It's almost the weekend chat

KATE GOT A JOB !!  KATE GOT A JOB !!  KATE GOT A JOB !!  KATE GOT A JOB !! KATE GOT A JOB !!  KATE GOT A JOB !!  KATE GOT A JOB !!  KATE GOT A JOB !!

Did I mention that Kate got a job ??

She was offered a position as a case manager at a mental health and counseling center specializing in adolescent mental health and substance abuse issues.  I'm so glad she stuck to her guns and waited for something related to her field of study and didn't go to work at McDonalds, which is what Mr. W wanted her to do five minutes after she moved back in.

In other news, if I don't get my haircut soon  . . . somebody around here is going to decide its a dangerous weapon and arrest me.

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!  Yay for Kate!

I am 0:2 this morning, all before 9:00a. Boss got pulled over for expired plates - they should've been renewed in February (part of my job). In my defense, I never got the renewal paperwork. Then I ordered an under-counter refrigerator instead of a freezer for one of our stores. Big difference and not a cheap mistake.

One more screw up and I'm going home. Or to the bar.

Wonderful news about Kate!

Even more wonderful news that it's almost Friday! 

 Will be a screwy sort of weekend.  Off for the weekend, work Monday, off Tuesday and Wednesday and then back to work for Th and Friday again.  Not much point in trying to juggle my schedule....will just miss a few calls next week and get back on track the following week.

Actually kind of nice to be able to take Tuesday off since the 4th will be busy with the parade and then the station also has the night at the ball park for the college league pros, if you can call them that.  It's fun, and pretty good baseball, but man, they drag the games out forever with all the silliness between innings.  Fenway Park it isn't!

OK, time to get moving and be productive.

Have a great day all!

Good point! Set 'em up.

Congrats to Kate on the job and good for her to stick to her guns.  There's nothing wrong with working at McDonalds but so much better to get a job in your field of study.

The new cleaning person is here.  He seems frazzled already.

Julie, congrats on Abbie passing her night test.  :)

 Congrats to Kate!! (I did a similar job many years ago - tell Kate to "never let them see her sweat". I loved that job, the kids can do their very best to unsettle the counselors - its a win for them if they freak her out to any degree. Once they realize she's unflappable they will respect her and the work is very rewarding then.

Bugsy took his baby golden friend swimming this morning. The golden did his first swimming it was very cute. A couple of times the pup hitched a ride on the Beast's back, funny stuff. By the next time we go though the pup will be a better swimmer than B, I bet he's tired of teaching all these retrievers to swim and then have to watch them swim right by him LOL

LOTS of work this morning, playing catch up from mulch madness. Then I have to do a quick clean as we have friends from MD coming to stay with us for a couple of days. I so can't wait until Sunday. I am doing NOTHING!

 is that dog and woman trip still on? 'Cuz DH is an irritable PIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh and Julie congrats on all your work with Abbie!!

Congrats to Julie and Abbie on passing the test too!!

I have a dental cleaning at 10, so just hanging around the house and enjoying a gorgeous and coolish morning.

I don't fully understand the Supreme Court ruling on the health care issue. Good news? I can't tell.

My knee has been bothering me for years but lately it's hurting more and even aching when I'm not doing anything, so I'm going to see if I can get an appt to have it really checked out.

Tina - I hope your day gets better fast.

Absolutely! I'm having a Screw Up drink (thanks, Deb), but you can certainly choose something else. Maybe there's a Men Are Stupid drink...
