the gainfully employed

I had trouble sleeping last night, tossed and turned.  And woke up early this morning to some yappy dog going off outside.  GEEZ!  Thought I heard my cell phone beep, got up, checked, nope.  Settled back into bed.  Just as I was drifting off, I heard Greenday (dooo you have the time, to listen to me whine…), I don’t think I touched the floor between the bedroom and living room to grab my phone.  It was the staffing agency woman, calling to tell me that I was the top candidate for the job I interviewed for on Tuesday.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Claudia.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and Irwin’s family.  If you need anything at all, please don’t even hesitate to ask.

DYE, BITCHES!

Today Sandy had some of us over to her house for fiber dyeing fun. This was ideal for me, because:
