Wind did do some damage today. Main frame of the solarium held together completely. However, the plastic sheeting off the frame in a lot of places. So, I have repairs and reinforcements to do in the near future.
Worst part of all of that was that it seriously reduced the insulation properties of the solarium. Before the winds, the house was really comfortable. Today it's been pretty cold in here.
Wind has died down. Hope it stays that way. Long as the wind isn't too bad, the solarium does a lot of good.
Got screwed on renting a car. Hotwire allowed me to reserve a car through Alamo car rental. When I called to confirm the rental, they told me I would have to have a major credit card to pick the car up. So, I was refused the rental. My debit card was charged but neither company would refund the money.
Tried reserving a UHaul truck from a place nearby but when they confirmed the reservation, they changed the pick-up location to a place miles in the opposite direction. Since I would have to either ride the bike or take a taxi to pick it up, I just canceled it. Just going to have to drive very carefully this weekend. At least the feeling I had has diminished a bit.
My 90 day work evaluation was today. It was all good, either meeting or exceeding standards in all areas. So I don't have to have another evaluation until January 2015! Nice!
Today was my last day n hourly pay. Monday, I go to case rate. That does mean I am going to change a few practices. Become a bit more of a hardass. I've been nice about being placed on hold but gradually changing that because of the huge number of people who abuse it. I do have the right to transfer the call back into the queue after three minutes. I'm going to use that right from now on. Can't sit there on hold forever. Also going to pick up extra hours whenever I can. Been keeping a good average, above 70 cases per day. I do have Thanksgiving and the next day off with hourly pay.
