Um yeah, tower is what I meant. I am retarded right now - tired.

They planned on replacing my screen with a flatpanel adjustable..but I don't think they realize how outdated their PCs are. They are going to buy me CS4 too...and it just will not load on that computer. So anyways.

So I found this when I walked in this morning:

It started the day after my interview! It just so happens that he might just use my new business for the "real estate consulting" that I would like to do.

That includes late fees and other stuff in addition to the regular rent. Just under 50 properties averaging 800 a month each and I get 8% of the total as my "management fee".

Hi everyone.

Lisa, that's a pretty neat welcome.

My welcome wasn't anything like that. Had to go in at 6:30 for a pee test, they did it on the jobsite.
I had a great day. Felt really good to be back working and I got to work with a guy I had worked with at the last company I was at. Hopefully they have enough work to keep us busy through the summer.

Finished pinkie's second round of polishing compound.

Now she needs one more washing and a coat of wax and we're good to go.

Before:

After:
