Found out why the big package hasn't arrived - the guy who was sending is from Canada and uses a guy in NY to ship his stuff.  And this guy took it upon himself to ship this big package media mail rather than the service I'd paid for - express or Priority.  So, heaven knows when it will get here.  The guy who made the decision seems to think it will be here by the weekend, but that has not been my experience with media mail ever.  It's the cheapest way to ship and therefore the USPS cares about it even less than the packages they already don't care about - bottom of the heap always, and especially at this time of year.  I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't arrive until after the first of the New Year - I hope he's right and it does arrive by Saturday - the only reason to hope is because it is insured and it does have delivery confirmation.  The seller feels terrible and is offering me several things to make up for it.  I just want the damn package, which should have been here yesterday had his person shipped the way he was supposed to.

At least the seller is trying to do something to make up for the mistake, not that it helps you much but better than if he acted like a jerk.

Unless the package is critical, I also think that the seller is trying to be as nice as can be about it. And I'm sure even with media mail that it will arrive soon.

I saw the most heartbreaking thing posted on facebook today.  It was a class picture from Newtown CT. And every single child but one little girl in that class was killed. IT said the little girl pretended to be dead.  I can't even imagine how hard things will be for her.

Called Fed Ex to see if they had info on the screener and they did - scheduled for tomorrow at some point, and so tomorrow I'll have Les Miz.

What package IS critical?  That's not the point.  It's not the seller's fault, it's his shipper who behaved like an idiot.  The seller is a stand-up guy and he's furious at his shipper.

Interesting.  Thank you.  Do you have any idea if you read her translation?  I wish I knew if I have.

No, I read the Signet translation from New American Library.

[Jane]

Thanks everyone.  I'm excited and very glad that I'll know on Friday.  Edith is nervous but excited too.  She has been looking at opportunities should I get the job and has already found several that look good to her.  She told me that she's learned something from everyone she's worked for and what she learned from me was not to be afraid to take a chance like I did when I left a really good job when  I wasn't happy because things can turn out very well. She said she could sit at home and be miserable about it or she can look at it as an opportunity to do even better.  

I didn't realize this would mean closing your office & not having Edith working for you anymore-WOW!

I'm sure with the glowing recommendation you would give Edith she would get any job she applied to.

I gathered it would mean closing the office, but not that Edith couldn't go along. Hope it all works out for both of you.

Here's "One Day More" from "Les Miz." I just wish I knew when it opened. Can anyone help me?

I was very disappointed when I saw this on stage.  I'm will be very curious to the reactions here, and as DR Jennifer mentioned, the reactions compared to having seen it live or not.

Does Russel Crowe sing?

You didn't like LES MIS? Or you didn't enjoy that particular production? I love LES MIS!

Everybody sings!

Nope, maybe because I loved the book so much.  I didn't like CATS either.

Smart girl but sooo sad.

Well, I'm off to my sister's.  I bought our aunt some McDonald's gift cards (she loves McDonald's) and we're going to send them with a Christmas card.  

Be back later.

Only one reading then    Since I don't have anything else to read I'll probably continue with the eBook.  Thanks for your help.

Yup.  I think they only give you 30 days to close your practice. So, it's a big deal after spending 5 years building my business

[Cillaliz]

Off to the mall to see if I can find a new suit for Friday   I think this is new suit worthy

I hope you find something that makes you feel good!

couldn;t find a suit  i was told they aren't in season   whats up with that?  Rick is on my lap I'm  typing with one hand

[Cillaliz]

DR Cilla did you read your Nook copy of Les Miserable? 

no

[John G.]

The house is filled with the aroma of cinnamon, almond and vanilla. Just made a coffee cake for an office breakfast tomorrow. Now I want to eat it.

[Cillaliz]

Yum

Cabinet thing has been delivered and looks great.  I was able to get all the CDs off the floor of the CD closet so I can actually go in there now.  I'm not sure I like how the big Grundig looks on top of it, so I'll live with it and if I don't like I'll move the radio outside and put other stuff on top of it.

[vixmom]

Happiest of Birthdays to PennyO!!!
