    I am heading out shortly to drop off resume. I look and feel like a mombie.

  • I've worn the same pair of shorts 3 days this week, they have been clean every day.  I feel sort of gross about it but they are my only shorts that fit.

  • I hate knowing you are going to get sick and just waiting for the cold to show up. I've had a sore throat for a day now and I know the cold is right around the corner
    Whether or not you find your own way, you're bound to find some way. If you happen to find my way, please return it, as it was lost years ago. I imagine by now it's quite rusty.”

  • This is my favorite recap of Game of Thrones, starting with season 3. Spoilers, offensive, NSFW, but hilarious. GoT actors and even GRRM make an appearance. If you don't have HBO and don't care about being spoiled (even up to DwD), this is like the next best thing.

    Zinc!!!  (Like Cold Eeze)  It may help to lessen the cold a bit.
  • This is my first "real" week of being a SAHM (on vacation last week), and I haven't done a damn thing. If I'm not tending to the kids, I've been reading.

    Ugh. Nothing like being told that your education and work experience mean nothing and you may have to lower your expectations and take a minimum wage paying job. Thanks, thanks a lot.

  • Also, I was in a meeting earlier, and whoever had been sitting in my chair earlier left a funk there. Now I'm worried that the funk somehow attached itself to me, and my coworkers are too nice to say anything to me.

  • The PM for the contract I was working on before maternity leave just notified me that they would like to reallocate the funding that was supporting me to an interface programming position and asked if I know anyone within the company I'd like to recommend?  

    So now I have to brush up my resume and start networking to get a job within my job now or I'm not going to have work next month.  This really sucks.

    Vomit. This is the worst. I'm sure you're not funky, though. Funk is just impossible to get out of your nosebrain.

  • I look cute today. I'm wearing an actual dress and my Snoopy reading pendant necklace. Too bad I'm wasting it on work.

  • I'm on day three of a stomach bug. DH is threatening to drag me to the doctor/hospital if it doesn't clear up soon. I may just let him. I feel terrible. I'm staying hydrated but I hate missing work so soon after starting. I do love the reading time I'm getting in though. Silver lining?

  • Also even though it's too late to really plant anything, I'm planning my garden for next year. Finally I'll have my own home grown veggies again! I get them now from a market nearby where local farmers sell their produce but I miss getting my hands dirty and doing it myself. The only problem is when I did it before it was on a very small scale and I didn't do as well as I'd hoped. Hopefully I learn fast next year.

  • I cut our grocery bill in half last week thanks to our garden.
    Trouble is that I'm a little burnt out on squash and cucumbers.
    I'm so excited that the green peppers are starting to make an appearance.

    Your random is related to mine! Ah this makes me so excited. I can't wait to garden next year. I love squash.

    There's a mouse in our department and it's under my co-worker's desk right now.  Co-worker is not at her desk.  My manager is freaking out about it and I think it's kind of funny.

    I happened to see it when I was coming out of manager's office.  Said mouse shouldn't be here but to see Manager sitting on her desk was rather amusing.
