All of my rummage sale signs are gone. I don't know if they just blew away or if someone ripped them down.
Were they attached to light poles and such? I bet a City worker came by and took them down if so.
The poles were metal garden stakes like this. They are still there. I had to pound them into the ground with a hand mallet. Signs are all gone.
I mean, it could have been the wind. Though there's no sign of the posterboard anywhere. And they were crossbraced with wood shims, so I figured they'd be nearby....
I'm just annoyed. Now I have to make all new ones.
Where did you put the poles, and could whoever owns the property where the poles are have taken them down?
It's all public land. You know, near stop signs at intersections on the shoulder. And the poles are still there in the ground.
Seriously, I'm betting wind. And then maybe someone saw the poster in the street or side of the road and picked it up.
It's just an annoyance. Lost posterboard. Cool signs. Now I have to take time to make new ones and distribute them when I should be hauling crap up from my basement and sorting and pricing.
Also, period. Someone's been pissing in my Cheerios all week. This is just icing.

The light/fan in our living room stopped working earlier this week. DH finally went to Home Depot for a new light bulb, but it looks like the whole fixture is dead.
He also changed the annoying Ikea bulbs in our hallway fixture, and the whole thing just went out 20 minutes later.
Both of them were in the house when we bought it 8.5 years ago, so it's not a big surprise. Now I get to pick out new ones!
I'm at the clinic with my oldest. She slammed her thumb in a car door last night and it's not looking so great. I didn't stretch post-run and I'm sick of sitting here.

The lightning storm last night was amazing. I wish I could have gotten pictures. It lasted for hours. It was really quite beautiful. It was so loud that it woke me up around 1am.
I hate that we're the only office that answers the dayum phone. LADY telling me that another department isn't answering means NOTHING. I don't know those damn people or if they went to take a Shit and didn't answer.

Yup. Or knows which is the correct dept to direct people to.

Between the crazy here making me feel like I'm the probably a stereotypical liberal snarker, crap not being done at work yet (which is giving me stress heartburn), a weird fight with my DH before a party yesterday, money being super tight for the next 4 months, an emotional political fight IRL about our school bond that involves friends, and my youngest (2 year old) who says HATE more than any other word, I'm feeling overwhelmed and sad. I need less suck and even cute goats can't aren't cutting it.

We were still up last night and our backyard has a straight view north. It was pretty awesome.
My boss is meeting with a potential client right now and I don't like this dude. He's a fucking blowhard. He's loaded (yes, I'm sure, based on the phone conversations he was having in the lobby in addition because of the attorney who referred him) and he's bitching about a consultation fee. WE DO NOT WORK FOR FREE YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE. He's also a fucking name dropper who is dropping the name of every prominent attorney in our area because they're in his cell phone contacts.

I'm all squinty at the people who took the "you don't even go here" statement wrong. It's real simple: Don't put your nose in family business if you haven't participated long. All other posts are fair game.

I'm sitting right there with you because, yeah. I realize it's the big giant internet here and we're not in a bubble and everyone can see, etc., but YOU DON'T GO HERE and I do not take kindly to people who don't go here coming in here and telling us how we're doing it wrong. And god forbid anyone come in here and take a go at a reg because....no. NO. YOU DON'T GO HERE!
