What a pain-in-the-ass morning. I'm working at home this week since most of ZOT Group staff is off at ApacheCon 2000 Europe. I asked Kirky to stay home so she could give marching orders to the guy we've hired to finish painting out kitchen for us. We've quickly realized over the past year of owning a house that it's much easier to pay someone to do the job right the first time then to do it poorly ourselves and have to pay someone to fix it.

This guy was originally scheduled to come a few weeks ago. It would have been done if it wasn't for him "penciling me in" and waiting for a confirmation. He didn't think to call me and see what's up - he just erased me out of his book. That particular day, Kirky waited at home for 3 hours and ended up taking the day off.

So she rescheduled it to this morning and waited. In between waiting, we lost my cell phone. Kirky did a phenomenal job cleaning the living room and kitchen while I was being a slug all weekend and somehow we lost my cell phone. I looked everywhere, blaming her for moving it since I had remembered turning it off early in the morning when the batteries went dead. Sure enough after an hour of "The Blame Game" she found it in the front seat of the car- where I had left it while running errands yesterday.

It's now 2hrs 20min since the time Kirky had written down that this guy was going to come. She called him at his office with no response, left a message and finally left for work an hour ago.

We're just not having any luck here.....
