Sweet, I just found out that our 9 hour days are actually going to be 9 hours long, not nine and a half like we were all assuming (our current 8 hour days are 8.5 because we are required to take a lunch even though we don't clock out) Everything's coming up -t.

Allyson Day!
I'm still annoyed because there was no aerial photography of the March here because Trump was in town which grounds the aircraft that use small airports.
My son has his first day of work for the huge corporate entity today. He has a full month of training before actually being placed at his station. My only advice was that when they train him to do something in 10 awkward steps and he knows it would be more efficient in 3 to just consider for a moment that with more than a couple hundred thousand employees all over the globe and 40 years experience they might know how they want things done. His response of course was that he would have a better way because he is always the best wherever he works. I chose to speak frankly and point out that the one thing he doesn't seem to excel at is keeping a job, so try just following instructions. Yes, my nice mom days are apparently over.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Allyson!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That seems like the best advice, nice or not nice!

That's amazing!

Good advice, Laura. Good luck to him.
I was coughing and sneezing when my boss came by to discuss the 9/80 thing so now I'm pretty much being sent home. Which I am fine with!

My toe is elevated and vaguely sore, which is a big improvement over OMG PAIN I DIE NOW. I can't wait to see what it looks like when I get to change the bandage later today. (I assume it will look like a toe that has seen some shit.)

No word back from the job.
Should he call after a week? He did not get a card from the interviewer to write a thank you note. Are thank you notes expected for fast food job interviews?

I wouldn't think a thank you note is normal in that situation.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

LOL sigh.
