV4 - with only 7000 miles on it :-D I think that was the biggest seller for me :-) Of course, more room, higher up, and the roofracks are nice too :-)

I must say, it's a bit bigger than I'm used to driving! I'm getting used to it, but it's kinda a weird feeling to be sitting up this high :-)

Good Deeds

If you do a good deed, and then an event happens, which results in negating that good deed – does it count?

 

I was in the grocery store last night, it was about 10:15 (yes, I was grocery shopping at 10:15 PM), had just gotten into the 1 open line, when 2 guys came up behind me with a 6-pack and a bottle of wine.  Since I had a full cart of groceries, I was nice, and asked if they would like to go before me, since they had 2 items.  They graciously accepted, and we went back to waiting for the 2 other people to make it through the line.  At this time, another lady had pushed her cart up behind mine.  The supervisor on duty at that time made the call to open another line.  The new cashier looked at me and said “Ma’am, I can take you here”  So I went over to that line.  Now, I am much farther ahead than the two guys I let go in front of me, but not because I was trying to be rude.

 

Oh well – at the same point, the two guys got done paying about the same time as I did….

 

And if anyone would like to go and hide under the covers until the world straightens itself out – I’d be more than happy for the company.  There have been way too many deaths and illnesses in the past week.

*sigh*

Note to self… remove signature before sending post.  I’ll have to remove that later I guess…

 

And it's not even 11 yet...

I can't work… I have to, since I'm here – but we're all in a general shock. One of our 3^rd shift operators passed away unexpectedly last night. I found out when an operator called me this morning on my way into work, but some knew last night, and had a hard time sleeping because of it. I just sit here, looking at the computer screen, and my mind starts wandering.

It's just the shock of it – He was on 3^rd shift, so I rarely saw him, except for the two weeks that I was training him on the new machines. Most recently, last week. He was working 12 hour shifts for that training, coming in at 2AM and staying until 2pm. Something makes me wonder if that was just too much for him, but that's me trying to put blame somewhere. You always want to have someone/something to blame when you lose someone, the idea of their time being up, is a much harder concept to grasp.

As hard as it is to grasp, I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason – even if you can't see that reason right away, or ever see that reason.

<4 hours later>

Well, the initial shock has worn off, sort of. I still don't want to work, but now it's because I want to go get my new car :-D A nice shiny 2007 Toyota RAV4 with only 7000 miles on it! So, it doesn't have all the options my MIL's does, like the sunroof, and the 6 CD changer system, and such – but I don't really need those. What I do need to go get, is a cable so I can plug my ipod in :-D

Will post pictures later :-)

My Father-In-Law is a celebrity!
