another wet day

Yesterday I slept in (until 7:30am) and stayed in my jammies til noon. Jeeves would have been appalled. :) I wish I were now getting the three day weekend I asked for originally, but I have to go in to do a couple of rounds of testing.

"If you can pull this off it will be a coup."

File under the heading of 'nothing can ever be easy' - ( How I nearly gave the local postmaster a brain aneurism, and found a public servant who really IS. )

And in other news; people in Maine will take almost anything you leave out on the curb, so long as it says 'Free' on it.* They won't touch it if there's no sign, maybe because they think it might be meant for someone else. I left a door out their for days and no movement until I put the Free sign up, but I had balked at doing the sign because they always take the sign, too, meaning I have to make a new one each time. Today I put an old desk out and it was gone in a matter of a couple hours. The 'free' sign was left on the grass. I think they've caught on that they're likely to get more if they leave me the sign. ;) Either that or they think they're training me? I wonder if I'm furnishing someone's apartment? :)

*Almost anything. There's a pretty large boat that has 'free' spray painted in pink on the side, by Route 1 - that's not moving.
