    I have an appointment on my lunch hour today so no time for food, and then I have a double header in Allendale so again no time for food.  Some day I *will* eat again.

    That "some day" needs to be today, m'dear. I know you're busy and probably stressed out, but I'm concerned that you've only eaten two meals all week. T needs a healthy mama! Can you pick up something quick on your way back to work from your appointment?

    You are right, I could.  I am just making excuses.  I don't want to waste money on food I won't eat, but I'm sure I could run through a drive thru on my way back.

    So, I just need to complain for a quick second. Why is writing a cover letter so difficult? I feel like I've revised and revised the one I'm working on, and I'm still not happy with how it flows. It's such a major thing that can either make or break if I even get an interview or not, it's stressing me out. I'm sure my internetting isn't helping me finish it either...that's all, thanks for listening. Smile

    I hate cover letters, too!

    My confession:  I look up samples for similar positions on the internet to get some ideas for phrasing.  I change all of the relevant details to fit the job for which I am applying and to fit my experience.  I recently came up with a pretty good one and have been bascially using the same one with a few tweaks here and there for most of my apps.

    Since you haven't eaten in almost two days, you can handle the 560 calories in a BigMac.

    BigMac it is...considering the salad I wanted has more calories and fat.  Sad

  • We just made a random decision to go on a little camping trip this weekend to visit some breweries on the East Side of the state. :-)

    That sounds like so much fun.  I envy your ability to come up with fun little trips like that.  Everything we plan seems to be a huge ordeal, even if it's just for a few days.  Stick out tongue

    Weird how that works sometimes.  Enjoy your BigMac!

    Things just kind of snowball when we plan stuff.

    Me: We should visit JP brewery this weekend.

    Him: Yeah, let's go to DH on the way.

    Me: Well if we'll be gone for awhile should we just stay in AA at ED's apt.?

    Him: Let's go camping out there instead.  Then we can visit AA breweries Saturday too.

    So now we're visiting breweries and camping this weekend. :-)

  • Here's a random from the weekend.  Before we went to Yappy Hour on Sunday we were walking around at the Chalk Flood downtown.  A girl (our age) came up and asked if she could hug Toby.  Not pet him, hug him.  We (and Toby) obliged but I think he got some slobber on her shirt.

    Aww.  I love doggie hugs.

  • Here are some randoms: 

    We are extremely short staffed today.  It definitely picks up the pace of my work and keeps me busier.  I can't really procrastinate like usual because I don't know what the next hour will look like.  For now, though, I'm all caught up and we have a lull.  It's a nice break.

    I'm wearing Bermuda shorts at work today.Surprise

    I am now waiting for two call-backs.  Yeah that there is more on the burner, but I am super anxious to hear some really good news. 

     

  • ***runs into randoms***

    Gah!  I'm feeling so disorganized and scattered in both my work and my non-work life right now.  Hate that!

    Also, hi! 

    ***runs out of randoms and back to work***

  • I don't think I've ever had a BigMac before.  This is huge.

    Oh my gosh.  So jealousE.  Now I want another.  You'd be shocked at how quickly mine disappeared earlier this week. 

    Glad I could share in your first BigMac moment Smile
