Ate Ate Seventeen

After TWO full, grueling, ate/eight (8) hour days pounding the freshly polished concrete floor at the Orange Box, today I report late for a short shift into the early evening. So I ‘sleep in’ if one can call 5:19 in the AM sleeping in.

Tuesday now & a new week with another lengthy list of tados right out of the gate. Calls, emails & texts, supporting research, all sorts of things. Getting things organized, accomplished and running however topes, aka speed bumps and various obstacles some anticipated some not have as already raised the FQ (frustration quotient).

Like the mobile hot-spot not connecting to the information super-highway to access email. Email is kind of critical this day under the Job Search tab & folder. Taking a break from that.

A storm moved thru the region last night and I am suspecting some hardware issues. Bandwidth seems to be a problem connecting but this latest communication effort is on the west coast so I have a couple of hours leeway to sort it out.

Also breaking from painting. The red knots and the American plovers in the non-breeding plumage are getting into crunch territory. Proceeding exceedingly slowly with color selection, blending and applying.

The knots are further along and moving better but the plover is sold. Go figure THAT one out.

Ran into some errand frustrations this morning already on a brief trip out. Headache with the rental property. Fence is down, one fence guy called I again this morning and the tenant is waiting running out of patience I am sure.

I went looking for a DIY chemical store for treating home pests. Referring to insects NOT the real estate people, window or roofing solicitors.

The place I was thinking or THOUGHT I saw on a trip to teh recycling center on 380 was not there. I stopped at the wood fence used picket lot and got a lead. Stopping there I spoke to a gent that was quite helpful. I found a place that sold such things but the down side is much more research needs to be done. I am looking at an extended session at the library later on this week.

Bouncing emails re MAST, McK Art Studio Tour. SO SLOW !!

Nothing getting done and nothing moving. Kind of discouraging but keep in mind that artists are like herding cats. They simply do not get clear, concise & quick emails or communication PERIOD. They are sending around mails with attachments are not the ones that are needing the work done on them. And then RESENDING.

The show is coming up and do you think anyone can promptly RESPOND to a message of importance ?

No.

But a giggle or light-hearted comment draws a flurry of such mindless bouncing. With attachments still attached. Maddening.

I guess that’s it.

Things humming along; two steps forward, three back.

The Time Traveler on Old Time Radio for background noise.

Let me see if I can apply some small dabs of paint to the red knots.

Or not.
