I´m sorry, h-e-r!

Maybe I was a tad overly dramatic.... Besides it´s just an interview, but since they get a contribution if they hire me now I don´t think they´re gonna pass it up. We´ll see

Edit: Went to the interview, nothing strange. But if they hire me I´ll only substitute for someone who´s sick so I don´t know if I´ll be there a week or six months. Bleh. I hate back-and-forthing. I want something steady, d-it

Well take the job, then *get rid* of one of the regulars. You have the backhoe to bury the body deep!

Rest in peace Robin Williams!

Yes, I will never forget his crazy "Nanonanonano . . ."! Nor his genius turn as the Genie in Aladdin.

The guy was brilliant and always fun to watch, yet never really mean in his jokes (not like some so-called comedians I've seen over the years). His more serious stuff was pretty good, too.

Did he do it himself? He wasn´t too old, right?

He was 63, which to me sounds not at all old. I refer you to the rest of the internet for details. Very sad.

63 is no age at all

So. Apparently I have a job on Monday..

Don´t know what to feel, really. I liked being free but I guess I would have to get one at one point anyway. Might as well be at this place I already am familiar with.

Congrats on the new job!

I get what you're saying about how you feel about it. I have a similar conflict with mine - I love doing it, but I kind of resent the time it takes me away from some of my other favorite things to do.

Never enough hours in the day . . .

mirocu - I caught your post early and just now saw your update. I'm so pleased that it sounds like you'll be back to work - more money for NES & TES & FO and other silly things that only folks like us understand.

Let me echo Rider with a big Congrats!

Congrats, mirocu! Good luck on Monday.

Thanks, guys!

The mixed feelings in no small part come from the fact that I´ll be working for the company that bought us up and put us down, but one can´t hold a grudge for too long, can one? Besides I somewhat feel I´ve done enough at the old place and needed something new now. Bye-bye to 5 minutes by bicycle though and hello to 30 minutes by car

I´ll be substituting for someone who´s long-term sick and what I know this far is that I have til Christmas. I may get after that but I also may get shorter than that, depending on if it works out and when that guy comes back. They may need me anyway so we´ll see.

Just too bad I only got a little more than a year off as I have more stuff I needed to do. Like 3-hour breakfasts and morning walks in the crisp, autumn air...

So, I have just survived the first week at my new job!


T´was pretty good all in all but it really ended on a high note as I yesterday and today got to work alone which is what I prefer. Good crowd and decent stuff to do. Could have been much worse but maybe I should wait before I say too much....

Next week one guy from my last work comes back, he´s been away for three weeks to work someplace else. Him and I weren´t the best of friends so maybe there´ll be trouble. Then again, all the other guys are new so maybe it won´t be too bad

So encouraging to hear that your '1 week on the job' report is a positive one! I hope things continue to go well and the outfit you're working for realizes that every company needs a 'Rocu!

I actually heard some positive stuff today. One guy told me my immediate boss had said it was a relief that someone who already knew his way around this business came along so they didn´t have to get yet another one up from scratch

That's always a plus in any job! Way to go!

It’s the first day of school in Grits World. Both offspring in high school this year. Back to school always reminds me of my favorite things about the season. Autumn seasonal beers! Bring on the pumpkin and spice everything!!

*looks down at our join dates* High school already? Gosh they grow up fast.

What´s so high about school anyway, I wonder...?
