I don't really know if any of this is blog-worthy, but here are three thoughts from earlier that pretty well sum up my day.
1. Something you never want to hear from a repair man, "This really doesn't look up to code." Tara and I had our dishwasher replaced earlier today and the installer took one look at the makeshift way in which I wired our garbage disposal into the old dishwasher and uttered the phrase "I can't touch that, it really isn't up to code." Needless to say he installed the dishwasher, but there's no power to the disposal.
2. Ever get one of those annoying calls, you know the ones where you check the caller ID and let the phone ring. Okay, I know we've all been there. Now, how about when the annoying calls you keep getting are from the U.S. Census Bureau? Don't ask me how we became so lucky, but we've been targeted to complete a random survey for the Census Bureau. They sent us some paperwork about a month ago to fill out, and like most things that look like junk mail we threw it away. Not so fast, a week or two later another packet came, this time with a bolded message which stated, "Failure to complete this survey can be punishable by law!" So now the Census Bureau is starting to get my attention. We have been working on the survey for about a week, but it really isn't a very high priority. Well tonight I received 3 calls from guess who? Who would ever believe that the one time in my life I've been hounded by the Government it's for failing to comply with the Census Bureau. That doesn't even make for an interesting story. Sorry!
3. After being out every night this week with either work or church I couldn't wait to spend the evening with Tara and Kennedy. About 3 o'clock this afternoon Tara left me a message at work.
Jared, my sister wants me to go shopping for a few minutes this afternoon. We're only going to one store, so I should be home early. I'll see you when you get home.
Okay, for all the guys out there. What time do you think Tara got home tonight? I've got a 7 o'clock, and who'll give me 8. I've got eight, and who'll make it 9. Going once, going twice, sold to the man you said 9:15. So much for being home early. Oh well, what do you expect when sisters are getting together to go to one store.
Well that about wraps up my Thursday, so how was your day?

Had the same problem with the census. When I talked ot them on the phone they said they had sent me some important info and it must have been misplaced. Yea right in the trash. Finally I just did the phone survey to get it over with.
