KY- I resisted all unasked for gifts from SOTHTG (SO that had to go) until he sent a BIRD. I named it Cookie, though, after my new BF!

But the bird was a total PITA.

It's hard.

[chickwhorips]

how did you name your bird cookie after your BF? was his name or nickname cookie monster?

[Kitsune06]

1st off- as soon as I get water proof/resistant gloves, (probably even before) I'm going to be COMMUTING! A 11 mile (est. from bycycle.org) or 22mi round trip ride, with a whopping entire *mile* on a trail.

The job is administrative assistant and later, licensed "partner" for a financial advisor. I'm excited. The hours mean I won't really see DGF much anymore, but I'll be making a little more/hr and able to bike... I'll have more 'normal' hours so I can see my friends and do athletic stuff on weekends like normal people do... Oh! and I'll have holidays off (whereas with this job, I was scheduled for all of them. =P)

His last name was Cook, nickname Cookie.

Welll... every job I work is a "big girl job"... (I haven't done the fast food thing for a long time...) But yeah... it'll be interesting, anyway.

Knot, I haven't commented, really, on the dirty laundry, because you already know what I'd say. I just wanna let you know you've got my support.

[Trek420]

congrats to all who got new jobs.

kit, when they call about the background check I won't say where Jimmy Hoffa's burried if you don't tell about that night in Vegas in the hot tub with the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.

congrats to all with dads feeling better. To those of you with Dads, go hug your Dad.

KY, try to use your knowlege of SPAM and lentils for good not evil. Unless the gifts from "someone" are chocolate and a Campy headset...I'd send it back but that's just me

If they are...well you could eat the chocolate and install the headset.

[Kitsune06]

There's always saying "Gosh, thank you so much for your support in my moving on. I really appreciate it!"

...then never respond again. But it'd probably be best and most grown-up to just return them.

Trek- Hey, thanks for your support on the whole Hoffa thing. You *never know* what'll turn up in my parents' yard... :rollseyes:

Kit, I'm happy for you with the new job.

Looks like I'm in for a major job shift. Got told today there will be no overhead for anyone next year (the company's having lean times) and when my major contracts ends Jan 21, I'll be working part time (like 35%) on my one remaining contract. I'm trying to decide if this is a sucky situation or an opportunity. I've been with this company doing the same thing for 23 years and feeling kind of stale. Haven't been writing proposals or looking for new opportunities like I should. I could end up back at 3/4 time by the middle of next summer if some new work we're expecting comes in, or I could fullfill my current contract (which ends 4/09) with part time work and be done with science. This could be my chance to become a bike mechanic again. I've been dreaming of that, and TE has help me get somewhat more up-to-date on bike stuff (even if I do slip and say freewheel instead of cassette, SK). Probably have to wait until spring to land a mechanic job.

Decisions. Decisions. Science. Mechanics. Go hiking for a few months. Take a bike tour. Be a bum. Worry about retirement. AAAAhhhhh. Brain overload.

Congrats Kit!!
and a woman manager too? Good for you!!

Knotted - ***In my best Bronx accent*** Hey, you want I should come over there and kick her axx?
You know she only does these things because she knows very well how to rattle you and yank your chain. She totally expects you to fall apart and welcome her back, which of course your not going to do dear. It's bad for you and bad for SKnot to see you do that again. You already know what to do to finish this once and for all. Be tough!! And then go out and live life on your terms.
BTW, I say use the SPAM for evil. But, just once.


MP and BMo3 - Yep, the Fix-It-And-Forget-It Cookbook is great. That's the one I would suggest. It was given to me by a dear friend when I went back to school because I just wasn't eating properly. Lack of time ("15 hr work + 4 hr studying" days = no time for cooking or sleeping) was the culprit. Most of the recipes taste great.

Snap - Congrats too, I guess?

Yesterday I had a wonderfully fulfilling day at work. Met an incredible kid with Cerebral Palsy and had a great time talking to him while doing his x-rays. Fast friends. Before I got him back to the ER, I asked if I could have him as my honoree at my CP metric century ride on Saturday. I promised to print a pic of me wearing his name on my jersey and send it to him. Floored him. I got a hug and a kiss right in front of the ER nurses.
Today, I had an unusually bad work day. I'm a little depressed over it so I think I'll just stop there. Tomorrow's another day!

Good health and much happiness to you all! (sorry to those I missed.)

-X.

[mimitabby]

well, X, you get the award for the nicest looking post I've seen all day.
I'll bet you really can do a Brooklyn accent too!

I think i'm getting everyone PO'd at me and frustrated because of my questions in another thread. Meanwhile, I'm trying to publish a newsletter which is stupid and hard to do. augh.

No rest for the weary, or the wicked.

CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW JOBS GIRLS

Deb, with your talents I can't imagine you jobless for long.

Haven't heard from KY for a while, hopefully all is well . she sure isn't outside riding!
