Cult drama to come

[susandennis]

So, the missing shoes got delivered to Christian and he sent me a text last night that he had them safe and sound. I allowed as how if he didn't get here sooner, I'd pick them up on the 19th. He said he's likely be here sooner and I said no hurry but that I'd treat him to bkfst/lunch/coffee whatever he had time for. And then... he said... "Copy. I'll download the Anthony drama." WTF???? New news, I need those shoes now!!!

Anthony was the kinda long time director of facilities whose departure was abrupt and announced after he was gone. The rumor mill nearly imploded. Anthony was kind of a weird dude anyway. And it had always been clear that he had major issues with LCS - the cult's parent company in Iowa. And he was big on promises and not so big on delivery but he did do good stuff - like tweaking the generator to enable us to have hot water when the electricity went out for a month.

Anyway... Christian's work here - designing/redesigning apartment interiors - means he works closely with facilities so he is in the know and now I want to know!!

Plus, about two months before Anthony split, they hired Michael as second in command so he became temporary head. Except today, it was announced that Michael is leaving for a better opportunity.

Apparently facilities management is hard.

Also remembering your email address is hard. The Susan Dennis in West Liberty, Ohio, is on the ordering bandwagon and is also the chief suspect in the signing up for newsletters lately. Of course, since I placed an order for shoes using a 3 year old address recently, I probably should just squelch the snark.

I am out this morning to take my Amazon returns. I may or may not swing by Trader Joes.

At 11 I'm meeting Bonny in the elbow so we can check out the puzzle table situation in a couple of other elbows. Marketing owes us a puzzle table and they are trying to pawn off a dining room table instead. NFW, I say BUT Bonny's in charge of saying and I'm happy to go with whatever she wants.

No baseball but after today we have nearly two weeks of east coast baseball which means start times before lunch or mid afternoon. Perfect.

Ok, time to hit the road.

What is the difference between a puzzle table and a dining room table?, she asked, interestedly :D

Waiting to hear the Anthony drama!

Google puzzle table and you will see

[spiffikins]

Well THERE is a rabbit hole full of shiny toys :D

In addition to puzzle tables, I found puzzle boards on spinny things - those are cool :D

Right now I have a little tv tray upon which I have a big board - so "spinning" is me manually picking up the board and rotating it and putting it back down on the tv tray :D

And instead of fancy drawers, I have 3 shallow tupperware containers, LOL

I do not need fancy puzzling accoutrements, I do not need fancy puzzling accoutrements, I do not need fancy puzzling accoutrements :D

Turns out we don't either. Bonny and I looked at options on other floors and decided that what we have is the best of all. We use plastic plates from Dollar store for pieces and just turn the table around when we need it to spin. It works. We're happy. the end.

Hah! It's good that you were able to see what other options existed and realize yours is perfectly fine!

Is Christian the guy who did the work at your old condo plus some stuff where you are? And he knows Anthony and can dish the dirt? Apparently Seattle is an even smaller town than Ottawa. We claim there are zero degrees of separation here. And now I need to know the Anthony gossip.
