That's great. Not that is always necessary, but is nice to know someone else sees good things in you too!

[Kitsune06]

Thanks, ladies! Thank you for your support, too, keeping me from getting discouraged.

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.

[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)

[chickwhorips]

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

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.

Kitsune06 "it'd probably be best and most grown-up to just return them."

It's so much less fun to take the high road and be the grown-up ::sigh:: letting the air out of at least two tires would be more fun or sending back a copy of the letter stamped 2ND NOTIFICATION but ... I'm Trek-never-been-one-for-Bike-drama-420

Duck on wheels arrives Stateside for a brief visit Saturday night, I'll be on call for potential ride from the airport and will see her Sunday for sure.

Ow, I had some moles removed by the dermatologist (don't worry TE TD they are benign) but dayuhm right under the bra. Healing up but a bit uncomfy spot to have it.

Did you know we're all walking around naked under our clothes? According to the doc clothes have practically no sunscreen property.
