Setting Records Straight

In her post entitled "Hello World" Jeri said nothing but the dessert and bread turned out. I beg to differ. Everything she cooked that night was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and conversation.
 
I got bit by a dog on Friday. Every time something like that happens I decide I'm really going to change jobs. Dad and I were delivering a portable storage building and the customer's dog ran up and bit me on the behind. I whirled around and shouted, "He just bit me on the butt!!!". The owner simply smirked and walked away, putting the dog in another area. His wife only buried her head in her hands and later disappeared. I was so angry! He never apologized. In fact, he never uttered another word to me. I'm going to make sure there is a note in the lease/rent to own file indicating that there is a biting dog in the yard, as a courtesy to the poor chap who has to go reposses it in a few months. If I had had something in my hand, the dog would have been lying on the ground.
Today, a few of us climbed up in the attic of the church and repaired the air conditioning ducts that had been crushed or filled with squirrel or rats nests. Now, we'll be able to have insulation installed and thus reduce our electricity and gas bills. It was so very hot up there, but we were able to get it done. Our clothes were soaked through and through. We have some really great guys who are willing to roll up their sleeves do whatever it takes to get the job done. We had a great time, in spite of the unbearable conditions.

Tonight, after a brief swim, I made plum jam and Jennifer cooked up a delicious squash and zucchini casserole of sorts. Now, we're just relaxing around the house and I'm catching up on your blogs.

Yes, if you weren't such a good person, you would sue the dog owner.

My "good person" got eclipsed by the "bad" one when I whirled around with fire in my eyes and shouted, "Your dog just bit my butt!!!" at the owner. My dad just stood there wide-eyed in amazement.

I'd definitely report that biting dog....AND it's owner! Some people just seem to think that pet ownership is something that they can take lightly....and then "blame it on the dog (or cat)". Nope..that's not how it works. Glad you were okay. Don't envy you the attic work. Not something I would be jumping up and down all excitedly about doing! Stay cool!!

We were jumping up and down about the savings on the electric bill that should soon be reflected after our work.

Be sure to report the dog bite to the police dept. That needs to be recorded. I also worked in a hot attic yesterday helping my SIL (Nate) clean out the junk in the (moved) house. We took out a window to toss everything out. Miserable job.

If I report it, my dad could stand to lose a lot of business, as we do this as independent contractors for the financiers. Bad situation. See my reply to troutbend.

I am really afraid of snarling, biting dogs. The only thing worse is a snake that might bite. I assume your tetanus shots are up to date - when you went to Mexico you probably got a lifetime supply of shots.

Interestingly, we didn't get any shots before going to Mexico, but I think I'm fine regardless. I spoke with the financiers today and requested they include a note in that customer's file so that when someone has to go repossess the building they don't get the same surprise I did. It almost certainly will be repossessed sooner or later.
