Well, I have had an interesting week. On Monday, "the new person" started and lasted until Friday, 8:30 and then quit. Another person, male this time, will begin on the 20th, or at least that was told to me late Friday. I get to do the "training thing" again, oh boy. The person originally hired was hardly qualified for the position and had the brains to quit before things got too far in front of her and behind me. I am still leaving on the 29th of Feb. Why does all this not surprise me?

The new tenant is really sweet. I am keeping my distance until spring....when we can spend time outside and chat freely. Heather, the new tenant has a little dogie, really sweet guy.... she smokes(the person, not the dog).....sorry, if that offends anyone, the smoking thing.....and since I smoked for years, years ago, I can hardly say its wrong.... She smokes outside....on the porch! Oh well. Lots of folks smoke. All things considered, she's a nice person....and I love her little furry friend. Lucy is not impressed.

I have interviewed for the job I have wanted from day one (working for an import export company, that deals with vet orthro implants imported from Germany and Japan....) of making my career change. I think I have the job, but don't want to seem tooooo eager to work there, and make a pest of myself. During my interview, I said that I really was interested in the job. I got the impression the interview went smoothly. It is a business in the same town I live in, thus allowing me to travel less than 2 miles to work. I am not sure I will call them again, if they don't call me. I will need to move on with the job search if they are not "business like" and let me know their thoughts/feelings about hiring me. We have emailed and chatted and interviewed. What more could I do. My current boss (the managing partner) knows I have listed her as a reference and was evening will to call the company, to recommend me. Wow. I know the managing partner has a motive, so I could care less about references or not from her.

I have "re-ignited" my knitting business so that I can pay for group health insurance via the company. I have a meeting with my accountant on the 21 to discuss the mess and the positive way to deal with my expenses.

It is snowing like crazy right now...and I have dinner plans...so I must run.

Just wanted everyone to know that things are ok. A bit scary, to think that I have only three more paydays, beyond this past Friday. And then, to the positive side, just that many more days left at that awful law firm. It is torture working there now. But they pay me nicely. I feel like a prostitute.

And my Mom is thriving. She is enjoying having company 24/7. I just knew she would be fine. I am thrilled, to say the least.
