Just BUSY I guess.

I am kind of bummed because I am picking up and moving offices this weekend. I am not sure I could move further, wish I had a cart with wheels. (Oh the office isn't that big as a whole but I am moving to the opposite end). But I won't be right by the kitchen and bathroom now, bah. Then again maybe I will get more exercise...

Anyway, my boss came in a few weeks ago and said, "would you like so and so's old office?" Like this was a great development. I am like, um, no. LOL. One of the older ladies said women are nesters, and I thought, I guess so. I know I have been in this office at least 2 years. Maybe longer. (3?4? I don't even know). But I have one of the nicer desks. A huge wraparound desk that his filled to the brim with papers. So my boss offering me a desk like 1/5 the size wasn't too appealing. Plus the room is pink - blech. He then mentioned that the problem with my office was it was too cramped for clients. Hmmmm, I hadn't thought about it but he had a point. Since I am doing a lot of the work the big old manager did I asked why I just couldn't take his office. He looked hesitant, but said, if I wanted it I could take it. I did a little walk through the office and decided the office was way too masculine (& big at that) and wondered if the masculine part was his hesitation. They are very big on decor and matching and all this stuff. But he had very recently made clear he is not looking to hire any more management, so I figure why not take the fancy office. Maybe he wants to keep his options open. Then I took a walk down the hall and decided I really liked the end office. It has the same desk but is a little more roomy. I know it had some roofing problems or something in the past, but they said it is okay now; mine if I please. There is the original building I am in now and the fancy "new" wing and I will get to move down there. It is much more roomier and nicer chairs for clients so should work out. But I think I will miss my own office. It's kind of a curse or a bane because right at the front I hear all that is going on and all the office gossip and such. Then again I close my door so much to block out all the noise. Maybe it will be more peaceful/quiet down there.

It's been so busy I couldn't justify moving yet, but decided just to do it this weekend. Get paid overtime to move offices; what the heck?

In other news I got the bill for dh's BT. Still only charging 1.5% of the balance. I thought since last month it had only been outstanding part of the month they just took average daily balance or something. But no, only charging 1.5% of entire amount for minimum payments. Not bad!!!! I thought the credit cards were required to start charging 4% of balance at minimum. Hmmmm, who knows when I guess. Buys me time to make more interest.

I have to follow up with WAMU too. I am frustrated that Sears has sent me a letter that it has cleared up my ID theft thing, but no one else has. Bah. I guess technically they can't report all the cards to the credit bureaus in the meantime, but they all are... So I need to make sure I don't face any universal default issues with WAMU. Was just going to send them a letter to cover my butt. But yeah, I expect more of them to come through in the next couple of weeks - releasing me from responsibility, officially.

In other news, BM's karate class got changed. Bummer. I love classes through the city because they are so darn cheap, but inevitably they never last very long. We had the BEST music class that just went all the hell when the teacher moved to an expensive studio (we would have paid, but the time was awful & we had such issues with the studio we refuse to go back now). & now this. Of course I am kind of annoyed with dh on this one. He had to take him at 4:30 yesterday and the world might as well have ended. YEs, like it is so easy to rush from work and run the kid to karate like I have been for months. But it makes him happy. So yeah, he was really indecisive yesterday if he could continue to take him, but he didn't really have a reason other than it was "hard." So I was just annoyed with him. So he can't have a hectic day one day a week for BM? I think I am just annoyed because he has no idea how rushed my M/Ws are at work since I have to be on kid pick up and drop off duty. My days are short and I have to cram an extra hour of work in a shorter day somehow. Yes, naps were ruined, dinner was delayed. But the world will not end.

Anyway, BM has many interests and most recently has been wanting to do soccer, so I did approach it Monday when I found out about the time/day change that this may be a good opportunity to try a different class, like soccer! But he REALLY wants his karate. We might have to look into other options I guess. Too bad none are as cheap. & he just LOVED the class too. Figures.

In other news, Northern California has been plagued by wildfires this last week or so and so the sky has been a hazy brownish color for the last week. Blech. I woke up last Tuesday and when I looked outside I thought, "it looks like LA." Just a haze of air pollution. You couldn't smell the smoke which is the first thing I thought but wasn't quite sure. Until later in the day when I returned to work and stepped out and was choking on the smell of smoke. Was horrid. It has died down a bit, but not much sunshine.

On the plus side it seems to be keeping the temps down a tad. Otherwise it would be insanely hot for September.

Well, it's much better, but the sky is a bit hazy still. I guess it isn't any better back home in San Jose - another BIG fire down there too. We usually don't get near the wildfires Southern California does. I don't think either of these fires are threatening any homes. Just making for interesting air quality.
