stores ought to plan for this.

bastards.

Or call home, which they left 5 minutes ago, to ask what they are supposed to buy. :mad:

That's because they are ambidextrous and momentarily confused.

they decided to give us a check we can deposit on Saturday. so, yay!

Hurrah!

If you hadn't spent everything you could beg, borrow, and charge, on Christmass presents.... :p

Something made me upset earlier today so I got impatient and yelled at the baby(my nephew). I feel bad about it now. :(

Ouch, that sucks. But y'know. Babies have short memories :P

What's upsetting me is the bloody snow. I am sick of it. I am getting increasingly worried that trains will be disrupted on Monday and that'll screw up my research trip. They're predicting snow right through the week and Sunday night down South. Hopefully i'm fretting over nowt, but my room was booked as non-refundable (months ago) in order to get the discount.

Could any of you guys up in PA please come down here and take yer freaking cold ass weather home to where it belongs? Thanks. Looking forward to summer in Savannah, The Merc.

I hear that.

Actually, my nephew is 5 yrs. old. :p As he always say, "I'm not a baby, I'm a big boy." Hehehe....I'm thinking of apologizing to him later although he may not remember what happened, just in case he does. :p I want him to grow up being able to trust me and confide in me. Yeah, I'm thinking too far ahead.

Dana: I hope the snow stops so you won't have to miss your trip. Crossing my fingers for you. :D

You are a sweet auntie Tulip. I am sure he will forgive you. We're all human like that.

and Dana, I'll keep my fingers crossed!:fingerx:

I went to an interview today. The third one at the same state agency.

At the end the one main person asked me if I had any questions.
Thinking I won't get this job either I asked for a critique. I never usually never NOT get a job offer after so many interviews and I wanted to know of any impressions. Anyway one of the women in the panel said they did not offer feedback after interviews but the supervisor allowed it told me very kindly that they have been up to 200 interviews per position because so many people were out of work. She said I did fine but that was what they were up against.

I knew the economy was bad but to hear the staggering number floored me. When I went to my car I teared up for the first time since being dislocated.
I don't say this to get sympathy because I am alright. It was just upsetting.

Can you imagine 200 people interviewing for the same job?

In this day and age. Yes. Lots of people are in the same boat.

Did you also hear... :mg:
