Done this weekend (20120929 Sa - 30 Su) + update

High-order bit, out of sequence. I got a call this morning from (contract agency) $K saying I have the job at $D!!! There's a slight chance I may be able to swing something at $T, but I'm not going to count on it -- the timing is rotten, and I'm not in a position to take even a medium-risk chance over a sure thing.

I may,

Is Congrats in order? Or am I being premature.

[mdlbear]

Congrats are definitely in order. I *will* have a job two weeks from now; given the timing it will almost certainly be at $D.

That is really fabulous news! /cheers

Congratulations! I daresay that's a big load of stress off your mind.

Yay!

And sympathies over the scooter upset.

I had the impression that Colleen could walk some and uses the scooter to preserve spoons. Would it be helpful to have her walk the scooter in such places? She could lean on it for support, perhaps use its own engine to gently power its weight up the incline, but if she weren't actually *in* it, its center of gravity would be much lower and it would be less inclined to tip?

Not being there, of course, I can't see what went wrong so if this is a silly idea, I apologize.

[mdlbear]

She can walk a little bit -- maybe 70' tops -- with a cane or walker. I don't think she could walk beside the scooter on a hill like that, and in any case is not likely to want to try. She tends to be pretty timid because if she falls she needs assistance -- usually two to three large people -- to get up.

The place where tipping is a real hazard is turning around on a slope -- which of course is what we had to do to get down from there. It was especially tricky because I had backed her down so that one rear wheel was against the wall.
