Did he phone his manager who reluctantly agreed to let you have everything at below list price and his job was in danger when he got back and he's got a young family and a mother with dementia who needs care and he doesn't know how he's going to afford that if he loses his job due to the deal he's just backed his manger into a corner to agree to?

Not far from it actually. But he did quote me less (on the third or fourth 'discount') than I was expecting to pay, so I'm happy enough. Relatively speaking. Who knew I knew so little about windows? Who knew there were so many pointless bloody choices you could make? Not me.

Never much fun. Is it your decision to start looking, or is it something you've no choice over?

*scratches head*

I just wanted windows. Definitely see-through ones, probably with white frames. I didn't know what a 'side-vent' was, nor had I so much as dreamt that 'dummy vents' even existed.

My couch is still available, and my cleaning demands aren't that anal.

(my anal demands are not particularly clean, however)

If Ellie doesn't take you up, then I might be interested...

Chip's been messing about on a Powerpoint presentation all night.

Did you get to first base?

I hate PowerPoint. The more you tinker, the more work you put in, the worse it looks.

(Hope that makes you feel better Chip.)

Texting my panicked ex-girlfriend in Oklahoma City. Tornadoes are bearing down and have already killed people 4 or 5 miles away. You can hear streaming audio from the local police/fire departments as victims are being rescued and roads are being cleared. Just heard one cop report that all the glass was blown out of his patrol car and it was destroyed by flying debris.

Chip's chilly.
