In my continuing saga of our garage door, it has been officially ordered through the garage door company contracted through Costco. It says it can take 4-6 weeks to order it, so I sure hope it’s on the shorter side of the four weeks. The guy put estimated completion date November 06, which is EIGHT weeks, so let’s hope that’s not actually true. They had the lowest price, plus we get a $200 Costco Gift card. Guess I wasn’t kidding that much when I joked to M about it being done in time for Christmas.
I am almost done with the conclusion of clueless Spock and yes there is a happy ending after all. Then it’s the last one in October. Sorry for any delays, but today at work, well, I worked. HA HA
As you know, or should recall, we are moving from our current building which we’ve been at for like I don’t know 30 years. I’ve been there myself for a number of years, though not the whole 30 obviously. This is a HUGE change for all of us. It’s only a few blocks away but in a new area with new parking and new building and smaller desks and well…at it’s now less than three weeks. We go to the new office beginning September 30th! So we are packing and doing crazy shit right now.
So I do apologize. I am trying to get out as much as I can on AO3. I did um…what did I do? The Space in My Bed and Our So-Called Life. Yes, that’s right.
Friday’s a new song flash. Let’s just say it’s a song from the 1970s! WOO HOO.
On the drive home I was listening to the radio and they played Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield (who flung his sweat on me one day but that’s another story) and I was singing it as Uhura’s Boy! HA HA HA. Instead of where can I find a woman like that, it became “Where Can I Find a Vulcan like That?”
Anyway, that’s not the song, obviously! HA HA

I will never hear that song the same way again LOL ‘where can I find a Vulcan like that!’ love it and someone needs to do a full parody of it. Sadly, I do not have the talent

The lyrics really do go if you change it up a bit, “I feel so dirty when they start talking cute, I want to tell him that I love him but the point is probably moot.” 😀
Thank you and Adam thanks you! ha ha

I’m hoping for not that many weeks too! I’m so glad that it’s all working out. Even if there’s a wait.
Gimme stuffs! I want the words!
Though I feel your pains about moving. I know this well. I hope yours goes much more smoothly than mine.

Yes, a damn long wait, but it has to be custom ordered and blah blah blah

The custom ordered part. Why did they build the garages there like that in the first place? Or, probably when it was built, it wasn’t a custom size. I don’t know when they were built, but the 80’s were notorious for building 1 1/2 size garages and the weird size door. Here, at least. I owned one once. Never EVER again.
Sorry – but wow did you get to make lemonade out of the lemons. You needed a new door anyway, but not a 3 month ordeal, definitely. The wheels of justice grind. Period.
Work at work? How dare they? At least when the move’s done, it’s done for another 30 years maybe! haha
Thanks for all the writing. I’m a moth to a flame with each one. Is it just me, or does it seem like everything you’ve written the past 2 years was tailored to my preferences??? Or were they always, even when I didn’t know they were there? A pair of docs.
(I know, it’s a stretch. Go with it. It’s the law you make allowances for people like me.)

You nailed it. The 1980s is when it was built. AND the garages are not on level ground, they all tilt downward on an incline so that adds an extra layer of fresh hell when replacing them. Yeah I keep telling myself that this too shall pass and by Thanksgiving we will have our door all pretty and new with each of us having a garage door opener controller (we’d been down to one for about two years prior to this).
I know, right? The work thing. Sigh. I do think we will stay at the new place for a while, at least until the company goes under or something HA HA
Our preferences align as we are all Spirk fiends. Or I am. You are. Some of us. HA HA

It would be a cold day in hell. Which, that may be what that show is about. I dunno. I don’t/won’t watch it.
