If I wasn't doing what I am doing now? That's a really good question. Over the years (and no, there's no way I'm telling you how old I am - if you dig around you can figure it out :P ), there have been many ideas, many choices, many things tried and discarded ( Read more... )

 I've kind of put the job thing out of my head for now. There's still a chance I can get it, I just have to be prepared NOT to get it, and I think it's better if I plan for that. I sent out three more resumes last week, and we'll see how they go. With all these other available jobs, there is a good chance that no one else will apply for the other ( Read more... )

 Lately I've been feeling very anxious. I think it has to do with the fact that there are three actual working weeks left to this semester (plus the Thanksgiving break), and I have ONE grade from the five projects I've submitted. Plus the fact that there are still THREE projects left to do in those three-plus weeks ( Read more... )

 It's been awhile, I realize. I've left you all to your own devices and hope you haven't gotten yourselves into too much trouble. What's been going on with me? Let's see - went on vacation and came back. Had a great time, as always. It was nice to get away, even if we did make one trip home in the middle of it so that Boy could play football (it ( Read more... )

 So, I didn't get the job. On one hand, I was upset, because it was a $9/hour part time job that apparently I wasn't good enough for. On the other, I applied on a whim, as a 'just to see'. But still...actually it probably turned out for the best, because the library opens at 8 am, and it would be difficult on my son to get up and ready for me to ( Read more... )

 * The job interview went pretty well, I think. It was short - the librarian and one of the other techs had a pre-printed list of questions and just went down the list. But I think I answered well, to the best of my ability. There are three other candidates, and they said they would decide by the end of the week  - their semester starts on Tuesday ( Read more... )

I know, I've left you all again, to your own devices, to get into trouble. All I can say is I'm sorry, but I've been busy. I started exercising again, which after the initial few days feels good again. I got my bike fixed up, but have only been able to ride once since it's been so dang hot. I don't drop the Boy at Enrichment until 8:50, and by 9 am ( Read more... )

Well, this weekend is busy, with Easter, etc... We ony have off on Friday, because the snow and other stuff has kept us out of school already, so they chopped our Spring Break. But next weekend and the following week are just dog-gone nuts.

*My 20 year HS reunion. Yeah, I'm old, I know.

*Opening Day for Boy's Baseball.

*A reading at the Library of ( Read more... )

Christmas is over. It was a very nice day, overall. Lots of family and food and laughter, which we needed after a long week of rushing and sadness. Boy got a ton of stuff, which I had been trying to avoid but how can you?? Actually everything he got was reasonable and small - mostly books and Wii games and Didj games and clothes and Transformers. ( Read more... )

No, not that kind. She's already done with that. Our "new" kitty, that we've had for six months, recently started marking. Or maybe she's been doing it all along and we just noticed. Anyway, she marks in one particular room. All the websites say take her to the vet to see if it's some kind of medical problem, but I just didn't think it was. She ( Read more... )
