anyways I made 3 bucks for eating a raisin lol

HA HA HA HA!!! Yep, why substitute a raisin? Are they THAT expensive???

I would have tasted the samples for $3.00, LOL!!!!!!

She on the back side towards the top near the Starbucks down one of the mystery doors but lord I couldnt remember which . She says anytime you want to another test feel free to stop by but again the problem I would have is finding the correct door then you go down a long hallway and there more doors lol (kinda like those mall bathrooms where you walk half mile down some creepy hallway just to use the rest room) Why do they do that ? I dont need a field trip to go pee!

Good luck on the interview Chi. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Ani, did you get rid of your lil friend in the attic? We have had squirrels in the house on two occasions and they did quite a bit of damage!! They ate the wood trim on the french doors in the dining room and ate chunks out of several window sills. He knocled over everthing smaller than a breadbox and that's the beginning of it!!!! He was trapped for the whole weekend that we were away. Insurance dosen't cover it either. Get him out of there!!

You're welcome Doorway. I forgot a couple.

Doorway - have fun on your outing!

Brian - your suggestions are soooo good (for Sunny).

SQUIRREL UPDATE: have not heard them again and will go pick up some cider vinegar just in case he comes back . . . I just know the cider works better cause it has more of an aroma! SouthBound - thank you again for such a simple solution!!!

Hope everyone is well.

Anyone heard from UNCGdad lately? Where is the guy?

You're welcome again, Ani. You're right, cider vinegar does have more of a "stink" factor.

Yeah, that is what I am thinking . .. but hey - the little booger isn't up there chewing right now so that is a good sign for now!!!

How are things coming w/ the house? Moving along? Can you give us any updates?

ok, guys, the interview is over (literally). they are looking for a government u/w which I have not done in many, many years. they are not willing to train or refresh.

oh,well. that's ok. still made a contact and she asked me to send her my resume for the future.

Oh, well. Not meant to be - but nothing ventured, nothing gained . . . and you never know what the contact could mean on down the road . . .

Plus, interviewing is a skill - so it is good to do interviews to keep you on your toes!!!!

Hey Everyone...

I am posting on my lunch because with all this downsizing crap, I don't want to give anyone any reason to get rid of me too. I am slowing getting back to myself since they laid-off my co-worker. It is so tense here though, everyone can feel it. They are restructuring how everything is done and dispursing the work that needs to be done. I have had several things taken away from me and several more added to my plate so today is a difficult day...just until I get settled into my new routine. I love to be busy throughout the day because it makes the day go by faster so the more they give me, the better I am...I think that I am a work-a-holic...but that's a good thing, right?! (lol)

My oldest son is going to be in his first Karate Tournament on Feb 7th. I can't wait. He is so excited and so am I. I was watching him at practice yesterday and he is really good. My daughter is auditioning for Narroway on Sunday for their plays. It would be nice if they have something for her because she hasn't been into much since we got here (except for her friends) because we haven't had the money. My son's Karate class is free so that was never an issue. This narroway thing is free too so I hope that this is something that she can get into....FREE is the magic word for me.

How is everyone doing today? Chi-sorry about the job interview but everything happens for a reason and I am sure that something better will come along. If you had gotten this one then you wouldn't be available for the something better when it comes your way...lol. That is what my godmother always taught me growing up and God only knows that I truly beleive that it is true. Have a great day everyone!

Wow! That was a big mall. I only spent $32.

Chi, exactly what do you do and what was the job you interviewed for about?
