I got ambushed by another Attack Nap, which makes waking up when it's 7:01 on the digital clock and quite light a little perplexing for a few minutes. Happily, I did not oversleep on a Monday morning.

Posting makes it happen. He is done. All went fine. He starts Tuesday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good for Mac!

Yay! I still can't get my son to dress decently for work. You'll be shocked to know that he assumes since he is so brilliant they won't care how he dresses. Sob. He's working. I'll take that as a win.

Yay, Mac!
Not much made today. The only thing I reorganized today were my Netflix and Hulu queues. And I washed the shower curtain and liner.

Wow. If I do a image search for hubris I'm going to find his picture, aren't I.

Yeah, pretty much. I did find it encouraging that he posted on his FB page about his job. When he did the internet search on what kind of a place it was to work he found a lot of reviews that said it wasn't the place to work if you were white. He decided that if that was the case then he would be outta there in a week. His review - "Turns out they were just racist morons, I must say, few months in now and I'm enjoying my job immensely and my predominately black supervisors are not even remotely racist as the reviewers would have me believe."
It looks like it will work out. He is enjoying the work, and has made a number of friends. When I pick him up I see him exiting laughing and engaging with his fellow workers. He does chat support for Sprint billing so he doesn't like Sprint a whole lot since he sees the worst. But he seems to like helping he customers and being appreciated. Since he is in the chat room they have music playing which he enjoys.
He finished training early, finished his monitored probation period early. They pretty much give him unlimited overtime so his manager must like him. In his 4th month, which is like a record for him. All digits crossed.

Let myself sleep in until 10. Lovely.
Brother gets in at 8, so it's down to what can I do on the next 7 hours of cleaning / organizing that will be the best.
- mopping
- scrubbing the fridge
- clearing stuff off armchair
I think are the top of the list. Mac has been charged with his living room.
And I also need to pack.

Good luck, msbelle!
TCG slept until after nine, at which point I had to wake up ltc who wanted to stay asleep. This never happens. Meanwhile, I woke up at 8 and read for an hour in peace and quiet. Blissful. I really should clean or organize something today to keep the momentum going. We were going to garden today but it's lousy out. My joints are hurting as well.
