2012 - Day 031 - Very Embarrassing Moment!
Last Update: February 01, 2012

Very Embarrassing Moment!

I do not have telephone service because I could not pay the yearly bill of $20!  But that's just starters...

I was offered two weeks of work helping with a tile job.  The contractor was even going to come pick me up mornings!  It couldn't have been better!  But I committed one of the worst things you can do in diplomacy...forget names and faces of the person you've struck a deal with!

Sad to report, I've taken the time to lay out detailed instructions on where I live and how to get here so he could find me.  I was thankful for the job and being able to help out modifying a new home to suit the new owners.  I had this in yesterday's ToDo list and carried it out.

Then, I did the unthinkable.  I relied on using an FM station to act as the alarm to awake me.  I hate alarms with a sheer passion and resort to being awoken by music.  It works...but not this time...  The FM station drifted and it did not awake me...That was strike three!  The other two, the above...and then staying up until 3:30 am working on my campaign!

I got an email alright...but I had contacted the wrong person who had no idea what I was talking about.  It wasn't until 10:15 am when I awoke to slight static on the radio.  I found the email and just slapped my forehead and sunk in the shame of being so void of prudence.

This will be fixed (without spending too much time on it because obviously, time is not on my side right now having made the above error.  The above now takes top priority in hopes the job didn't start yet.

My WA Spaces Daily Planner & Gratitude and Achievement Journal

  • Gratitude:  I extend my gratitude that I've been able to find the right people to network in life with.  This, by itself has been life-changing and this being said, I seek to show my gratitude by being helpful to others.
  • Today's Top Opportunity:  I was offered a temporary job helping out in a tile job.  I am hoping I've not lost this opportunity, but as of now, that's still not known.
  • What needs to be done today?
    1. Contact the right person I was supposed to get ahold of...apologize for my error and see if I can still help with the work offered to me.
    2. Fix problem with IE on John's computer not displaying things on site correctly.  Also, put John's name on the header of HypnosisTampa.net.  Record a CD for John
    3. Resolve problems remaining with Google+ (my photo is not showing up on About Page.)
    4. Investigate pipe route under sidewalk and through foundation.  Get existing pipe in the ground.  If time, drive bigger pipe under sidewalk, set steak and connect sections together.
    5. Repackage fan parts and put that project up for now.

    4. Repackage the fan parts.
    5. Send Estimate to Michael on setting up domains for him.
  • Plan B (To Be Done Should There Be Bad Weather or Other Interruption)
    1. Work further into the WABinars that can help me with my campaign.
    2. Go through books and store some of them behind AntiNicene Fathers.
    3. Work on clutter which is now mostly confined to the dining area in camper.
    4. Fix the microwave door so it is not so hard to open.
    5. Deep-clean shower area.
  • I appreciate the following Individual[s] because...  Everybody who joined me on the Chat Engine All of these people helped me find some of the causes for my GoPro site not ranking on Google or the other search engines!

What are five things I accomplished today?

  1. Found a keyword stuffed place on GoPro.  Kyle found this.
  2. Michael had emailed me.  I need to send him a report on keywords and how much it would cost to get the domains.
  3. Jay got on with me on the Chat engine and suggested I put the video up to the top from the bottom.  Did this.
  4. Again, from the Chat engine, Got a comprehensive record of that discussion and can use this to improve my site.
  5. Finally got the message I needed to send about tile work to the RIGHT person!

My Task Bank

Solved Problems/Problems in works:

  • Not all of the clutter was done, so carried over.
  • Not all of the History materials of this was done, but not all of it, so carried over.
  • John wants the house pressure washed.
  • Raise $359.88 for a year's membership at Wealthy Affiliate.
Unresolved Problems:
  • Clutter in camper.  Still working on the clutter.  Much of it is now in the cabinets which are now in place and functional.
  • Roof leak in front of camper.  The roof is still leaking.
  • Septic problem.  Run a septic line to the main line from the house and tap into it.  It will cost about $100 for materials to do this.
  • Support for awning coming off.  Take the pressure off it by putting the awning all the way up and reinstalling it to the camper by putting a bolt and nut through however way it can be done.
  • Water heater not working.  It needs to be repaired or get an electric water heater.  There is a four-gallon heater for about $218.  The water heater can be installed above where the bookshelf is now.  There will need to be adaptors for the camper's piping to the conventional on the heater.
  • Broken windshield.  It will cost about $200 to have the windshield replaced.  Someone can come out and do it.
  • Camper will not start.  Not only does the camper need to be started, it also needs to be moved slightly so the tires to not rot.  The battery needs to be tested and then charged if still good.  If not, it's time for a new battery.
  • Auxiliary batteries dead or not charging.  The batteries need to be tested.  They did not take a charge when I tried last year.  New ones need to be purchased if this is the case.
  • Dirty and dusty conditions in camper.  When the clutter problem is resolved I will be able to clean out this camper very well.  Eventually the carpet needs to be torn out and replaced with the wooden flooring I have in the shed.  Outside of some of the clutter cleaned up, nothing else besides the counter has been cleaned.
  • Microwave door hard to open (broken door pull.)  Attach a new door pull to it.  The old one needs to be broken off all the way.  Not yet repaired.
  • Shed needs to be cleaned out.  Any tools, articles, everthing not useful needs to be disposed of.  Not yet been cleaned out.
  • Lawn mower has no place to be stored.  It needs to be stored back where it was and covered.  It is now covered with the mop pail.
  • Lawn mower will not run.  Needs new spark plug and other work.  The carburator probably needs cleaning.  Also the blade needs replacing with the new blade I had bought but never installed.  This has not yet been done.
  • Charging unit in this camper not functioning?  Find out if it is the batteries.  The charging unit may be just fine.  This has not yet been done.
  • Panel for charging unit needs to be put on.  This has not yet been done.
  • AC unit for this camper needs to be reassembled.  Try to get the AC unit working.  It will be used on the hottest days, or at night.  Found the components having been sitting in water on the roof.  It appears they are destroyed.
  • AC unit cap needs to be fixed so it can be bolted down.  Figure out how to fix this so it can be bolted down.  Else it will fly off if on the Interstate or other highway.  This has not yet been done.
  • The water tanks and entire system in this camper needs to be drained and sanitized.  The problem with smelly water seems to have been in the long hose which is no longer in the system.  Though this sanitization still needs to be done, having changed the water line has fixed this problem.
  • John wants some data entry done.  John has someone esle that is supposed to be doing this.  I will do it if this other person doesn't.
  • John wants a new sidewalk put in. Not done.
  • John wants a rubbish enclosure built. Not done.
  • John wants the roof pressure washed. Not done.
  • John wants new shutters put up on the side of the house. Not done.
  • John wants that area landscaped. Not done.
  • John wants the rose garden weeded. Not done.
  • The remaining loose cassette tapes need to be stored in the shelving or in the compartment above the dining table. Not done.
  • All history materials can go into the compartment above the dining room table.  This will be its new home.  This will include cassettes, documents and photographs. Not done.
  • The books need to be gone through.  The less useful books in all collections need to go behind the Anti-Nicene Fathers volumes.  The rest need to go under the table.  Not done.
New Problems:
  • Raise $359.88 for a year's membership at Wealthy Affiliate.  Since this has been ongoing and I have not reported it in these documents, it will also appear 'in works.'
  • John reports problems with AHSMD not showing any content.  There is a big problem with IE not accepting anything having to do with Java namely, the sidebar menu and slider.
  • John notes that his name is not on Hypnosistampa anywhere.
