I started working for an environmental engineer just this Monday. I already love him. He uses colorful language (like me!) and I feel so at home .
I like it a lot. He's crazy intelligent and very easy-going. It's a totally different world compared to obstetrics and gynecology, but I've really enjoyed this first week. I kind-of landed the most ideal job situation, ever. He travels all of the time and I hang out at the office by myself most of the day and leave whenever I want. He's basically said he'll pay me for up to 40 hours p/wk, but as long as his books and bids are up to date, I have free roam. He had me at "I just called Wex. Here's your fuel card." It was sheer luck, and I'm the person on the opposite end of the lucky spectrum.
He likes to say "fuck" a lot in normal conversation. It's pretty funny.
That is awesome, mcmama. Congrats!
I'm eating freshly caught fish that is so fucking good, especially because I didn't cook it. I would have fucked it up. Cooked with lemon and a tiny bit of butter, it's to die for.
I'm staying at my ex's again. I was here for a few weeks in early Spring, and his new next door neighbor has kids that know no boundaries. They are out alone on the street, and even though it's a dead end, cars still go fast, and these kids are young. I caught one kid throwing rocks at my ex's boat. Another was lifting a puppy up to the windows to aggravate his dog. The mother tied their dog out in the backyard along the fenceline, and it barked all day. I had to close the windows. Well, now that I'm here again, I have been outside a lot with my music player on and hardly hear their dog. I usually don't allow dogs in my control to bark excessively, but I let my ex's dog bark back at that dog until the lady brought it inside. Through my music player I heard her slam her door just like I slammed the windows shut in April. It has been relatively quiet since then. I had the biggest smile on my face when I heard her door slam. She was pissed.
2 quick things. My ex texted me to say he is going out right from work. Yes. This morning I heard the neighbor's dog barking like crazy inside the house. Yes. Things can get better.
Getting a car wash from a giraffe. Made me feel like a little kid.
If it hadn't been for Cotton-Eye Joe
I'd been married long time ago
I get to do online training from home for the next 3 days on a topic I find interesting and do not have to go outside in this 90+ degree weather! I cannot explain how extremely happy I am to not have to commute to work in this- if I use the air conditioning in my car it'll overheat plus it constantly blows in hot air from the vents.
My car A/C just crapped out last week. The air that comes out is not cold, and a friend is going to try to put freon in it. I'm in CT, and it's going to be a brutal week with the humidity for us. Glad you can work from home, especially on something you are interested in. I'm losing weight rapidly from being outside constantly and hardly eating.
When I took Jett out the back door yesterday I saw a big blue beach ball in the yard. The brats next door must have accidentally hit it over our fence. Jett ran towards it, and before I could get down the deck steps I heard a loud pop. Oops, Jett wrecked the ball. Other neighbors told us one of those kids has been harassing my ex's dog, so I was very pleased with my dog. Payback's a bitch, a lesson best learned early in life.
Just got called to do a market research study for a $175. Not bad for spouting off my opinions for an hour.
I'm pretty sure every city has them, just google "Market Research" and your city. A bunch of places should come up and you can fill out forms on their website, then they'll call you if they think you're a good fit for a study, and if you qualify BAM! free money.
If you're not near a major market, you're better off looking for online ones. No need for a camera, you have an online convo (sort of like here).
They pay with an "online" credit card. You get all the numbers and expiration date, and can use it for shit online, or you can pay the $15 for a physical card.
Going to the bakery to get bread, and seeing and snagging their last zucchini quiche (they're known for it, and they sell out like crazy). nomnomnom
