DIS/DISUnplugged/Dreams December Event Info – DISapalooza (continued)

[chirurgeon]

Yay for ME docs!!!

Yay that Todd is okay...dude that's some scary stuff...

And yay that I may have found a job! We'll see...she's supposed to call me tomorrow with what she can offer. She runs a very small business and when I initially asked her about a job, she swore she could only offer 15-20 hours a week right now but the more we talked, the more she realized that she could probably do 35-40 hours! It's just her and her daughter, but she's got 3 other kids and lots of commitments and her DH has been ill so he can't help her and he needs her more than he did before. So she's struggling trying to figure out how to run the business and tend to family. I told her that I was having one of those pity me days today but my friends kicked in the butt and made me get out to apply for more jobs. Had she not done that, I wouldn't have even seen this new store...and wouldn't have gone in...and wouldn't have talked myself into a potential job...The lady who owns the place seemed really excited by the time I left. She told me to thank my friend for kicking me in the right direction...

And Jen...here you go...


THANK YOU for kicking me right in the derriere when I needed it...especially if I get this job! You really are my BFF and I love you dearly for it...


I did tell her about DAP and she said that would be no problem...she's supposed to call me tomorrow. I'll keep everyone posted!!

Good luck, Brandie. Good job, Jen.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Good luck with the job Brandie and WTG Jen for getting her out there again.


We got a date for our final walk through and it is this Thursday!!!! whoo hooo it is actually happening. I dont know how they are going to get everything done though. They have alot to fix up.

Now the bad news I need 6 ceiling fans, 1 mower and 1 grill for a grand total of $2K not so nice a month before DAP. Plus a screen and gutters. So I am really glad I didnt upgrade that room ressie.

You Casanova......looking to bring home a 'special' souvenir?

I can barely keep up with the one I have. How people handle multiple kids is beyond me. Right now our living room look like Toys R Us exploded thanks to the B-day party yesterday.

I'm at the tire shop. I just had to call 911 about the van I was following on the way here. If he wasn't drunk, there was something else SERIOUSLY wrong. He was all over the place and almost took out two different cars while I was following him

Yikes!!! Glad you're ok.

Congrats Brandie!!!!!

You didn't need to do that. I'm just glad I could help. Can I really kick you in the pants at DAP?

How come you toned down the thank you????

 

[DVCsince02]

How come you toned down the thank you????

Because it's really no big deal. That's what friends do. They pump you up when you are low.

 

[sshaw10060]

I get home and ask Pam if anything worthwhile came in the mail. She responds no, just a bunch of bills. Later when I look through the pile what do I find. The ME documents of course, and she accuses me of man looking.

 

[tlcoke]

Thanks for the update Todd.

Great news Brandie. Hopefully she will call you back first thing in the morning.

I got my ME envelope today too -- WooHoo!!!

 

[LMO429]

I wouldn't suggest a rousing rendition of "The Lollipop Guild", might get things off on the wrong foot...
