Waking Up to Tuesday.

Convoy: The Movie

I woke up  in the apartment listening to NPR. Its was a nice  morning out and I am getting ready for work. I will get this thing ready. Last night we saw the movie Convoy:The Movie. It stars Kris Kristofferson and Ernest Borgnine. I then posted it on Facebook and had a few good laughs. At work, it was the first day with my Supervisor. He was very occupied and I had no people the ENTIRE morning and boy that was nice.

I could get stuff done. I have a pain in the butt
 report to finish by Friday and I have had to schedule a bunch of folks for the next 3 days and next week. Yup, does not take long to get going that's for sure. Just had some food from the Kobobeesh restaurant near Pats house. YUM. I am now just catching up with email and such.Spent my first night at the apartment and it was nice being in my own bed. It was kind of trippy.

In Center City Tonite

My ambitions are small right now. Get the apartment finished, get in to a routine and then getting involved in some civic activity at some point. Dating well, that will happen or it wont. Not in the mood to go to the Cupid now.What are your plans for this weekend? I am meeting my friends in Deptford at 5pm. I met them all riding the Rt408 bus. I will be there til about 7pm. Spending 4 hrs a day on a bus, I had to make friends or lose my marbles.

Back to the Farm, Gov Christie conditionally vetoed a Cumberland, Salem wind turbine bill because the bill included provisions that would make wind turbines a “primary use” on preserved farmland. Did you hear that PRESERVED FARMLAND!! This would make the term "preserved farmland" a joke. I mean what is the definition of "preserved" to you my dear reader?? and just think it was sponsored by a Legislator who lives in North Jersey (Ok, Middlesex County)

Forget Food, Put Some Wind Turbines Here!!

This is just as bad as Philadelphia City Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell exempting her district in West Philly( where I live presently) from a "sidewalk bill" back in 1998. I was living in her district when that farce happened and the NJ Legislature is just as underhanded as Ms. Blackwell was in Philly.

In other events,  Pat flew his plane in Valley Forge today. He had a fun time  and crashed early tonite. I am looking to get a bongo and learn to play it in some manner. I am also looking to sell a nice (BUT way too BIG for my place) Microwave that has never been used. Clean as a whistle!!
Well, its really time to hit the hey.

It'sS Electric!

Stuart at Work

Hi my friend Stewart got the new GFI and we were able to get the door open. It looks a lot better behind the fridge for sure.

Towel Rack

The out now works. While Stu was working on the GFI, I installed the towel rack and toilet paper dispenser. Not a huge accomplishment but a start. After we got done, Stu Helen and I went out for dinner at a cool place near by that served Middle Eastern food. It was quite the treat! Work started to get real busy today the work is starting to crank up like crazy.The WAKKA is back!

At Work Yesterday

Putting in Pigtails

Back to Work

Can I vote with this ID/

Today, Tuesday, January 3 and I was back to work at the welfare office. It all went pretty good . I can say one thing about today, that is that it is cold outside!! It is very cold and windy. I managed to get up on time and walked my friend's dogs, then went to the apartment to take stuff out of the trunk so it would not be freezing in the trunk.

Kitchen Jan 3rd 8:55 am

Work was ok. Since my supervisor was not in, it was pretty relaxed and my co-workers helped me since I forgot some stuff. I had to reset up the computer and recopy stuff. My goal is to make the desk neater. I cleaned off my phone which was pretty groady.

This morning I was dizzy

  My landlord is going to add a cabinet and put in a ceiling light. He does tend to jerry-rigg his stuff and I am afraid that when he installs the ceiling light that it will look slummy. Well he did email me today

Make ANY Trash Can a Recycle Can!

I'm back in town, and I spent some time this morning with the metal detector trying to locate any significant metal (besides nails and screws) in your kitchen ceiling. There seems to be none. So it's up to us to pick a spot from which to hang the fan and light. I guess I'd go for the middle of the room, where lines from the corners of an imaginary box (bypassing the stove area as outside the box) would cross -- or the cross beam nearest to that spot. If you have another preference, let me know. I'll probably begin that project (cutting a hole, installing a box, and running some wire from the switch to the new box) tomorrow or Thursday, if that's ok with you. I've also identified a kitchen cabinet that seems appropriate -- not new, but with a plain wood finish. What would you like installed first, the cabinet or the fan-light?

I emailed some friends of mine to get their opinion and they had good advice. My favorate of them was this gem:

I'd avoid having that guy do any electrical work. We've seen his skillz. You can probably add a plugin type of light fixture that can be mounted but doesn't need any in the wall wiring. If you are looking to have a light that you can switch on when you come into the apartment without stumbling around there are these remote control switches that can do that. I can just imagine your landlord scanning the ceiling with a metal detector!

Ceiling back Nov 28. Where Ceiling Fan is to go???

I will keep my eye out and keep folks appraised on this ongoing process of creating a decent place to live at a value price. The photo of the ceiling is where the light is to go. I did work to make that ceiling nice and I really do not want it to look like THAT photo you see to the left. Is that UGLY or WHAT???
Well, I get up again to walk Mikes dogs  but before I go to bed, I am going to try to install a 10 dollar deal for MS office from work.
