Monday funday

This weekend, (just Saturday really) was exhausting, and not because I actually did anything that could be considered exhausting, unless one considers sitting around to be exhausting.

The wife and I got our windows replaced in the house in as part of our plan, "make the shit hole attractive to buyers" this is like an eight fold plan as the house (read: shit hole) needs lots of work. You see, the wife and I plan to move out of the town we live in because as I'm sure I may have mentioned before it sucks in a way nothing else could suck.

Anyway, the windows, so the contractors arrive around 1030am and begin the process of tearing out our old windows, something we were told was going to be 100% done from outside the house. This was not the case, however unlike A. Pizza contracting (read: fuckwads) a contractor we've previously  used, these guys used drop cloths over everything, spoke English and were respectful of our things. They worked through the house quickly, and cleaned up after themselves, and were finished at about 4, leaving only a little clean up for TW and I. All and all a positive experience.

So why was this weekend so exhausting? Well when the contractors got there The Dog went ape shit and proceeded to break, not aggressively, at the guys working in the house. Meanwhile Cat 1&2 thought the large gaping holes where the windows used to be were worth investigating, and needed to be monitored and corralled back I to the one room where TW and I were hanging out.

After all is was said and done, we have fancy new windows that actually keep the cold air out of the house. The next part of the plan is carpeting and some new floor for the kitchen.

This morning I was checking my email when the bus pulled up. I got on like I typically do and made my way to a seat, as I did this phone in my hand the driver slammed on the gas causing me to try to keep my balance and subsequently dropping the phone. If you know me you knew that I flew into a rage (though in this case it was kept in semi check)

The rest of my bus trip consisted of trying to figure out what I could get as my new phone, and I believe I am more confused now then I was before. Seems the phone I want, the Google Nexus 4 is only 3G and the Galaxy line from Samsung doesn't have any information about the bloatware that I'm sure is loaded on it. I've toyed with the idea of a windows phone but I think I need windows 8 to make it worth while, and I'm not getting an Iphone, cause fuck Apple.

So what to do, what to do. Since the crack is not awful, I'll deal with it for the time being, while researching phones. I'd like to get something similar to what I have but would rather not deal with a bunch of useless programs that I don't need. The Nexus 4 looked great but I'm not willing to downgrade to 3G, and that sucks, since that was one of the factors that WS keeping me from the windows phone....the other is that nothing I have will work on the windows phone.
