Very little profit.

The Inspector — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 21:30:22 +0000

This is a terrible time to be selling a house. If it weren’t for the fact that we have to move I seriously think I would just have kept our house and waited for the market to settle down. We are in a fortunate position to be making a little profit on our house unlike many people out there. It won’t be enough for us to purchase one of those Brazil vacation packages but we are going to pay off a few debts which will be nice. This will help us to be able to afford more house than we would have been able to do otherwise. I just can’t wait until I know which house we will be calling home!

Moving on.

After two months of living in cheap hotels this summer while I trained for my new job it feels oddly good to be home. The thing is that this is only going to be home for the next few weeks because we HAVE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!! This should be a joyous moment not only for my family but also anyone who reads this blog. Most of you will be very happy to no longer be subjected to posts about my horrible neighbors. We have put in a bid on a house but I seriously doubt the bid is going to be accepted. Either way it is nice to be sleeping in own home even if for a short time while we look for a new place to call home.

Things I know nothing about~

The Inspector — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 15:17:04 +0000

There are a couple people in my life who think I know something about just about anything they can come up with. Of course I find this flattering at time but it makes me wonder why exactly they think this way about me. Do I look like the type of guy who knows about futures trading, experimental treatments for balance disorders, and the status of political relations in the Middle East? These are definitely things that I know nothing about nor intend to learn about in the near future. There are just some topics that aren’t worth troubling my mind with. Today the most challenging question I want to investigate is what tee time I can get on Saturday morning.

Little feet.

The Inspector — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 14:04:39 +0000

Every so often I get the urge to build something. My most recent project was a piece of tv furniture. For the most part the television stand I build turned out very well. The only problem was I built it at such a height that it ended up being the first place our kids would prop their feet on while watching television. They also inevitably banged on the doors with their feet while getting them up there. Now the door is hanging on by a thread and there isn’t a good way to fix it other than build new doors. Since I made the thing out of scrap wood I guess I shouldn’t feel too bad about it. I just wish little feet would find someplace else to rest such as on the floor.

Glamazon

New office, more women. I understand that the Human Services field is female dominated field but when it’s eighteen women and you are the only guy in the whole place the estrogen can get a little thick. Talk of celebrities, affairs, and diet pills fill the office while the smell of perfume and hand lotion is almost stifling. I told my wife that pretty soon I will be coming to work in capris and the newest Oprah book pick to talk about. Divorce proceeding would be starting soon afterward was her response.

How much did that cost?

The Inspector — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 03:37:14 +0000

There is a women in my office ,that we all thought had been fired, who came back to work after getting what looks to be an entire body makeover. She was not an un-attractive women to begin with but now looks healthy and happy after lippo suction, dental work and several acne treatments to clear up what she thought was blemished skin. The whole thing cost a fortune we thought until she told us that this was part of her divorce settlement with her ex-husband. It seems that he cheated on her with his assistance so she went and had herself made over to look like her to torture him. Looks like it worked as she got roses from him just yesterday.

Things are looking up!

The Inspector — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 03:13:54 +0000

There is a possibility that we could actually be moving in the very near future. This week a bid came in on our house. It is lower than we would have wanted but the loss we will take is over shadowed by the benefits of being able to move. I just can’t believe there might be a time in the next couple months where we will be out critiquing houses ourselves. It will so much fun to analyzes people choices in carpet, bar faucets, wall paper, and other decor. What always kills me is how people buy a house because the “love” it and promptly redecorate just about every aspect of it. We on the other hand are truly looking for a move-in ready house that we won’t have to do all of that type of stuff to. The great thing is that once we sell we are not in any hurry to find a house since we have a place to live in the meantime which really should take the pressure off!

Casual Fridays

The Inspector — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 02:36:31 +0000

Finally after 2 long months of training I am at long last home and behind the desk at my new job. Things are going surprisingly well and my co-workers seem really great. I was surprised to find out that even though this is state job that we observe casual Friday’s on paydays. On these days we can where anything we want from funny shirts to flip flops and no one will care. The cool thing is that everyone “buys” this option for a dollar and all the money collected goes to a different charity each month. It is going to be fun to see what different people consider casual wear and who does or does not participate.

Beyond tired.

The Inspector — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 23:28:36 +0000

For the last week I haven’t gotten more than 4 consecutive hours of sleep each night. I really can’t say for sure what is keeping me awake. It is possible that I am simply drinking to much caffeine during the day. I know it isn’t from anything I am taking such as Phentermine because I don’t even take a daily vitamin. What I really think it is from is simply being away from home for too long. Thankfully all of the traveling I have been doing should be over here in another week.

Too late now.

The Inspector — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:24:49 +0000

As we traveled about Pittsburgh I had a very open conversation with my wife. In the course of that conversation we both stated that we wished we had never left Philadelphia four years ago. A couple of months ago my wife had the opportunity to return to her old job in Phili that she loved very much. Had we been being honest with ourselves I would have jumped on the bandwagon and looked at jobs in Philadelphia. It is too late now to do anything about it but at least we know where our hearts would be if all things were possible. I suppose the best thing we can do is to buck up and try to make the best life possible where we are for now.
