Absolutely Wild Ngrid bill, dinner out
May. 12th, 2026 08:25 pmI drove out to the construction site today. There are some issues (with an HF Bento that shipped with a wrong part / missing part, and with some vanities) that are in process of trying to get resolution (and still working on the gap in the front LED light on the lighted mirrors). But in general, everything is looking really, really nice. C. came out to the site and it was nice to chat with him. It’ll be fun working with him, and he’s clearly very diligent and motivated and he’s worked on visualizations for the house so he has some familiarity.
It is sad to see NM leave (after his 100th OAC meeting!), but I really like M. who will be stepping up into that role, and I wish NM all the best on his new job over at Smith. He was great to work with. Also, hug! Yay!
JB is off to vacation adventures, so I’ll miss her for a couple weeks.
I got a text from Ngrid saying I had an overdue bill, which was surprising, because I have everything paperless and have redirected all paper mail to my current address. Indeed, a bill for the gate service arrived in paper form AFTER I called Ngrid and collected not one but two new account numbers. Neither of which is overdue, but one of which makes zero sense. Gate one is fine — the “solar” one is mysterious, and has months of charges on it before that meter was even turned on on site? I’ll have to call them and ask them an innocent question about what that canceled electric charge means and why is the number so high and exactly the same as the canceled charge and should they have canceled out? *blink* Perhaps it will disappear overnight; some billing systems are still pretty batch oriented.
We went out to sushi in Ayer at Osawa. We’ve been there once before and it was fine but I’d sort of forgotten because I think we were aiming for a different restaurant but it wasn’t open. In any event, really, really good sushi today, and a Blood Orange Cosmo that was fantastic. Also, the name of the sushi roll was “Fantastic Roll”, and try to remember to order it again. Mmmmm.
