The Week in Review ... ... ... .

and it was a pretty good week indeed.

On the "new do" front, I have yet to make it to all our clinics, but according to our courier, every clinic has heard about my "going aerodynamic" and are talking about it and anxious to see the new do. It has been a successful hit with about 99.9% of the people who've seen it, giving it two thumbs up. The lone dissenter has been an older clerk at one of the clinics who told me she liked my "long, golden locks".

Our supervisor and his boss, the two banes to our existence, were both off again on Friday for the second week in a row. (But not without treating me, Don and Tony like we are 5 years old, by telling us to stay out of trouble and keep our noses clean while they are away.) Its odd, but in the last few years, none of us have have gotten out of control or acted up in the least there, why would we start now?

I got my dishes and laundry caught up yesterday, plus a couple small plumbing projects finished too. I have a couple more home "projects" I'll be working on today, but the house seems to be getting in order, slowly but surely.

At work, we haven't had a raise in three years, due to budget cuts they say and there'll be none forthcoming in the next two years also, due to these same budget cuts. This is bad enough but on almost a daily basis, we see so damn much waste and bull$hit going on around us, that we know the real reason we'll probably never see a raise in our lifetimes there. If anybody out there is like me and looking for a new, better paying job/career, check out the federal job posting site: www.usajobs.com if interested.

I talked with Pam last night and she's doing quite well these days. She's finally getting her stamina back some and has been taking care of her mom and dad every day. She told me her dad called her yesterday to ask her if she would take him up to Virginia so he can take care of some family business up there and she said yes. He said he was packing as they spoke and would call her at 5 this morning. She freaked a little initially but agreed to go, so I figure they should be in the Carolinas by now!

I hope everyones been enjoying a wonderful weekend and that it continues today and all week long! Take care, be safe but most importantly, be happy!

Later gators!
