The Godfather

Yet another chilled out night at the main maintenance base. Been working nights here for the past 4 days. Nice bit of OT. Usually just 1 or 2 tasks n then it was off home early. Excellent. Next week or 2 is gonna be a little hectic on the home front.

Firstly feeling rather disgruntled with the quality of housing we have been handed, we started to ask around. And true enough we have been taken for a ride price wise. Probably charged for 2x of what would be reasonable. So we are looking to move. But that is just 1 of several reasons. Another reason is that it may take at least 3 mths to get an Internet line. But it could take as long as 3 years as some guys from work have testified to.

Yet another reason is the bro of the person who set us up with housing. He has this habit of taking his sweet time to sort things out. Things like installing the air-con or fans. Or arranging for things like furniture or TV, etc. But when he finally gets round to sorting it out he expects you to be available when he pops round. Literally demanding you drop what you are doing so he can come round. All that aside thou is the more worrying side of her bro is this. The fact he likes to turn up on an unannounced social call and expecting you to fling open your doors and usher him in. Of cause normally I'd just tell someone like him to politely piss off but sadly he is well known in the area in having links to both the cops as well as the local mobsters. Last thing I need after work is a visit from Tony Soparano or a bunch of cops with planted narcotic evidence.

So we are on the house hunt. On the quiet thou. Lest Bro turn up on my door step in a foul mood. Also Wifey needs to fly home before her tourist VISA runs out. So most things will be on stand still till she gets back. When she is back thou her sis will be in tow for a short holiday. So even then she won't be at full admin capacity.

Man ain't looking forward to yet another stint without her around. Think this year is the year we spent with the most time apart. Must be close to 3 mths when you lump it together. Plus I gotta look after our dog and study for my exams. Gonna be seriously shattered if work springs OT on me. Great for the bank account, not so great for my energy levels.
