If you get on it early enough in the year, like February to March on a lot of places. Lawncare companies will put out some really good deals with the hopes of roping you into a service plan for a full season. Last year my neighbor got his yard power raked and aerated for 75 bucks I think. My front yard died again over the winter, so whenever the snow melts I'm gonna kill everything (weeds etc) and either rock it over or plant some sort of low water ground cover. I'm really looking at a product called dog-tuff grass, but I haven't had much of a chance to do research on it yet.

I ran into a guy I had been friends with all the way through middle and highschool standing outside walmart. I hadn't seen him since I enlisted in 08 and didn't even recognize him until he started waving at me. We hung out for a few minutes and he tells me he lost his job and is homeless now. Wasn't expecting find out anything like that while I was getting groceries.

Put down a whole lot of corn gluten to stop the weeds from germinating, then kill them all with horticultural vinegar. Only bad thing is you would have to use plugs or turf if you wanted to replant your yard anytime in the month after putting the corn gluten down.

Dad chat--home repair: the dipshit subletter I have put too much weight on a coat hangar that was screwed into the wall. A small chunk of drywall was pulled out. You guys got any advice on how to patch this up? I'm doing it on my own lest the property manager finds out and charges me out the rear end for it.

Speaking of, I will never have kids, but landlord poo poo is pretty dadchat, right? So I put most of my blood money contracting warbucks towards a rental house. Had a renter for two years who was kind of a doofus and always paid in cash. His lease ended at the start of this month and he moved out without paying his last month's rent, and also left the place trashed to the extent that my homeowner's insurance adjuster cut me a check for $3.1k for vandalism damages. And that's after the $1k deductible. It gets better/worse. Found out that my renter had been using his buddy's name with me the whole time. He used his buddy's name to pass the rental background check and sign the the lease with. Whether or not his buddy was complicit with this I don't know, but I'm leaning towards yes. I already gave all the evidence of this identity fraud to the local police, and I saw a lawyer regarding what I can do, so this isn't some meaningless whining E/N post. Action is being taken. Just wanted to give a heads up, if you rent to someone, get multiple forms of ID from them and inspect your place regularly if there is any doubt at all. Thankfully all of the damage is repairable, but it's going to take some time.

Coworker tried to call me five times at 4 in the morning and then beg me to come in early so he could get the day off, then he had the nerve to say "we're supposed to be a team man  " when I told him to knock that poo poo off. I thought age=maturity

Our overtime is just a signup sheet, goes by seniority and how much you've worked. If you want it, cool. If not, gently caress it someone else will do it. Only time I get forced in is 4th of July and stupid poo poo like Occupy.

My boss and my team are all really cool people. My boss in particular seems to be even more ruthlessly protective against any tomfoolery since her return from maternity leave. Must be a power mom thing now I guess. I don't get overtime but I only have to bill out 40 hours a week, so I can spread out my time whenever I want. I also get 15 hours a month of PTO that I get yelled at for not using periodically.
