Feb. 11th, 2005 09:41 pmDidn't get home until 9:00 tonight.
Worked late, then met Mom at the mall because I definitely needed help to buy some magenta with which to supplement my wardrobe. After shopping, I stopped at my aunt's house so I could have a shower and wash my hair. And she had a really good shower massage head.
Our new hot water system won't be installed until Wednesday.
I couldn't have chosen a better week to be on the road.
But the system will be expensive: $2,400 for an on-demand system rather than a traditional tank. But said gadget will be outside the house, not in my office. This reduces the risk of further flooding and gives me back a closet in my office.
The gifts I bought last night for the VP were not acceptable -- although I was told so in a nice way.
So I'm meeting the Comms manager tomorrow morning at REI for more shopping.
I just keep telling myself "$30/hour".
But the really good part of today was that when I asked the comms manager if I could vent to her about my anger about the shopping situation (we were in a private room), she gave me a bit more information that made the situation somewhat less aggravating. Then we discussed the relationship between Miss V and me, and I found out that she (Vicki) evidently has very much the same take on our relationship as I do: that we both try to get along, but sometimes we just drive each other crazy despite our good intentions.
Which is reassuring. It gives me hope that our relationship can continue its (albeit slow) improvement.
The CM suggested that the three of us go out together during the road trip and just have a few drinks together and talk about anything except work. Which I think is an excellent idea.
Must to go bed now. . .
