Even wilder and wackier than pre-crash Miscellaneous, the survivors talk about the weather, puppies, work, and coffee.

Today I had a phone interview with the owner of a store looking for a bookkeeper. It's down in Mt Dora, about a 40 minute drive. Not a big deal to me, but it seemed that it was for him! He'll be calling people for face to face interviews next week, and schedule them for the following week. I don't expect to hear from him. :no:
That's not a very long drive. What does he want, somebody who lives next door?
I also put in an application for a receptionist position down in Leesburg for the Community Action agency. Haven't heard from them, but they are still running their ad. *fingers crossed*
Fingers crossed. Good luck with both of them. The Community Action Agency sounds better, but maybe that other guy will surprise you.

The doctor will be back from his 2 week vacation. It is going to be a chaotic day.
His vacation is over, so your vacation is over. :lol:

Have you noticed that the beginning of the year madness has slowed down? Let's celebrate your surviving it :dance:
It's still surprisingly busy. :shrug:

Scott, I made chocolate chip cookies last week. Alas, there are none left. Next time, I'll try to let you know earlier. (right!) :lol:
See, this is why you must check-in more often. I live for real-life chocolate stories :drool:

Actually, there's a Thai massage place down the street from me and I recently found out that my insurance will reimburse me up to $300 for alternative health treatments, including massage. So that's gonna happen. :lol:

When I was at BMC, I used to go for a massage once a month. After I left there, I was less stressed so I stopped going. Plus it's expensive. But since they're right down the street and my job will pay for it....

I had home-working day today, they're trialling a three days in, two out pattern at work. It was fairly good, got a lot done.

Gary are your frogs still 'up and at it'? One of ours got up a few weeks ago, went back to bed, and got up again this week - but the majority are still lying in zzzing.
Sorry I missed this earlier. They've tempered their situation since it's been cold. I'm certain they'll start up again before going dormant very soon.

scottydog I ate a Reese’s Peanut butter tree, leftover fro Christmas, this evening.

Work was hectic, but not too bad. I doubt the rest of the week will be as easy. 🤪

GM.
Is there a problem with your job situation?
not with the work i have - only with the lack of more work to add to it. I am living on £75PW and need to earn around £100 -140PW to live 'comfortably'. I havent been able to pick up any new cleaner-carer-gardener-childcare-companion-petcare styyle jobs and was contemplating getting PT work at a care home - the trouble is, there would be a bunch of pros and cons to consider and i might miss some - so need my 'advisor'...to adivse!
ours too, gary - |i just wondered if frogs do that all over or just here and in other parts they stay up.
well scottydog - i just so happened to bake a vegan CHOCOLATE cake with salted caramel coating of which there are two slices left.... :D

Good morning, everybody. :hello:

I wish it was as hard to wake up as it is to get up. :lol:

Are there places you can advertise for free, like community forums or a pin-up board at the supermarket or something?

Happy Chewsday, everyone :hello:

Today's a heavy teaching day. The Wife had to wake up very early to go to Wash DC for a work-trip today, so I'm a tad sleep-deprived. Hopefully I can catch a late nap around 4:30 this afternoon.

This looks scrumptious! I don't like very many vegan foods but I do love vegan chocolate. :bounce:

The turtles truttled to Tuttle Creek to tattle on Toto's titillating tryst.

Good evening, everyone. :hello:

I hope jgc gets to post. She has an interview with the Community Action Center on Thursday. :yes:

Today they asked me to orient someone. How can I orient someone when I'm disoriented myself? :loopy:

Speaking of Orient, have you made an appointment yet to have a small Asian woman work on your back?
