"Egad" all around.

DEAR UNIVERSE,

IT IS APRIL. STOP TRYING TO PULL THIS MARCH SHIT, OKAY? WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE.

And there must be something in the air Etsy-wise because Tep is the THIRD person to have sent me to that vendor this morning, and I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee yet.

DBLOSND

If I saw this on a car in front of me, I'd probably come up with "D blows ND" and wonder how it got through. Unless, of course, it was on a vehicle that said, "Diablo Sound" on it, in which case totally never mind.

Aw, thanks for all the sympathy.

But I do haveta say it's not unexpected. This is a temp job and it's actually pretty gracious of them to give me two weeks notice rather than a "Thank you, we won't be requiring your services after today" as so often happens to temps.

And they said they thought I was super-awesome and all that and even offered me letters of recommendation if I should need them. It's just that they wanted someone with a much stronger HR background with all sorts of certification that I don't have and they don't want to wait for me to get and I understand that.

So, it's cool. It's not SUPER-cool, but it's cool.

That's a bit better, indeed.

I hope you can find a good job or temp job to start at the end of the two weeks.

I'm told if you tell prospective employers you want to minimize down time between jobs, they take notice.

As for the rest, what Windsparrow said.

Totally unrelated, this ICHC entry overloaded both WS and my "awww" meters: [link]

yeah, there was a big brouhaha around here about personalized plates a while back. A guy had one that said "ISLCRK" As it happens, he was president of a corporation called Isle Creek. But, lots of people thought it meant "I sell crack"

That sounds better, MM. Take them up on the letter of recommendation.

Feel better ~ma for Jilli & Kristin.

I'm stuffed up and sore throaty, but I'm dragging my butt to the shower now because work needs my attention. Not that I haven't been working, but work that I can't do on my laptop in bed needs doing. Blah.

The upside is that since I worked from home this morning I boiled eggs so there is egg salad for lunch to look forward to. And my sister is coming over for the weekend to help me get out from under the burden of work. MIL is coming tomorrow, and she will be helpful, but that means I have to do dishes sometime today. Blah again. Double blah because I will get the talk about how the boys should help me more. I think I will have to tell her I don't feel well enough for company. See how I solved my problem there just by blabbing away here...

great idea! Why don't you talk to them?

Hee, because really the people I have know that were crackheads would totally have a license plate declaring it, because crackheads not so logical in the thinking.
