Shillelagh spun a FINE 'yarn':

Sorry you thought I was being bitchy, Shelagh, I wasn't! I was being PRACTICAL, when you're being paid to do a job, it's prudent TO get it done in a timely manner, otherwise you're not MAKING money. Look at it from YOUR end, if you were paying ME X bux an hour, wouldn't you prefer I get it done in a week rather than a month??? Now, from MY end, if we BID the job at X bux for the total job, if it takes a week, we make x bux and hour, if it takes a month, we make x CENTS an hour... Kapeesh? Noreen

i didn't think it sounded bitchy. i thought you were teasing. obviously you have more redecorating experience than most people, so you *can* get things done faster. :) some people, like me, get sidetracked easily... or in the case of my kitchen, get really interested in trying to figure out the ages of the different wallpaper layers... lee

Thanks, Lee. I guess I just rub our Shelagh the wrong way no matter what the subject is. Ah well, it's a big world. :D Noreen

She had to put out the fires the "professional" floor sanders started, clean all the sawdust out of the entire house because they hadn't properly taped up the doorway, shop and feed the family, do laundry, work on her next book, wait for paint to dry, move furniture, and prepare for her book tour, which did include some knitting - after all, that's her day job.
