Howdy! Miss me?

always and forever.

So I'm a big fan of acting as though all is well with the wee ones.

yeah, when my niece falls, we all cheer, so she's associating falling/getting up with positive reinforcement.

Blarg.

I had three different people offer encouragement regarding an internal job opening. I finally figured out who was the person who was doing the hiring and they have already offered the job to an outside candidate.

I didn't see the internal posting cause they gave it a stupid name that didn't relate to the actual work. The guy who I talked with came close to headdesking when he realized I was interested.

Already offered? Oh, Suzi, blarg indeed.

Suzi, that's headdesk worthy, on so many levels. {{}}

In good job news, the U President has just issued the proclamation that gives us Friday afternoons off during the summer. Of course, since the library stays open, we'll have to tweak the scheduling so someone is here, but free time off!

Now that's my kind of Proclamation! Sadly, that will never happen at my job. stupid corporate world.

Very cool Sparky.

Mention was made of there being the possibility of enough work for another position. And the candidate could always turn down the offer. So, who knows. It is nice that all involved were practically salivating at the idea of me taking the job.

that will never happen at my job

It would never have happened at my old job, either. This place is a little scary because it hasn't revealed it's deep, dark, dysfunctional underbelly, yet. I keep waiting, then I get an email like this and I wonder what the catch is (in my old place it would have been that you wouldn't get paid for those afternoons off, I'm sure) and so I run to the admin person who takes care of us all and ask her to tell me the story again about the nice fellow up in the President's office who isn't out to get us.

I love fairy tales.

Wow, Sparky, cool.

{{Ailleann}} It sounds like he made a real impact, which makes this both easier and harder, I imagine.

Ex. Haust. Ted.

2 hours in Wal-Mart. Emeline now has a Barbie that is dressed in an outfit designed by HIllary Duff. Sadly, they were made for the New! Smaller Boobs! Barbie and not Emeline's stacked-like-the-Library-of-Congress Barbie so we now have a Barbie dressed like Jennifer Lopez. I actually considered using my double sided tape to keep her shirt up. Then I figured, Fuck It. Barbie has been naked for about a month having eschewed her Red Swan Lake tutu. Her ass and her hoo-hah are covered and that's all I care about.

Mind you, this rule only applies to Barbies. This rule will not apply to Emeline when she goes through her Hoochie phase.

I will say this though for the Hillary Duff design - the shoes have ankle straps that are big enough for the foot to get into, but small enough that it's hard to get the shoe off. Go Hillary. Nice to see you thinking about chocking hazards other than your own vomit when you and Lohan party too hard.
