Fitz Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 Got pulled off high priority job only to work on another high priority job. Is there ever such a thing as low priority? yeah, getting several thou $$$ you're owed is apparently very, very low priority to everyone else
Pars Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 Looks like my company is in for a bit of reorganization, in the 11th hour before the HP acquisition closes in a few days. I have wind of a bit of it, and I'm not pleased... Ehhhh.... best of luck Marc. At least Carly isn't still at HP.

Knuckledragger Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 Drove to the center of town, paid $out_the_ass for a dump "transfer station" sticker. Went to the %$#@& post office and picked up my %&$@ mail. Received no explanation as to why they continued to hold my mail after Monday. Got an email at 2PM from my tax accountant saying he had a 7PM cancellation, and could I meet him then to go over my tax info. Said yes. Spent two hours sorting through paperwork to make sure I had the right info for the Vineyard, the mainland, and anything else that gives me at tax liability. Received a cal from an idiot dancer I know asking me if I was going to be at the nightclub taking pictures on Saturday. Told her "politely" to bother me later. Did not nap. Drove to the tax accountant's house, went over numbers and forms with him for an hour. Drove to mum's house, gave her some paperwork, and two prints of the house across the pond on MV. Got a bite to eat. Went to 3 different grocery stores and one drug store. I was out of practically everything at the house. Also received an iPod from Mr. DIY and a 50mm Nikkor from the . Finally got in the door half an hour ago. Still haven't eaten dinner, still need to email some renovation expense #s to the accountant, and put away (as in "off the damn table where I eat") several piles of paperwork. That bottle of Talisker is finished tonight.

n_maher Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 Got one step closer to home ownership.... offer accepted.. now on to the paperwork. Congrats! Just remember, from this moment on you are the only one on your side. Your agent now has a vested interest in seeing the deal close. Be very picky about anything that comes up in the inspection process and push as hard as you can, everyone else will happily tell you whatever they think you want to hear to keep the ball rolling.

grawk Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 and don't let anyone talk you out of the inspection. And get an inspector recommendation from people other than your realtor.

Also if you know anyone in the construction business take them along as they can help spot things you may not have even thought about.
grawk Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 I let my realtor talk me out of an inspection on my current house (because we were offering significantly less than what it was listed for), and I've been driven crazy by the stupid shit about this place ever since.
morphsci Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 We had an inspection on our current house and I'm still being driven crazy by some of the stupid shit the former owners considered "upgrades".

Dreadhead Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 Congrats on the house. Good luck with the home inspection.
Salt Peanuts Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 I'm just being driven crazy by the home ownership in general. At least the things we're doing now (new roof, and waterproofing the goddamn basement) are fairly long term things so we shouldn't have to worry about them for a good while.
Dreadhead Posted April 8, 2010 Report Posted April 8, 2010 Yeah our house is currently pretty much "done". I redid the weatherstripping on the front door and mulched the beds so now I'm all set. I even figured out that the only problem with the back screen door that has been driving me nuts for years was that the lock mechanism needed lubing. It's a very nice feeling to have nothing on my list other than touch up painting which I just keep putting off because I don't really care. Had friends over last night for burgers in the back yard. It was sweet.
