Friday: Took off the whole day off work and started out packing and washing clothes. Work up uncharacteristically early on an off day. Around 8:30 am. Hey I could have been to work on time if I had gone in. Bo picked me up and we headed to get the RV ready for the trip and Tammy met us there. We stopped in Brenham for some DQ. I lost the last part of the trip entranced in Sudoku - getting my ass kicked by a puzzle - medium level - 25 minutes and counting. So I did what I had to do - I quit the game. RV generator wasn't working and somehow the side windows had cracked open so we were getting warm. Upon arrival, the generator wasn't working. After a phonecall, we discovered it was a safety feature of the RV that the generator kicked off to consevre gas when it hits 1/8th a tank or below. So we hit the Austin traffic with very little gas in search for a big station with diesel. We found it and it was right where we ended up giong dancing later that night.
Saturday met Jay and Veronica for lunch. Driving in Austin, I remembered what a nice city it was to look at - parts of it. I-35 isn't impressive, but most other parts are - either scenic or nostalgic. stayed at the hotel for the convention dance/concert that night. Sunday we where on the way home. We had shared the weekend in Austin with the ROT Bikers Rally. But our convention totted 1730 sober people on Saturday night. Stopped by DQ on the way home, by that time my body was tired and I kinda shut down for the rest of the day. Needless to say, got crap done that day, but I did go swimming at the cool pool, which I had wanted to for months.Monday was chaotic. The shitty committee rented out my head for their own state convention. (State of Mind that is). Thier attendence was unknown but week represented as they tore up the place. They got kicked out by 7:30 that night as I entered the better part of the day (the last 4 hours). Tuesday, the committee crashed the place again, and ruined a perfectly good suprise for me ans they argued out in anger every good thing possible in my life, Wednesday was a better day. Thrusday was too. Friday the Shitty Committee made one last attempt to crash.
After a long day at work, I came home for a brief minute and saw my kitchen floor covered in water and the fridge and freezer had been off. What the hell happened here? I spoke with the apartment manager who promised to get maintainence out immediately. Came home that night to find more. One discovery was maintainence had used a small kitchen towel to soak up water and left the soaking dirty towel on my countertop. But it was folded up ... thanks for folding it you ASSHOLE! Then I stepped back out into the living room and something cuaght my eye. A staineed ceiling and couch.
Turns out a water pipe had burst next door, so said the upstiars neighbor who had water in his kitchen too. The water pipe mystery found it's was from the bottom floor apartment next to me, up into the apartment above me. Something's fishy - and I got left with the fun part of it. Bad food in the fridge - not sure what that has to do with the pump. A wet floor, dirty towl and stained soon to be moldy ceiling. I am so ready for the weekend. After Friday night a note was posted at the front door to the Shitty Committee."No committee meeting tonight. Meetings suspended until further notice due to the unpredicatable behaviour of the attendees of this meeting. In the mean time, talk amongst YOURSELVES and find out who's in charge of your committee. You may submit your nominations before re-entering the premises, but chances are some of us in here already know Who's in charge. And it's not who you think. -Sincerely Peace, Serenity and Hope."
Enjoy your week. Would love to hear about it as long as it's not written by your committees' members in standing.
