- Day 3 – The beast hasn’t emerged from its dwelling all day. We believe she may be pregnant. #
- Day 2, part 2 – we found the beast. Unfortunately we were in a bad position and had to circle around. #
I began putting in an outdoor faucet today. I bought the correct PVC pipe and had everything cut right, put it together before cutting into the waterline or gluing, and saw that the guy who lived here before used CPVC.
For those of you like me who don’t/didn’t know the difference, CPVC is smaller and the same size as the old copper tubing (approximately).
So I went back to Lowes and bought all the pieces in CPVC, except one elbow. By the time I realized I was short that piece, it was too late to start hacking into the waterline in case there was a leak or something. I stopped and plan on finishing it tomorrow.
The good news is that everything seems to soft-fit this time as well. Yay, the first of hopefully many home improvement projects this summer.
Oh well. The position I interviewed for on Friday was not offered to me. I just got the “thank you but…” email. I’m not angry, but I am kind of disappointed. It truly was a dream job from my point of view.
Of course, now I’m second-guessing myself and wondering what I said/did to mess it up. Possibly nothing. I’m sure the others interviewed were more experienced than I am. IT/Tech Support wasn’t my forte until the last 2-3 years. I think I’m a well-rounded support person. Perhaps I wasn’t eloquent enough. Maybe I should’ve worn a suit instead of khakis.
No matter what, I hope they do keep me in mind if anything does open. Like I said, they are about the dreamiest job I’ve heard of in a long time.
At least I will fall back on school this fall if nothing happens this summer.
