i also stopped by the town building dept office to drop off the plot plan...(note: in an attempt towards sensitivity, the town idiot will from now on be referred to as TI)
mary: (cheerfully) good morning!
kristen: good morning, here is the plot plan- our application should now be complete
mary: (gestering to TI, lowes her voice) you'd better ask him when you will get the permit
kristen: (quietly) oh, okay
TI: (perusing the plans)...hmmm, okay....fair enough...this is official....fair enough
kristen: so this should complete our application
TI: yes, so...you can go ahead with the deck as discussed....(looks over plans again)...hmmm....yes, okay....fair enough, fair enough...where will the dormer go?...okay...yes...fair enough
kristen: so....when do you think we will have our permit?
TI: soon
kristen: (thinking: not this again!) can we start this week?
TI: maybe
kristen: (aaaarrrghhhh! kristen quietly counts to ten while supressing the urge to pull every hair out of her head- she musters a smile) okay, fair enough!
(as kristen leaves she shoots mary the 'i tried' look accompanied by a small shrug of the shoulders....mary was frowning, shooting a dirty look at TI, and shaking her head from side to side) ha! i love mary!
