Updates
Woo, it’s been awhile since my last post. Shame on me, I’ve been a bad blogger. I hate those blogger-types that say, “oh I promise I’ll write more later on and I’ll update and such.” Does anyone else know this problem? Naturally, I’ve been to the gym regularly since my last post and then I see the same dude, doing the same lean-to on the eliptical, and then an older man really working hard, dripping sweat, and looking like death but holding on and thus really not accomplishing anything but sweating. Then there are those people who don’t wipe off their machines, like my husband or sister-in-law. That’s gross! I wipe before I sit on a machine and afterwards.
Sunday was my training for my new job, or orientation as they called it. I was completely dreading it. I thought, “Oh this will be just like my last job orientation with people asking stupid questions and really not listening.” It drives me nuts when the intstructor says something and then a person will ask the same question over and over. The thought of it just makes me cringe. But I was pleasantly surprised when the instructor took attendence and briefly explained what we were to be doing and then said, “I’ll be sending you off on your own to complete this and you have until 8:40 to complete it and then call back into the conference center.” I was extremely surprised and very pleased with it as I am much faster than most people are with things because I skip words, and I’ve always been a fast reader. I finished in about 30 minutes with the entire thing that was supposed to take 3.5 hours! I had dinner with mon mari and cleaned the kitchen. It was a lovely training session. Now I’m going to try and get my mum the same job. The actual training starts on the 21st from 10:00am 2:00pm and goes like that for a month and it’s paid!
Have you ever been in a waiting room where there are too many people? This makes me completely nervous and I just can’t sit still. Mon mari and I went for some routine tests and were in the waiting room for at least half an hour before we were called. I told him that I would be out in the car after I was finished. *Sigh* also makes me shudder.
Nothing else happening around here, other than my washing machine just stopped draining. I hate that, having a washing machine to me is a complete necessity, the dryer however, isn’t. I delt without a dryer for quite sometime. The washing machine is still new, 2 years old, and the drain pump just stopped working. We took apart the entire thing ( geeze was a mess) and then tried to find the issue. I was too afraid to take the pump off because then we wouldn’t be able to get it back together. Mon mari was such a good sport. After that we decided to have a look at our local appliance store to see if we could find a new one, no luck, just the same machine; we like to look at the “damaged” ones, you know the ones with dents that you can’t see or scrapes on the bottom, and you get huge discounts. I plan to go back after a week or so to see if any new ones have been placed in the “dent” room.
Next time you’ll see how a southerne belle and her hubby change lights on a car.
Stay tuned.
