SUNDAY
Good morning,
Suzu you are an early bird too. My mother had the "pedal part" of one of these - who ever designed this piece gets points as the sewing machine "hides" down and the left board lays on top and becomes a "desk". Keeps dust out of the machine when not in use and space has 2 uses. Someone I know had one - see the hole on the right of the desk for the "belt" to go around the sewing machine wheel and the wheel under the desk (second hole behind machine on right). These were family heirlooms. Where did you find it?
Inside after errands and to do list done. See maybe too many naps and will have trouble sleeping tonight.
Wave to all who follow.1 -
Good morning All ~~
Sara - You got dizzy? Yikes! Take good care of yourself. I'm sure you did the right thing. It's so hard to get exercise in the summer.
Suzu - Oh, that makes me miss my grandmother, who made me clothes on a machine not unlike that one.
Waving to Dawn - How has it been in Missouri? Have you gotten any rain? I remember your saying is was so dry at one point.
Waving to Missy and Kathryn and Tess and Saltine and Tracy in Tenn. and Tracey in Edmonton and Lynn and Canonri and anyone else who stops by later on~~

Hey ladies, I’ve been having work issues so I haven’t been around much. I’m working another job so I’ve been clocking 60 hours and it’s been hard to eat right and work out like that....1
-
Lana- Missouri is on the mend...a lot less rain, thankfully... at least, once a month we have had a stretch of rain... but, nothing like it had been...I have not seen a lot of the flooding.. but, the area I did see is definitely receding..
Sara- be safe in the heat...
Suzu- that is gorgeous! My Grandma has a machine like that...I don't remember it being detailed like that...i just remember being in awe of how it could "hide"
Marselli- hope things get better, soon... hugs0 -

That loud farting sound you heard was me trying to work on the 2nd half of the interview - exercise involving pivot tables and excel - I didnt have phone # for references they asked for and I wonder if I should even bother and email them...... I got there on time, didnt have a car accident and didnt pee my pants - I am so proud of myself, but the rest of it, not so much. I have until I go to sleep today to decide on if they get my references phone #s.
Have an hour before I go to work. Will finish lunch and get a nice cup of coffee.
Lana - job interview was to work for the state prison industry.
Suzu - thank you for the great laugh this morning Vegas and Grasshoppers
Lurking from work.2 -
Sara - I would suggest emailing them the numbers. Acknowledge that the afternoon test was tough - that your current position does not require Excel and Pivot tables, but that you are a very fast learner and would be willing to take some online classes in Excel to catch up. or something like that. Unless based on the interview and the test you would not like the job...then don't
they saw something in our application that drew them to you to interview...so there must be something in that job you would be great at!

I failed the first test, I did not park in the "visitor parking" . I was grateful to get out of there. Thank you Lynn for the feedback.2

TUESDAY
Good morning,
Suzu you are also an early bird. Hope things go well as you pop in.
Finally!! I can open the window and air out the place. I had to last night because my bedroom smelled of dog's food. This morning it is cool enough to hear the dog snoring across the way (window in their place is open too), at least I think it is the dog.....
Have Friday off so short week for which I am grateful. I am having dreams about "the claim I cant fix" it is too much like reality.
I did have chocolate yesterday after that interview and went and applied for a better paying job that was closer. So there.

Sara - We will want to hear more about this closer job that pays better.
Suzu - good luck with your busy days~~
Dawn - I will have to investigate this curious business of the plague in Las Vegas. DH hasn't mentioned it; he must be oblivious because he is still recovering from falling on his pointy head. Not worth the story to tell.
Waving to Meghan and Lynn and Missy and Kathryn (where are you?) and Tess (also seriously MIA) and Saltine in Winnipeg and Tracey in Edmonton and Tracy in Tennessee and Eryn and Runa and anyone who stops by later on!
After I look at the Las Vegas news, I have to go see about the escaped Emu that has been running around Orange County North Carolina. The darned thing hasn't been caught yet, and it's got its own Twitter account. 😂

Lana this job which is closer and pays better is in the same department of the eye candy one I spoke of. I forgot to attach my college transcripts to the first one, made sure they were attached to the second one and kept mentioning all the test proctoring I have done in the questions they asked. With any luck they will ask for my transcripts for the first job I applied for or use the one attached to the 2nd one and consider me for both. Fingers crossed. Both have eye candy cboy recruiting possibilities.

Lana- is the falling on head Karma at her best? Hehe the grasshopper story just gets me... it sounds funny... but, I know they can hurt when they land on you...we try not to take it out on others... but, sometimes, a plague of grasshoppers is necessary
Sara- fingers crossed for closer, better paying, eye candy job... new CBoys are always welcome...
Suzu- hope day goes well!
Waves to everyone on Lana's list...2 -
Tracy in Tennessee here. Been lurking and reading to keep up. Thank you for the waving!
I have been eating horribly for nineteen days--Well, 18, since I haven't eaten and don't intend to eat today.
Nineteen days ago, we had a big meeting that "restructures" how we operate in our department. The restructure was announced without a training or implementation plan in place. I'm a planner, a list maker, a structured person. This drives me wild! Additionally, I was placed on a team of people that I barely respect, don't respect, or downright hate. So off the rails I went.
I went through all the stages of grief and have arrived at acceptance. Today, I begin again. My way of eating will start again in earnest tomorrow. The way I eat is not actually for weight loss, it is to treat my autoimmune disorders (stated for memory refresh and for the new followers.) Weight loss is a happy side effect of the treatments. Since I have been eating foods outside my treatment plan, I am experiencing a lot of pain in my joints, my head, and my gastrointestinal tract.
I have a Girls' Trip August 9th-11th with some of my favorite Moose Sisters. This will be my first-ever trip with friends. I want to feel better and be able to have fun with my Sisters. I had hoped to be down to 145 by next Friday. That won't happen, but I will weigh less than I do today come h-e-double-hockey-sticks or high water.
Today is a new day. Today, I am fasting to try to get back on track.
Thanks for listening!

Lana - does Jordan have the recipe for the "invisible spray" that when used on coworkers makes them go away??1
-
WEDNESDAY
Good morning,
State job opened yesterday where former coworker went and would be a good fit, just wondering as it is working with Victims about burnout. Will at least consider applying.
Cooler temps have window open.
Sup wants our yearly evals early, was going to do Friday but realized I have day off. Evals are not due until end of August. This woman will never know this plush kind of job again so hopefully she retires with the company. I made a note to remind myself.
Food choices are okay even if a little predictable.

Popping in- waves to all. Tracy take care of yourself. You can do this!2

Sara - I think that Jordan and The Boys have a spray that makes other people less annoying: but you have to use the spray on them AND on yourself in order that you care less about how annoying the other people are.
Hang in there!

Sara!
Leandro just appeared to ask if this spray would be helpful. He left some with Miss Tillie over at your Cabana.

Tracy - you hang in there dear! You have done some amazing work, what with losing what you have lost to date. That is something to be proud of. Also, give yourself major credit for surviving this major upset at work; you will turn yourself around and eat right for your condition, and the weight will fall off again.
It is really nice that you have that Girls Trip to look forward to and enjoy~~
Big hugs,
Lana2 -
Lady who works here after hours (extra income) also works at place they posted a State Job I would have a good chance at, so I left a note for her to contact me..... if I have to do as I am obliged I may as well get something done in the way of my next chapter.
Lana-- you are awesome. Love that spray. Miss Tillie will pick up 2 bottles (purse and desk) after her brush down from the boys.1 -
[waving wildly at everyone] seems like forever since I have had a moment to pop in here. have to do some catching up!
sounds like several of us are dealing with a crazy work environment. current company did not win contract. but did get 30 day extension. and they may protest losing the contract. but not sure. no idea if new company would retain us or not. right now, its just wait and see what happens (which is stressing me out) my job, however, has been a bit crazy with tying up loose ends, getting new IDs, trying to keep everyone on task, working 10 hour days....
a good friend we call my "Jeep husband" has been in hospital being treated for a kidney stone the size of a grape! so a few Jeep trips have been cancelled. tomorrow DH goes in for surgery on his ear in an attempt to restore some hearing. that has cancelled more activities.
I have been off track eating-wise since mid May and my weight went up. am slowly trying to rein myself in. last night first night in a LONG time I was under calorie budget. I also walked for 35 min on treadmill last night. if I can just keep that going....

Lana! The place that sells that spray is in SF and prices are not bad.
Wonder if I should start burning a candle for all of us job searching.......
Kathryn, thank you for stopping by - sending good thoughts for DH surgery.
