I am the worst
I tip easily and well with food and drink but anything else I forget to do it. Hotel maids? Maybe 40% of the time. Handymen? Uh....and by the time it occurred to me he was already pulling out of the drive. Sir, I am so sorry. I'm broken. (also I don't keep much cash in the house) I did okay your overtime though so there's that. Jesus.
But he did get here. It took him over 2 hours to get this thing built (pictures tomorrow) It looks good, it's big, the poor guy didn't get paid shit for this job, probably lost money (especially someone is a fucking moron about tipping) Out of the 90$ I paid Angi's list for this job he gets 20$/hr.
Rocket wouldn't leave him alone. I had to sit on the couch with Rocket to make him stop trying to convince this man to be friends forever.
It's been an exhausting day. In no particularly order:
1. tv stand is now a tv stand and I lost my satellite tv (finally figured out the cord came out of the strip plug. I think it took me forever to figure it out because I didn't realize the DVR part worked separate.)
2. Ohio Health called MY PARENTS at quarter after 8 today. They thought I had been in a bad accident. Nope. Just morons being morons. 'This is her primary number.' MoM: She would never have told you that. This isn't even Ohio you're calling. I call them and they just needed to change my appt with the knee doc. I'm like you KNOW my number. No, that was your number. Ashley I have a TEXT from you guys yesterday. You know my number. It sure as fuck ain't Pittsburgh. I change my appt.
3. Ask Ashely to double check when my angiogram is. Oh I can't do that. We can't see other departments. WHAT? Even the shit country hospital here can do that. Fine. I eventually log in and look myself. It's the day I just scheduled Ashley for. Call her back.
4. Call the vet. If Rocket's eyes aren't better by tuesday in he goes (he was in a fight and got an ass kicking)
5. Find out my insurance refused an allergy med. Call allergist who already knows. Yes I HAVE been on the meds my insurance is insisting I try but it's been years so now they're insisting I do these worthless meds again. Fine you wanna piss away your money, bring it on.
6. Word doesn't hear my recordings well. Will try again tomorrow...louder.
7. Word's dictate, however, hears me perfectly. Well then. I didn't even need this stupid recorder (I'll still use it for ghost hunting) So all my future recordings will be straight on word. However what it does NOT do even though it's meant to like put in punctuation and paragraphs. sigh
I think I'll do the fandom round up tomorrow. I didn't do any short story this week because I want to finish my![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

1. What's the strangest, unexplainable incident you have experienced or have heard of?
I've been a paranormal investigator since the mid 80s. One of the weirdest would be my entire 4 years at Waynesburg College in PA. My first year they had the sorority rooms (we weren't allowed houses because of misogyny by the whole town) in an old dorm. Me and two other sisters went to the basement, opened the door and walked into an operating theater from the civil war with a doctor amputating a limb. Next thing I knew I was alone and fascinated by the time slip. Later I found out the dorm had been used as a civil war hospital (it was torn down over that summer right after this) We also ended up with a weird spirit board session in the haunted theater (also a civil war structure, it's gone now too) getting the name Theodosia and Nav-camp. I did research. Theodosia Knox attended the school nearly 100 years prior and Nav-camp was testing for naval academy entrance (held in the theater)
2. Which mythical creatures or cryptids do you think are most likely to exist or have existed?
As much as i love cryptids, I'm not convinced any of them exist including the Mothman (sorry neighbor) Big Foot (though this would be the most likely) and the Loch Ness.
3. If you became a mythical figure how do you think you'd be portrayed
As angry and stubborn and mystical, probably a witch
4. What animal do others find creepy that you find cute?
I like bats and snakes. Bats are cute. Snakes, eh, less cute but I think they're cool.
5. What is your favorite lost civilization?
Hmm do the Etruscans count?

Sorry you had an exhausting day. I hope next few days can give you some rest.

and it's not just food anymore. EVERYONE expects tipped.

Those are great questions.
I have only seen one ghost but that was enough for me. I am too much of a chicken.
I used to watch Sue Thomas FBEye I haven't seen it in ages. I used to ship Sue and Jack so hard. Is it on reruns somewhere?
no subject
Ovation is rerunning it on Direct. I never watched it in the original run (or even heard of it) Jack and Sue are cute. That said I'm not finding this one tremendously memorable. I mean I like the show but it's not drawing me in hard

I'm glad the stand is together.
Wow, what a mess with your medical situations.

nothing in my life is easy
