so, i was up at 7 this morning, mostly because i knew i had to get mom up at 9 since Orkin was supposed to be here at 10. i always like having my breakfast done so we're not in each other's way in the kitchen. i made sure the Highlander was outside so they could get up in the attic. it was raining this morning, so basically the Highlander got washed. so, when Orkin got here, i was busy on the computer making sure i had all the coupons loaded on the Kroger card for grocery shopping later on. when i got that done, Orkin was already gone. mom told me he said there are definitely squirrels in the attic. he didn't have a ladder with him because he thought we had pull down stairs. he told mom that someone else would be out here later today to get up in the attic, set some traps, etc. etc. now, i went and did the grocery shopping. i came back this afternoon and knew just by the look on mom's face that no one from Orkin had shown up. two things royally piss me off in this world. ignorance and incompetence. i have no fucking patience for either. i know damn well why they are dragging their feet on getting up in the attic. the contract we signed states that if there is any damage to the insulation or anything up there, they have to pay for all repairs. the squirrels that aren't supposed to be able to survive with the insulation that is up there, have been up there for over a month now. and given that they haven't ended up in the trap attached to the hole they made in the soffit, there has to be another fucking way there are getting in and out. and this is after they swore they fortified the roof as well. now you know why there are no guns in this house.
mom made a scroll for a grocery list today. i got everything. there was no fucking way to keep it under $200 this week. at least i got $3 back on the booze i bought.
the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against UNLV, 66-65.
