Thread Drift

[Pax]

WHEW!!!!! Things here have finally settled a bit. The job I came back to IL for was too good to be true...after two weeks of 3-4 hours sleep a night, endless meetings with bosses to get the situation corrected, countless assurances of "it'll be okay" and "it's not that bad" from said bosses...I handed in my keys/phone/pager/ID/computer yesterday and said buh bye.

Then I called an old boss and asked if she could use me to cover for the maternity leave of the caseworker who took over for me and she said she'd LOVE to have me back! She also said it would be fine to do some job hunting on company time if things are slow! Sometimes life just works out.

Queen, that sounds good! And letting you job hunt at work is mighty nice.

I'm pretty tickled. I find myself, at 46, being much less willing to tolerate a maximum stress job, I've done it for so many years that now I just want to go to work in the morning and leave the work there when I go home.

annie i found it right after my sister snubbed me and hasn't talked to me since. makes me feel so much better.

Hello All. I finally spent all my money (seriously, now I must be good ) on some cool runing weather clothing, which can double as biking clothing. It took a lot of research (when a budget it tight, shopping is not pleasurable) and I to convince DH that cotton is not a good base layer.

I bought (all on sale): Sugoi MidZero Zoe Knicker, Sugoi MidZero Zip Neck Top, Sugoi MidZero Speedster ( not the greatest colour but for $28.83, I will love it), InSport Women's 5K Short, and Under Armour Women's LS Frequency Tee. My mistake was not buying gloves and smart wool socks. Now I will never get the okay, I promised I was done until the next season. SIGH

Hopefully santa will bring me gloves, warmer socks, and a fleece vest. I also have a HUGE wish list on TE for the boys to choose from. ;-)

DirtDiva-Congrats on succumbing to the force and buying Darth.

Annie- Houdini sounds like the perfect name for your new kitty. What is your costume going to be? Their is a Halloween ride in Indiana we were going to do, but now we cannot due to my fainting.
If you want to make more costumes, my boys need them.

Nanci- I am sorry to hear about Precious Roy. At least he survived, and is well loved. Your daughter should not blame herself, but I understand.

Queen- good for you for getting rid of all that stress! Happy job hunting, wishing you all the best.

Dove Chocolate "fortunes"

There are two bags of little Dove chocolates on the staff table at work. I helped myself <eh-hem>.

My fortunes (printed on the inside of the wrappers) were:
1. Follow your instincts.
2. When two hearts race, both win.

Hmm. Nothing about bicycles.

[chickwhorips]

oooh i love those dove chocolates with the little fortunes in them.

so did you really only eat two? or were they the only two good fortunes?

[Bikingmomof3]

CWR- Santa is me. I have yet to be surprised for Christmas, It would be nice one year to find my stocking filled by someone other than me. Oh well at least I know what I like.

Knot-I am impressed, there is no way I could only eat two.
Very nice fortunes. The second one definitely could be read as cycling and romance of course. Is there any romance in the air?

You have to read your fortune and add "In Bed" at the end...

After lunch I ate more chocolate. Here are those fortunes:
1. Do what feels right.
2. Love without rules.
3. Make a list of your dreams.
4. Dare to love completely.

Now there's a job I want, writing Dove chocolate fortunes!
