La.

A happy belated (very belated) birthday to beldar, whose birthday is also International Talk Like A Pirate Day. I am sure that this is not coincidence. Also, I hope you got a pet monkey this year.

Work has tapered off over the past week or so, but I'm not complaining because it's nice to have something easy to do. Also, this time of year you expect to see things fall off; winter is the cruelest season for the lot of us. I'm fortunate because I cover a much wider geographical area than most independents in this area.

Of interest to ukekenshin: ukelettes might want to log onto How Stuff Works, as there is an article about black holes, and sundry other fascinating things. (There is apparently also an article about "how creationism works", but being both non-literalist and the daughter of a scientist, I am firmly of the school that creationism doesn't work.)

Also, a PSA: If you bought your house on tax sale or sheriff's sale, this is dubious at best, but if you then compounded it by trying to do your own title search and have absolutely no idea what you are looking for or why, you are a fucktard and deserve whatever misfortunes come to you. And no, I will not tell you how to do my job. It is not something you can learn in fifteen minutes on your lunch hour. Thanks so much for understanding!
