Posted July 12, 2020 ello. how is everyone? don't necessarily want rainstorms, but would be nice if we had something that made it cooler; it's too hot Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2020 i'm actually off to bed "early" for me - it's before 12:30 a.m.! i think it'll be cooler for me in .... november. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2020 haha, yeah, that is "early", especially since it's the weekend XP yeah, same here. that being said, since hawaii is so close to the equator the overall temperature doesn't fluctuate much (cold is high 70's) Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2020 Good morning, CPA! *sets out Belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream* I am hoping this morning's rain stops soon. I had plans to go to my shop to clean up the mess I left behind yesterday (project was interrupted by ... rain ) so the volunteers who come tomorrow don't have to deal with it.

Posted July 12, 2020 Good morning. It rained a little here yesterday and supposedly will rain a bit today too. I don't mind, I could use a break from this heat. Share this post Link to post

It is cooler today finally, which is a big relief to us as our bedroom air conditioner has decided to blow out the electrical circuit every time it cuts on! Probably will need to replace it.

Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Waffles are good, aren't they? Eeps, that's not good about the a/c, @purplehaze. I hope you can sort it out. I have a similar issue at my shop. In the bookroom, if I turn the a/c on, wait a bit, then turn on the lights, all is well. If I turn on the lights and then the a/c, the breaker trips. Old building. Elderly wiring. Hi, subwoofer! Enjoy your bit of cool! Edited July 12, 2020 by Lagie Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2020 ugh. i normally go in to work on sundays at 3. today it's 2. i don't wanna..... Share this post Link to post
Posted July 12, 2020 I'm at work, if that helps. Hauling books and LPs. Thank goodness I came in, though. We had a mirror for sale outside and I arrived to find it had fallen and shattered. So my day started with cleaning that up. Right now I'm having tea with the cat, and pondering this box: I keep mis-reading 'set'! Share this post Link to post

I didn't quite get finished, though, so I'm concerned about a couple of the volunteers who are meant to go in tomorrow, going in and messing up what I've accomplished. Share this post Link to post

Hubby and I actually got quite a bit done at home today -- cleaned out a cabinet in our bedroom and got rid of a lot of old papers that were no longer relevant. I couldn't get him to throw out everything I thought should go, but anything is progress. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 13, 2020 we only had half our registers able to actually work - the pin pads on two them were down, so we used one of those for cash transactions. the other two registers had working pin pads, but i had a LOT of people using cash, neverminding the sign that requests people use credit or debit, cause it's not as germy (that's not really how it's worded, but it's the same point.) and we need a sign that says no Apple Pay or paying apps on an apple phone. i had a guy insist it was his Bank of America app on his iphone, and as i thought, it didn't work. i've tried saying "only samsung pay" but they'll still ask "apple pay?" so i just default to "no apple pay." and i had someone say it was samsung, so i said okay, and of course, that worked. apparently we can't have signs because we're a training store, but i really want "no Apple pay" and "cash is dirty, use a card" and "wear a mask over your nose too." - i had to remind a few people, and it sometimes makes for interesting conversations.

Posted July 13, 2020 I have no card capability in my shop so I'm constantly alcoholing and washing my hands. The Bahamas is generally way behind the world in that sort of online thing. Heck, they still require you to consult with the hospital you were born to get proof you were born before the registrar's office can give you a copy of your birth certificate claiming you're not registered when you've actually had a certificate before. Yes. Yes, I do live in a third world country with delusions of grandeur. Share this post Link to post

Not quite up to your previous standards, but Bahamians get quite incensed when people imply we could be doing better. People might actually have to - gasp - work. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 13, 2020 Good morning everyone! It hasn't been a good weekend for me. We were informed about a close friend of my mother who had passed away. She is devastated. And then the next day got a call of another close friend of hers that passed away. I feel so bad for my mother. Share this post Link to post
