GM~
Awkward exchanges yesterday with my boss (she's socially bankrupt; spectrum dweller). T-Minus 3!
IBM interview went great! Expect to get offer soon.
VA appointment this morning. That always ratchets up my anxiety.
Student presentation for his doctoral research later today. VERY proud of him!
Hopefully a miller lite at the end o' the day!

Mornin' BBB
Who is doing the doctoral research presentation?
Good to hear the last interview was encouraging. Didn't Dennis used to work for IBM?
Happy belated ….wait, wrong Sam.
So sorry about your Emmaus group member, Dennis.
Those dermatologists, alway digging deeper.
Cecelia could be right about the sandbagging. Since they need to go to the collar, did they say he will need to stay longer? If they do the collar conditioning the way we do it in the gundog world, it is at least a two week process and it is done at very low stimulation levels.
Steph, looking at dual citizenship?
BBB OP ;-)

Good morning BBB Friends.
- I got to sleep in a bit this morning after too many days of getting up early. Got great sleep scores.
- DW is coming home from her 3 day trip this evening.
- I spent most of my career and retired from HP. I then spent another 7 years with Dell working close with an IBM program team. The State of GA outsourced all their IT to IBM which no longer had desktop capabilities, so they subcontracted them to Dell.
- Interested to hear about your potential role Skip.
- Sounds like Leo is at boot camp. Did they shave his hair and make him wear a uniform? He'll be sharp at graduation, I'm sure.

Morning gang
Yes we are looking at mexican permanent residency. Mostly so we have a back up country to stay if we need to be close to the US, plus we really like it there. Our health insurance only allows us 6 months a year in the US. And technically mexico only grants up to 180 days on a visitor visa…that can be pretty lax depending on where you enter.
This seems like a good time to do it since we will be in the US this summer (the process starts in a Mexican consulate in your home country) and plan to go to Mexico this fall. The second step happens in Mexico.
It's been pouring rain for the better part of 20 hours. We really need to get coffee filters(which might be hard here) and a rotisserie chicken so if it doesn't clear soon looks like we will be shopping in the rain.

Good afternoon
Fingers crossed for Skip getting an outstanding offer!
I'm picking up 2 purple ivy geranium hanging baskets after work. My first 2 of my porch plants. A bit early in season here yet. Night temps are still in the high 30s to 40s. But I want these purple ones that came into the garden center today.... I bet the ate at least $60 each this year?
I'm taking pto tomorrow to watch dgd whoohoo!
Hope Sam and dw continue to improve 🙏
Leo situation is bound to improve, hopefully it's not like raising the price then offering a discount....
Be well BBB
