$4.82 , 2+3

November 07 2006

FINALLY, received the errant phone bill that caused my company handphone to be locked out.  Total amount ... $4.82.  That was for the 11-30 Sept period, which covers the 1st month I took over the phone.  What is interesting is the 1-10 Sept bill has been lost in yaya-land and nobody knows where it is.  It was for $22 ... I paid both (which are reimburseable by the company) and the phone was unlocked.  Given that this phone is a critical piece of the backbone for our Warden Emergency System ... you would think we'd have some type of agreement in place with the phone company so there wouldn't be a lock out .... you would think .... anyway.



What's 2+3 ??? 5, of course.  Actually, that represents the number of vehicles in our garage .... two cars ... and three motorcycles.  The motorcycles are from our drivers and security guard .... never would have thought I would have 3 motorcycles in my garage.



"Final inspections" are underway at the house.  The owner has only two things left to do:  (1) install the curtains (I think that starts today), and (2) buy two pool side lounge chairs.  As for the alarm system, generator, and stablizer ... looks like we are going to get saddled with servicing and maintenance costs on something we don't even want (but is a requirement of the company) ... not sure how much that will cost us.  AND, I understand we have to buy some plastic containers and store backup diesel (for the generator) on the property ... now that sounds safe !!  Thankfully its not gasoline.



As for the house ... well, still waiting for our shipment before we do the final decorating ... but next on the agenda for purchases is (1) entryway couch/chairs, (2) pool table [depending on price], (3) patio dinette set.



Nothing interesting to report about work ....
