We miss you too, Frank!! I'm glad you're working though.

Everyone keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, or send positive thoughts my DH's way. He has an interview this morning with Publix for a corporate position. The job is Telecommunications Procurement Manager - something he is well qualified for. PLEASE PRAY!! I can't take much more of the crap jobs he's been forced to take.

If he gets it..I might be able to go back to working only one job instead of two.

Oh, and by the way....

It's "Hump Day"!!!

 

[Born 2 Fish]

Prayers for you both, Publix seems to be a great place to work.

Good morning all!

Will be keeping Rick in my prayers today Deb!

Well....Rick said his interview was stellar!! He was unsure what the job duties entailed, but when the interviewer's (two of them) started speaking "telephone-ese", and started asking him phone system engineering/design/placement questions, he just snapped the answers off - as that's what he basically did for the last 10 years of his telco career. The two people conducting the interview actually walked him to his car and continued chatting with him for another 5 minutes or so - which they did not do with the two people interviewing before Rick. We are now in the dreaded "hurry up and wait" mode. We've both learned not to get our hopes up - but he really needs a job that is up to his calliber & expertise. He has this "hang-up" about not getting job interviews due to his age, and I have to agree that there might be something to that. Can never prove it though.

Thanks to all of you for your prayers and well-wishes!

Good luck - I'll talk to you later.

Some friends just got 6 months notice - their jobs are moving to India after they train the Indians to do their jobs.....

Okay..this makes me want to vomit! WTH Maybe they'll take my neighbors with them!

I read this after cornering my Indian neighbor lady..(who lives diagonally across the street)...seems she suddenly isn't be able to speak English. The house right next door to us sold (after some 3 years) and the old neighbors moved out. No saying goodbye to anyone. They've been basically just checking on the house for several months..as they both live in NYC now. Today I saw this woman who lives across the street go in the house and receive a delivery of new appliances. I figure they must have bought the house. Ask her if she owns it?...NO ENGLISH. Looking at me as if she doesn't understand me. I KNOW she speaks English. Her middle school aged son..tells me "don't worry, we are just taking care of the house". Again..I ask her, Did you buy it? He tells me they are taking care of it for "friends" Oh great. "WHERE are the owners?...IS it a family?"...I ask. She shrugs her shoulders that she doesn't know.
I saw someone taking pictures of the house last week. I figure it was a realtor..and I ask her "Are they renting the house out?"...She had to leave pretty quick. Kid again tells me "don't worry..." Ummmm...hello..if you are taking care of the house, maybe you can get rid of the mattress on the driveway that's been left out in the rain. The newspapers on the sidewalk(that I pick up)..the garbage cans that have been out at the curb..that I took in. Yet they are living across the street... watching stupid ol' me pick up after this empty house. WTH? I tell ya..they better take that mattress out or I'm gonna heave it onto her front lawn tomorrow! They can take a flying mattress ride back to India!

Afternoon all!!! We got in last night. This is the first chance I've really had to get on here. I'm downloading the pictures to Photobucket as I type, but it looks like TCD scooped me on a bunch of stuff already, but I'll get em posted anyway.
