It wasn’t me at all. I wasn’t the reason the Big Project didn’t get finished today (although I was the one who didn’t do it). Late this afternoon, as I was smelling the finish line and getting a second wind to get there, I hit a little bump in the road. I had to ask the Boss for some information that I didn’t have. Something didn’t make sense, and he was the only one who could solve it for me.

So I faxed him a note, asking why the contract amount for one particular project was several thousand dollars below the amount we actually received. It didn’t seem very likely that the owner would have voluntarily paid us more than we were entitled to. I suggested to the Boss that if that’s the case, why wouldn’t we keep sending him bills to see if he’d keep paying?

Anyway, I didn’t get an answer in time to do anything about it today. I was just getting ready to leave for the gourmet food party at Tammy and David’s house when the Boss called back, but it wasn’t to give me an answer as much as it was to clarify the question. I know how badly he wants me to finish, so I expected an answer soon, and sure enough, there it was on the fax when I got home from the party.

Over the fence.



Tammy told me I had to come to her party, but she said I didn’t have to buy anything. But after sampling so many good sauces and mixes and the like, I could hardly keep from buying one of everything we were served. I didn’t, but I did spend a lot more money than I ever thought I would. It’s all stuff I can use, though, so it’ll be okay. And it was worth it to drive down there in the rain, because I got to see the kids. Kylie shared her sippy cup with me (tried to, anyway, and I went along with it). Aiden chose me to help him put his pajamas on. D.J. and Dakota breezed through the room every once in a while, too. It was fun, even if I did spend too much money.
