Although Mar-a-Lago is close to home, but I am good with him getting hit. OF course then it would be all about him and he would make a profit on the whole deal. I'm getting grumpy now.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Oh yikes, I hadn't heard the hurricane had strengthened that much?!
Connie, I hope you are enjoying your unexpected day off (and if it wasn't your stuff, then you should go do something fun and unexpected--lunch? movie? pool?)

My co-worker was planning to vacation on Hilton Head this weekend, and said they're now predicting it to become a Category 4 storm.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yeah, I have enough friends and acquaintances in the vicinity of Mar-A-Trumpo that I can't actually wish that it get a direct hit.
Today I went and signed a CORI application for the Youville House Assisted Living driving (and et cetera -- lots of etc there) job, so if I pass (and it would be really damn surprising if I didn't) I'll be starting in a week or so. Given that I managed to both screw up my father's name and my own address on the application, I think I'm kind of excited about it.

What is CORI, Theo? Hooray for new job!

Timelies all!
Happy Birthday meara!

CORI is a background check that you have to pass in order to work with children, the elderly, basically anybody the law considers vulnerable. Stands for Criminal Offender Record Information.
Huh.. I did not know it was a MA thing:

The status is NOT quo.
Along with Laura, my dad, my cousin L, and my friend T all live directly in the path of this storm, and my dad literally put his house on the market yesterday. I'm really, really hoping the storm veers off and loses force.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah, as much as the thought of Mar-a-lago being walloped has a certain biblical appeal, hurricanes aren't precision events. The collateral damage is too widespread. I'd just as soon see the whole thing move out to sea.

I went out and ran errands I was putting off till the weekend, then came back and went to bed because being out in the full sun on a 90 degree day makes me ill.
I needed to get them done early, though, because the big college football rivalry game of the state is in my town tonight, and the roads are not going to be a place to be.
