My son was told at DST Systems, where he is interning, that he'll be offered a job when he graduates. Kid is 17. Seems unreal.
When he graduates from high school?? Wow.
C should be headed back to college in a couple of weeks.
That's great to hear!
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

When he graduates from high school?? Wow.
He graduated high school last summer, this will be when he graduates college.
Is he going to college locally?
Yep, it University of Central Missouri which has a local campus. He should get his associates this summer and his bachelors two years after that. He also won't have any debt.

He's been in a really great local program for tech professionals. I feel like it's going to give him a big jump start in life.

Someone sounds like he inherited Dad's smarts, Gudanov.
I don't think so, he's way smarter than I am. He's a literal genius.
So great to hear that C is heading back to school. It has to feel good to have sense of normal.

Cindy - movers load on 1/24 and I start driving out the next day.
So glad to hear that C is headed back to school. COME ON LIVER!!
Wow Gud! That is great news.
Mornings are getting harder and harder. Combo of the easy packing is mostly done, chilly mornings, cedar allergy season, and fewer hard deadlines right on my ass. So, I am giving myself some deadlines - otherwise the last few days before movers will be a MESS.
Today is: sign documents (movers and IRA changes), call HR about COBRA, and mail packages (donation items and consignment used clothes). Maybe also drop off more donations (my trunk is completely full).

Gud, congratulations to your son! That is great to hear.
I'm at the library bookstore while ltc is at school. Not many customers so I'm finding too many books to buy.

Our wings are not tired.
That is wonderful, Gud!
Listen to my number one parental advice - for all your child's accomplishments take full credit for your brilliant parenting - for all your child's failures, that's on them bud, not your fault. ;)

Miley foster dog had a great first night at new home, slept in bed with foster moms. no issues.
I think I found someone who wants all of my Legos and it is someone I know and a blended family with lots of kids who do great political work locally, so I am so happy to basically give them this stuff.
