The topic: I hate it when days start off like today

----------------------------------------------

Turn on the computer. Turn on the cameras. Brian does his situp exercises, comes in and starts up his computer.

The electrical starts going nuts. On. Off. On. Off. On. Off. Just here in the office.

Turns out something's sparking in the electrical panel outside. He checks the breakers, still sparking. It's coming from the ground strip (probably 3/4" wide, 4" long with screws in it and the ground wires attach - the electrical setup in this house makes no sense at all). He turns off the power and tightens all the wires. Turns power back on. Sparking stopped, so it probably was a loose wire.

Come inside, turn stuff back on. I wasn't in front of my computer when it started to boot up. It didn't, it was running a "startup repair". WTF? I ended up manually shutting it down (holding the power button down for ten seconds) and rebooting. I had the choice to start Windows normally or go with the starup repair. I booted normally. Everything's okay. Whew.

When the power went out, the two range extenders for wireless internet crashed. Since our home phone line is on one of those, I had to reset that. Then I had to reset the one in the living room that runs the Roku and wireless devices in the family room. Of course it didn't go smoothly. Very frustrating.

Brian made breakfast (eggs and English muffins) and asked if I'd seen the mail he sent me (no, I've not been on the computer, I've been busy doing other things - geez).

There's a potential customer who's quote is over three thousand dollars. He asked for a quote on company letterhead to turn in to the company, but don't mention tractors. Okay, hinky, right? And then he said to send two quotes, get one under the three thousand mark, then do the second one for the balance (he'll pay that one).

I'm working on the first one, asking Brian to double check my numbers. They're wrong. He says it's added wrong. No, the QuickBooks does not "add wrong". There's something different.

I tell him the numbers I've got. He gets annoyed with me. "I didn't send that number!" he tells me. I have him look at the email. Yep, he did send me that number. "Oh, there's two, I guess I sent the wrong one".

Fuse is getting short. I took a Xanax before I hurt anyone.
