Paint this time. Oh I thought I had finally gotten the paint thing down. It’s oil based primer inside and out, it’s latex on the walls and siding, and oil based for the trim. I chose flat walls and semi gloss trim. But no, now Joey Helm tells me it’s latex all the way. And K says it is high gloss for trim. And last month during one of these circle jerks I went through the house and threw away every bit of latex trim paint cans there were – because people were bringing the stuff in themselves. And now we’re back to square one. Now I’ve got one half the house with latex trim, the other half with oil based trim.
As Joey brought the paint cans out to Blue, I caught my contractor sitting in his truck next to mine eating a taco. Joey, I said, explain to S what you were just telling me.
Oh yeah, I knew that, S said, casually eating his taco.
It’s an endless mindfuck – they are fucking with me – this isn’t paranoia – really – they just want to see how far they can push me before I snap.
