Barley and other not much news
The place that offered and then de-offered HtB the job called back and offered him two different jobs, one a full time night shift and the other a two day a week day shift. He's just about decided to say yes to the two day a week day shift. He'd be working on my days off, but when I actually looked at it, I realized I would see him more that way than if he were working five nights a week. (Because once you get on a reversed schedule, it's not like you can just wake up in the daytime and sleep at night because it's the weekend. He'd be home, but we'd still each be asleep when the other one was awake.)
Besides, he can keep his job with Grumpy Landscape Boss, in case this job disappears too, or in case it turns out they are jerks and he doesn't want to work there.
Of course, for all we know, *this* job could disappear before he gets to start it too. We'll just have to see what happens.
In other news, I was in the pantry and found a box of barley, and we had this conversation:
Me: What can you do with barley?
HtB: It's really good in soup.
*Silence as we both contemplate making soup in 104-degree weather*
HtB: Do you know what barley looks like when it's cooked?
Me: Yeah! Like little butts.
HtB: ... o_O
