I am used to kittens, cats, and substantial puppies that grow into big dogs.  I'm always afraid I will drop him but fear holding him too tight.

Even though holding him is not my idea of fun I am pleased to say she has no clue.

I may retire early. I have less than 30 pages in my latest Edith Wharton novella, Sanctuary.

I’m enjoying the notes on the making of Nothing in Common, a movie I’ve never seen.

Ditto and ditto.

A few months ago, my supervisor quit and got a consulting job where he can stay home all the time.

They eventually hired a guy who seemed to know his stuff too, so that's good.

Since he was on probation (everyone is on probation for six months), any new employee can be fired and any new employee can quite for no reason...hence probation.

So, another person who oversees a couple of other departments took over the general supervision (she admitted that she knows nothing of finance and is just supervising us), and the hunt for a new Finance Manager continued.

Well, the temp supervisor is more of a by-the-book kind of supervisor and doesn't allow personal use of the computer (accessing Internet sites) unless work related, so I can't log into sites like HHW when I'm at work anymore. :(

I will follow the rules (now that I've been caught reminded of the policy), so I'll have to ketchup on my breaks or lunch and after work.

Vixmom - From what I have been able to figure out from today’s posts, I assume your office is closing, and you are unemployed.  I am so very sorry about your news.  After all those horrible years at your former job, I figured God was making it up to you.  At least you know now what to look for in a new employer and hopefully you will not have to settle for less.
