New profession, busy month comin

For the longest time, we have had a shitload of watches with dead batteries.  They have been piling up as they kick the bucket.  I have been intending to take them to a place and have the batteries replaced.  For whatever reason, it hit me this past week that is is asinine to pay 10-20 bucks each to have these batteries replaced when I can easily do it myself. 

I fixed my first two yesterday.  All it took was a little patience and care.  It certainly was no tougher than the laptops I disassembled and reassembled for years.  Each battery cost me like $2.50.  Ali gave me her other 4 watches which I will fix today.

After this weekend, the following 4 weekends are going to suck.  Our offices are getting new motor vehicle equipment and the installs start on Fridays and go through the weekend.  In some cases I will have to be on premise and at the very least always available to come in if need be.  It’s a pain in the ass.  The timing is bad because this is also our normal busy time of the year as our department has to print out over a quarter million tax bills.  October, November and December are when we earn our money.

The weekend has no major things on the docket.  I have a number of things that need to get done sometime like changing the oil in the Sentra, some work on the van and our carpet could use a going over with the steam cleaner.  We’ll see how motivated I feel.  We still have gotten no rain so I will have to water the landscape again.  Stuff is looking droopy and sections of grass are already browning out.
