Coffee anyone ?

Cold and turned windy today. Very chilly. Tonight supposed to be down in the mid 20's. Then a warming trend towards the end of the week.
Going to make a major grocery store run in a couple of days. I hate going and have just decided that I will get it done and get some more stuff "stashed". Worrying about what is going to happen with all the BS and the election mess. I hopefully will be getting the floor sanding done this weekend and into early next week. Found a different person that will sandwich me inbetween a couple of other jobs..... so if the original one doesn't call me back tomorrow.... then I will call him and cancel and go with the new guy. He said he can come Friday aft...... been waiting for over a month for the other guy.
I want to get things moved and waiting for the sanding mess to be done has been a big holdup.

We went to the local AT&T store to get BJ's new phone turned on and his contacts transferred over. I gave the wrong password, the tech told us it locked up the phone, AT&T would call us tomorrow. Then he was pretty much through with us. No contacts moved to the new phone. It sounded funny, but we are tech ignorant, and said we would come back tomorrow. Talked to our daughter, she looked at our phones and said that guy somehow reported the phone lost and that is why it locked up. THAT'S why he wanted us out of there! I'm mad.

So we have to go to Tyler Thursday and we will go to the AT&T store there and get someone that knows what the heck they are doing to fix things.

You should ask to fill out a customer review survey on that employee, or at least speak to a manager about it. That's terrible service and he took advantage of your lack of technology know how to get away with not doing his job. I hope you can get the phone info transferred over.

Coffee is on
Didn't get much farm stuff done yesterday, but my teeth are cleaned and had a nice visit with my friends who watched the kids.
Then spent the evening trying to figure out where or what happened to an amazon package. They refunded the $ & said it was stuck. But they won't cancel it..... am pretty much over them. They have 48 hours to figure it out.

Ooooh....new phones and no tech....same here with tec, just no new phone! I get into enough trouble with this tablet. Sometimes I stumble into things on it. Used to have some classes at local comm college...not now with Covid....like the "for dummies" but in person you can ask questions!

Someone told winter to visit. It's 32 out there and windy! . Crap. Glad I got all my winter farm stuff washed up about 6 wks ago. They say warms back up before weekend. If this is my test day for bad weather, I failed and will wimp out. Not ready for this.

Instead, I'm going to a store my DM needs to have worked. Some extra $$ in my paycheck will be nice because this is our slow down season. Another week or two and will only work 8-10 hrs a week, max. Occasionally a store gets a total renovation but it's a hit and miss thing. So a lot of free time in winter. Used to do a lot of food demos then, none now. I'll practice retirement. .

I agree with Larson, don't let that person get away with fraudulent actions. Someone needs a head clearing and maybe a new job. Customer service jobs are for people who CARE about the customer.

Oh, WARM there! It is 17°F and windy here. Of course, given your location I suspect 32°F this time of year is unusually cold.

Umm, no thank you! Brr

Are y'all going to put down more carpet or refinish the floors beneath?
@Baymule
Well I still have linoleum pulled up and underneath it's just plywood... both the living room and the dining has very nice looking wood around the edges then more plywood in the middle. So I hope to put some type of laminate in the downstairs. DH wants carpet upstairs... Not sure I agree but with the lead paint on all the upstairs floors it may be the best/easiest option. The pantry has/had 5 layers of carpet and linoleum.... then more painted floors. Very glad there was only one layer in the kitchen.

Too bad there isn't old hardwood floors beneath. The plywood in the middle sounds like the original floors rotted out. Too bad. Laminate flooring de-laminates, don't use it. Under the layer of formica like top is medium density fiberboard. it gets wet, it comes apart. Ask me how I know! Go with either tile, wood or the PVC flooring.

Thanks for the coffee, spent some time reading on Yahoo news and Epoch News. I'm not any smarter for it. The local AT&T store is some sort of franchise, their service sucks. If we go to Tyler to the REAL AT&T store, their service is excellent. Just didn't want to spend the major part of the day on it, but that's what it will take. Since we have to be in Tyler tomorrow, we'll make it a day.

Chilly here this morning.... 26 at the old house. Going to move the recording thermometer up to the new house if I can remember the next couple of days. The wind has died down, just a light breeze that is normal for up here. CHILLY WILLY. The chickens were all still in the shelter or outside along the side of it in the sun. Waterers iced but they had pecked through some of it so were okay. Hose is crackly but it will thaw here shortly. I will fill them before I go to test this afternoon. I may unhook it and drain it so that tomorrow it won't take so long to be able to water. Tonight is supposed to be the coldest so far, then a warming trend.
