Delays , Delays and more Delays

Well this is a little fustrating when the I found out about the power going off on my lights I was really wishing for a quick fix but no that would be too easy. Well they after the visit from the electrician I got the bad news about having to replace the fuse box and re-wire the ceiling lights for most of the house. But first Edison was needed to come down and unlock the meter to be pulled off. Well that part went off without much effort they arrived later that same day. The contractor was notified and said he would be here on Sunday morning.

Well I should of been glad to have the next day off without having to deal with workers tramping through the house but to me it was just another delay of getting the job done in a timely fashion. Well needless to say I pretty muched lounged around the house all day didn't leave although I probably could of but the only thing I would of done is spend it with my daughter but she had to baby sit her mom on her trip to the dentist. So that left me with no company and not really up to going to work for one day and then back home to wait on the repairs.

Sunday arrives and the actual electrical contractor arrives with the other worker and he delivers more bad news more delays cause in order for him to do the work a permit must purchased to get the approval of the modification to the house. Isn't it just like that all the time you can do anything without a permit which is just another way of them taking more money from us then we are already putting out in the first place for the repairs. So now the project has now been put off til Tuesday which now leaves Monday as a free day for me.

So now after one more delay I am now looking at being out the entire week. And although I could probably use the break from reality, this is really not the type of adventure I would call a release from work. And unfortunately although the actual work isn't really costing me anything it will be costing me the required earnings I would of made had I been at work all week. Well I guess I am just going to have to hit it hard when I get back and try to recoup the loss of income.

I am going to be missing out on a few shows during the week but I am playing that by ear for the moment, although for the moment my lovely spoiled little girl has graciously volunteered to try to record my shows but we will have to see for sure if she can pull it off. I know she tells me that she is the recording queen and works miracles so I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

Well I think I have rambled on long enough and as they say it only happens in America. So I will on here for the next few days until the power is off so I guess I better call it night for the time being.
