Today went much better. At work, with having put in for the transfer to second shift (more money and some overtime means a bigger paycheck and things getting done faster, among other things), I'm just waiting. The HR gal said that she has no idea how long it will take for it to go through when I dropped it off yesterday, but I know the lead (boss) on x-ray/breast table for second shift REALLY needs a pair of hands that can do all the jobs badly. We talked about it yesterday. So today, I told him what HR had said, and he's going to talk to the supervisor for nights on x-ray, and see about putting a little bit of a flea in HR's ear to get them to fast-track the thing. Apparently, he's got not quite enough people to hold down the fort, and two of them he's had for a whole three weeks, but they still can't do anything mroe than run the trim tables, where the bones are cut out or picked out of the meat after they've been through the x-ray machines. Larry, said lead, will be happy to have me, and I'll be happy to have more money coming my way. Of course, the whole getting to sleep in till noon every day will be a bonus as well!
No word yet on how much Randy is going to cost us to fix the truck ... I think he went and got it today, but since we haven't heard yet, he likely hasn't had a lot of time to pour over it and fix it up. Poor van buddy. Quentin REALLY likes his van, in spite of the fact that it's a Ford and he really hates Fords.
With riding with Eric and his brother Sean back and forth right now, it left me no time to do anything outdoors today by the time I got home. They had to run some errands after work, which is fine, but gosh, I really wanted to get out with the chainsaw. Soon's we either have the van back or I'm on second shift, the scrub trees around here better watch out, because me and the "midget cricket" are going to town on small firewood! And it was such a nice day for getting out, too, mid-60sF, so if I'd gotten home earlier, I could have done so much. Oh well, I am still picking out the things I want to get and hoping I can pare this list down to a dull roar before it goes into the stratosphere cost-wise. So far, I'm not doing so well, lol. I really need to pare it down more. A LOT more.
Doing some knitting tonight after posting the booklist, because I want to get more done on this one. It's coming along a bit at a time, but I'd like to put an hour or so into it while I cry over "Phantom of the Opera." I can't help it - by the time the chandelier crashes, I'm bawling, lol. Such a sad sack, am I. But I need a dose of theatre tonight, and that's the choice that came to hand. So booklist it is, have a blast folks.
