So what happened that I lost my position working for another company that was renting me out from my primary employeer?

Well, here's the 411.

Work 2 said Work 1 owed them money for services. Work 1 said Work 2 owed them money for MY services, which hadn't been paid for since February. So yeah, Work 2's CFO got all pissy with Work 1's Pres, and basically said "Oh yeah, well, if you don't pay us all the money you owe us, we'll just not keep the IT Ferret around"... more or less.

So yeah... that's what happened.

And I still don't know what will happen to me, but pay cut and some more hours at Work 1 is probably coming. And we're talking a pretty decent paycut.

Modem of Issue

My Cable modem decided to start dying good and massive yesterday. My Linksys modem was bought back when CompUSA was going out of business 4 years ago, and was purchased for the mighty sum of 35 bucks. So 4 years old, for 35 bucks? Not bad all things considered.

Luckily,

barragezero had his old cable modem so I ended up going home to fix it, so we could get it activated instead of the replacement modem I got from Comcast. The replacement will go back to Comcast today.

Otherwise, nothing much else of interest has been going on here. Filling out a nice Homestead Exemption App for my house, since it should save me a good 600 to 1000 bucks a year on taxes. So yeah, free money I can put back into principle on my mortgage instead. Woot.

That New Year thing...

Yeah... it's that time of the year, when the year ends and stuff.

I am so underwhelmed right now, it hurts. My accomplishments for today involve getting groceries, complaining about non-furs on the TF2 Furry servers I frequent because the non-furs are like "What's up with all this furry stuff on this server?", having a roach crawl on my foot while playing Killing Floor and thereby scaring me half to death, and playing some Bayonetta.

Truly I'm the master of getting stuff done.

As for Resolutions, I'm going to try to have a better resolution ready by next year.

Dishwashing & Heat

Life's been interesting lately. My dishwasher wasn't working very well, and last week, it overflowed and made a huge mess on the kitchen floor. Last night, the repair guy came out from my Home Appliance Insurance place to fix it. It was a guy from Sears who's contracted out by the insurance, but he got it working, showed me a few things, told me about the evils of non-phosphate detergents, what I could do to make it better, stuff like that. Oh, and he suggested I replace the garbage disposal unit, since it's pretty rusty. I have a spare one from when my dad's kitchen got demo'd. Same model, just a lot newer.

But now I'm not sure if the heat is working in the house. I woke up and the house was only at 66, on heat, and set to be 70, but alas there wasn't more than luke warm air coming from the vents. *murfle*

Back when I got the house, the heat was the one thing the house reviewers said was REALLY good, but for some reason, I don't know if it's working now, or just not working well enough. And I'm not familiar with what to do now. I might try the Emergency Heat, see if that helps, but I'm pretty sure the T-stat said it had turned on the heat strips, this morning, and yet the air was still pretty luke at best.

Suggestions?

PS Edit: Coworker says it might be the fact that it's a Heat Pump and that Heat Pumps suck in general, but I'm not 100% sure.

Quiet ferret is quiet...

Sorry for the lack of dooking from yours truly but alas things have been quiet for me. Snowdrift is settling in as my roommate and my house has more stuff in it but nothing major has come up either.

Still coloring LXF albeit at a slower pace than before. Been playing games as well but nothing exciting to mention. It's been rather just boring overall. I did post a scribble sketch up on FA as well. Otherwise, I just twitter on occasion some random nonsense but most folks do that lately.

So if you have anything to ask, dook at me. Not that I expect much.

So what's been going on?

It's been interesting. Snowdrift, my friend from the Marines, got out and arrived last week. Getting the home set up for a roommate is interesting.

The food goes a bit faster now, but Snow likes to cook stuff up so it's not all bad. Otherwise, I've just been very busy and distracted. It doesn't help when I have a webcomic to work on. I haven't really felt creative lately either.

On the gaming front, I found a new furry miniature game called Brushfire which is 19th century combat with fluffy weasels and dogs and otters and stuff. Think Nepoleon as a mole. I went with the ones with the weasel musketeers, so I got a few figs of the weasels so I can paint them up as ferrets. The game is less expensive than Warhammer 40k so I should be good if I actually get into it. Plus the local game shop is demoing it next month so I might get my weasels on.

Not much else to mention. Doing laundry at my dad's. Snow should be up by the time I get back or I will wake him up.

Salen's Car Update-y Thing...

Got a call from the Dealership this morning. One of my fuel injectors is crapped out because it's leaking, so they have to replace that, and I think they said the throttle body has a lot of gunky carbon build up on it as well, so they're going to remove all the gunk in the engine, put in a new fuel injector, and cost me almost 600 more bucks. *slump*

Woo... *falls over*

Updated Update...

Car's fuel filter & fuel pump are shot. No fuel = no go. But the Caddy dealership has to order the fuel pump since that's not in stock, but should be there Monday. So yeah, I might have my car back Monday afternoon. Or Tuesday.

*sigh* Life likes to be too interesting for my tastes at time.
