Zach is a bit more stout than I remember.


I think you are right about that, DR TCB. He's not getting as much exercise, but he's almost 14, which for a dog his size is pretty ancient. Also, a lot of that is hair. He needs to be groomed.

Thanks for the congratulations on my license. It's not like it's some great accomplishment. But like DR elmore3003, I had worried about it for a great while, and I needn't have.

Here is evidence of last night's doggie play date.  That is Cooper on the left, and my Zach on the right.  They got along just famously!!

Just spent a couple hours at the office.  I had to put together a strategy of what I'm going to do next.  I have a strategy of going through every file in the open file-file cabinets, organizing, making notes on each one, prioritizing and getting to work. I can have all that done by the end of the week with no problem. 

But the longer I was there the angrier I got.  Seriously, I gave her a best case scenario for me of 4 months notice with the possibility of unemployment after that because the business would be closed. With one month before the first cut and two months before the second cut with the possibility I won't get the job.  She finds a job in one day, gives me two weeks notice of full to part time with the promise of staying part time until I close, asks for a recommendation to take to her new jobs and for the future, works one week and walks out on me.   I have way too much going on for this drama.

Well, if I don't find it right now, I don't.  I've put the word out I'm looking, but right now I need to get through the files and figure out what has and hasn't been done and do everything that's urgent.

Thanks Singdaw.  I think I'm feeling a whole mix of feelings right now.  There's just too much work to do to deal with it.  AND I'm sort of fluent in Spanish, but without an interpreter, my work just got a lot more difficult.   Right now I don't even want to talk to her.

Well Edith quit today.  I'm not sure what set her off, but she got all upset and walked out.  I think she's trying to do too much, new full time job, part time with me, taking online classes, daughter going to college and sister in law in hospice.  I told her to call if she want to come back.  She didn't leave her key, so I'm guessing she might be there tomorrow.  I did change the passwords on the computers.  I don't think she'd ever do anything crazy, but I have to protect the data.

I'm sorry to hear that, but it does seem as if she has an awful lot on her plate.

I'll stop whining.  I'm just hurt by the way things happened and there isn't anything I can do about it.

I am finishing up "Saving Mr. Banks." I don't know why, but it's not the movie I thought it would be. And I'm really glad. So what if a few of the facts are played with? In which fictional movie of a historical event are a few facts not smudged over?

I am listening to Shostakovich Symphony 1 with Ormandy conducting - not sure I've ever heard it before.  I do have an entire box of the Shostokovich symphonies, all the Columbia recordings, so maybe it's time to pop that box open.

Today, I shall continue listening to my "Ring Der Nibelungen" box set with "Die Walküre."

On Friday, Theater Artists Olympia is going to have a movie night, and we're going to serve waffles!  The last time we had a movie night (coincidentally, it was also the very first time that we had a movie night), we just projected the movie and had candy and popcorn for people to purchase.  This time, we're actually going to make waffles and if people want, they can wear their pajamas while watching the movie!  How fun will that be?

(Of course, it won't be clothing optional for those who don't wear pajamas at all. ::) )

;)

Anyway, I bought a waffle iron for the event and I need to figure out how make waffles on my new waffle iron.  I got it on sale at Macy's and it's the kind that flips over.  I don't know what's so special about that kind, but someone told me that it's supposed to be better than the kinds that don't flip over.  I'm now going to Fred Meyer to get some waffle ingredients to make the test waffles, so we'll see how well it makes waffles and how easily I can use the waffle maker.
