Finally got daughter's bed completed this evening after work. Took about 2 hours. Very sturdy and should last a number of years. The drawers aren't installed yet. Those will come later.
Work kind of sucked today. Had a lot of rude people on the phone all day. Only had about 65 cases. Though that does balance out, having over 70 the previous 2 days. The 2 days before that both were held back by IT issues. Still hoping to average above 70 all next week. The sooner that happens, the sooner I can request an earlier shift and go to case rate, which has the potential for higher pay in the same time frame.
I went illegal on the license plate for the weekend. Made a forged sticker and have the plate from the truck on the car. Going to see if I can get the emissions and a legal plate this coming week. For the weekend, the police have announced their fund drive for the holidays. Allegedly watching for drunk drivers but that's always an announcement they'll stop you for anything, long as there's profit in it. My forgery won't stand up to close scrutiny but will hold up from a distance. Hate to do things like this but I'd hate getting pulled over and getting a ticket while doing nothing else but having no or an expired plate even more.
Of course, I need to fix that lifter. If it doesn't pass emissions, have to fix it that much sooner. Maybe best to just fix it before trying the emissions. See if I can do it Sunday or Monday evening. Get the parts this weekend. Try to make things legal as fast as possible.
Daughter was looking forward to the Corrales Harvest Festival this year. However, that is this weekend only. So is the Zoo Boo. Not sure we can make it to both but will try. Maybe do Corrales on Sunday.
Because it's so difficult to drive screws into the cinder block and stucco walls and have them remain, I have to take a different approach to mounting curtain or drapery rods. I'm going to mount wooden blocks above the windows and mount the rods to the blocks. It's easier to secure the wooden blocks with larger bolts and construction adhesive. Then curtain or drapery rods can be attached with regular screws.
