DR vixmom, I am thrilled for your news, on both fronts. Congratulations!!!!!!

I know you will be great, and that they'll be blessed to have you on their team.

And it sounds like you won't have to be driven crazy by dealing with the public at large.

Thank you!

Vixmom, that is incredible news ... and you still have a very nice deposit from NY State to look forward to.

Congratulations, many times over!

Thank you!

My day started at 4:45 am when I was awakened by a TORNADO WARNING on my phone.

Long story short, we were in the last of a huge tropical (I guess) rainstorm then, but the warning wasn't for us. It was for an area in Westchester County, and I have had that a lot of people lost power in that area.

I am very grateful it was a false alarm, but what a way to start the day.

Oh my goodness! It seems to have, fortunately, passed us by too. We were forecast with rain and thunderstorms but it looks nice and sunny

Yesterday an idiot young married couple went shopping and left their one-year-old baby locked inside their Mercedes. Rescuers broke a window to save the baby. The couple claimed they were checking on the child every 25 minutes and they were pissed their car window was broken. Some fools should never be parents.

I can’t even imagine ever doing this.

When the Vixter was about 2 I accidentally locked her in and me out of my car.

We had just come out of church and I put my keys and purse down on the seat while securing her in the car seat and then accidentally hit the door lock button as I was closing the door.

Even though the church was directly across the street I just stood outside the car shouting for help until someone saw me and came over.

This was back when we only had one car as well.

Fortunately a friend saw me and drove to my house and got the spare keys from Vixdad and brought them back to me

vixmom · « **Reply #38 on:** August 19, 2021, 08:20:22 AM »

But to leave her alone in the car and go seek help? Never!

vixmom · « **Reply #39 on:** August 19, 2021, 08:20:58 AM »

I hope those idiot parents were arrested and that they are put under court supervision at the very least

I knew this attorney had had a very contentious split with a former boss of mine

That speaks well of him.

DR Vixmom, a half hour commute to work isn't too bad, except you have been spoiled by your last job.

Jane · « **Reply #42 on:** August 19, 2021, 08:24:19 AM »

And you already know that the women you will be working with like you

That is a plus, that they apparently advocated for me. In the past I have had uncomfortable situations where I was employed for a position someone else already there wanted and was despised before I set foot in the door.

Hi, Vixmom!

Good morning.

Such great news, Vixmom!

I know we had some rain yesterday, although I haven't checked the rain gauge.

I have two now: one inside and one outside.

Where did this happen?

Also, wait just a damned minute. Is it even remotely thinkable to leave a child (or a baby???) locked inside a car -- AT ALL? Let alone for not being checked on except at 25-MINUTE INTERVALS?

The more I think about this, the closer my brain gets to es'plodin'.

It was on the local news. It was at amall either around the area or in New Jersey.

LOL! I have no idea now what the hell "qurg" was meant to be! "From," maybe?

Nope! I was rtping "with" one letter off.

Thursday morning greetings! Richard took my car to the AAUW book sale site to deliver the books that we culled from our basement and was home in time for our appointment with Zach, the owner of the company that’s going to pretty up the front of our house. We’re looking forward to seeing the design he comes up with.

Congratulations to DR Vixmom on the new job! When do you start?

Laura · « **Reply #53 on:** August 19, 2021, 08:56:18 AM »

I parked my car in the sun with the windows rolled up one summer and stuck a thermometer in there. It hit 140 degrees pretty quickly.

I'm taking an orchestration break. Stella stopped by for a nap and got removed, then Thatch climbed up to play with Daddy, and then he was swiftly requested to gp. I think I wrote about 15 bars of music in the two hours.

That was very unfair of them, and hard for you.
