Gnomies Gone Wild

Good morning, Gnomies! Good luck getting the car today, C! Two days left of my vacation and it is raining -- how much you want to bet it rains tomorrow, too, and Friday ends up being sunny?
 
Good Morning Gnomies!!!

C...what a great friend you have!!! That is fantastic advice!! I hope you enjoy your car and the rest of your vacation...relax, read a book, enjoy the pool...I hope the rain holds off for you so you can have some nice days!!!!

LL...what a bummy morning! I'm sorry!! I really hope the rest of the day gets better for you!!!!!! I know what you mean about eating on the fly...not easy to do when you are dieting!!!!! Ewww...for working weekends...how often do you have to do that?

CP....awww I hope you don't get any rain!! You deserve sunshine the last few days of vacation!! I still can't believe summer came and went!! I still have some time, but it will be gone before I know it!!!!!

Stace...Good luck today at the job!! I just know you are going to knock their socks off!! The job will be yours in no time!
 
I just have to do it one weekend. We are merging with another bank, which is a nice way of saying we are taking them over. So I have to be here to help with the conversion of accounts and such. Oh well. It's overtime so it is Disney $$.

Marc brought me a breakfast sandwich and I took the sausage and egg and just ate that, I threw the bagel away. That was painful.

Overtime is very very nice, especially when it means Disney money!!!!!

Good for you though, I know I would have had a hard time getting rid of the baget too!!! :thumbsup2
 

Morning gnomies!

C, I don't blame you for making the decision you did. It would certainly have been more hassle to go through getting your money back and working with a new dealer. Do make sure however to contact the corporate office about how they treated you and go ahead a push with the GM to get some free oil changes or something for the crap you had to deal with.

LL, sorry you are having a crappy morning! :mad:

CP, bummer it's raining on the last days of your vacation :sad2:

Good luck today Stace!

Julez, good luck with the house hunting. Hopefully this will all be done soon and you can start decorating your new place! :woohoo:

Jen, where are you off to next?

I still haven't heard from the college where I interviewed with last week or the university with the job I REALLY want that closed last week. I'm starting to get VERY nervous about this whole thing. Really, is it too much to want a job where I enjoy what I do and pays well? It seems like I am either overqualified (and therefore they don't want to pay me what I am worth) or underqualified for all the jobs that interest me. :sad1:

I am also just about finished with the work I have to complete to leave my current job at the end of the week. I ended up leaving yesterday at 2 because I couldn't take sitting in my office anymore! I have like 4 tasks to finish by Friday and really, I could skip work today and tomorrow completely, get all the final tasks done on Friday and still have time to spare :sad2: Please keep the good thoughts and prayers coming my way, I really need them :grouphug:
 
Awww Katie...the right job will come around for you I just know it!! I know it must be very frustrating for you...but everything will work out!! I'm sending pixie dust your way for your job hunt!:wizard:

I'm off to Kansas next to spend a few days with my mom! My dad has a water management class he would like to take, but with mom having all the really bad headaches associated with her cancer treatments and the blood clot she has...he didn't want to leave her home alone (especially since she fell last week because she couldn't feel her right leg when she went to get up). So no leaving mom by herself so I'm going to spend time with her, which makes her happy so I'm willing to get over the flying thing (well not get over but face it and deal with it) and help her around the house for the week.
 
Katie, things will work out. :hug: :grouphug: :hug:

Jen, I think it's awesome you can go spend more time with your Mom before school starts again. :goodvibes
 
Morning Gnomies!

Super good news! Last night while my mum and I were sitting at the drive-in waiting for it to get dark, my future manager calls and tells me that she has had a chance to personally go over my resume and sees that I am way too experienced for the job she offered me, and that she would love to have me as a full-timer! She also offered me the coordinator job that I had been told I was up for! SO, I am now in charge of menswear, kids, toys and home! She said she would bring my updated contract tonight!:woohoo: Whoo did she take a load off my mind! I feel much more sunny now!

btw - speaking of sun, it did rain at the drive-in last night...well, actually it thunderstormed! But it was only toward the end of the second movie so it wasn't too bad. My mum seems to be over her obsession now!

Katie - :hug::hug::hug::hug::wizard::wizard::wizard:I really really really understand what you're going through right now so I offer lots of hugs and pixie dust! I hope everything works out for you as best as it can! Be sure to keep us posted! You are awesome and I know someone will just want to snap you up!:goodvibes

C - wow you are such a grown-up! Way more mature than I am! I would still likely be contacting the company for some sort of compensation for all that they put you through though!

LL - I'm sorry you're having a rotten day.:hug:

Jen(jolt) -Have a safe trip! Enjoy the time with your mom.:hug: And don't worry about flying. Just pop in your ipod and go to sleep (that's what I do!), or watch the movie (if you get one), and you'll be there in no time!

CP - if it makes you feel better it has been raining here for almost 2 weeks! It's gross! I hope things are sunny for you though!
 
:yay: :woohoo: :cool1: :banana: :dance3:
YAY STACY!!!!!
:yay: :woohoo: :cool1: :banana: :dance3:

That is such exciting news!!! Congrats

Jen, that is so nice you get to go spend some time with your mom and help take care of her. How is she doing by the way?

Thanks everyone, I'm just a little stressed out over all of this. I do generally believe that everything works out for the best in the end. It's just hard for me to see that right now.
 
WOO HOO STACY!!

I am so happy for you!!

That is excellent news!!

:yay: :yay: :woohoo: :yay: :yay:

Katie, I know it's hard to wait. I'm the most impatient person ever and I would be going crazy in your situation. You will make it through though. :grouphug:
 
:cool1::cool1::banana::banana:CONGRATULATIONS STACE!!!!:banana::banana::cool1::cool1: That is great news!! I'm so happy for you!!!!!!!

Oh I would be stressed too...I'm a huge worry wart and in the end it all works out and I tell myself I shouldn't have worried so much and yet next time I will worry...so I know your anxiety!!! :hug:

Mom is doing okay! It seems that the blood thinner is actually working and she is starting to get her headaches less and less and that is a good thing in my book!

Aww, Katie! That's not to much to ask at all. It just sometimes take the universe a while to come through on the orders. For example I should have placed my Prince Charming order by my 1st birthday, apparently. ;) Not to make light of your situation. I would be very stressed too! All I can do is send good thoughts and pixie dust your way so it is on its way! :goodvibes:wizard:

Well, now, that IS super good news! Congratulations!! Can't wait to hear about your first day!

C - wow you are such a grown-up!

This made me snort laugh. I am SO not. But my friend is. He's a very good influence on me. :laughing:


CP- rain for the last two days of vacation. Boo!!!!! :mad:

Jen- how nice you get to spend more time with your mom! :)

LL- throwing away a bagel would be painful. OTTV. But the changes you're making are the right ones... try to keep that in mind! :hug:

------------------

So the new buggy has arrived. Here she is:

Please ignore the messy garage. :blush: And you may sorta be able to see over the car a "parking sign." It's actually from a Food & Wine festival. I got it on MouseSurplus and I think about Epcot and F&W everyday when I drive into the garage! :upsidedow

They gave me a $50 gift card and that was it. I didn't even argue. I think I will write about the GM though. He didn't come talk to me today, thankfully, but I could hear him out in the showroom acting very unprofessionally, if you ask me. Ever since Katie compared it to Disney yesterday that's all I've thought about and I just kept saying to myself no cast member would ever dare act like this "on stage" with guests around! :sad2:

Oh- bonus pic of the shake and bake flip flops.... this is after baking. Can you see the indentations for my toes? This just fascinates me. :rotfl2:

Your car is so cute!! I love it!! :goodvibes

Mine have indents too where my toesies go. I'm liking them, I can't wait to wear them some more this weekend. :banana:

Oh, I didn't think you were making light C. You are right, we all have our burdens...this just happens to be mine at this moment and I love that we have each other to help through times like this! In general, I know I am very lucky with everything I have in my life and I just need to get through this rough patch.

The new car looks nice! (you also live in a lovely neighborhood too)

One time while car shopping, Greg and I were looking around the lot and someone came over the intercom (which broadcasted to the entire lot) and said "John, you have a VERY unhappy customer on line 2" I just thought...you broadcast these things? What other customer service do you provide? :sad2: Needless to say, we didn't return

Thanks, gnomies. I also love that we have eachother to share the big and not so big events, worries and triumphs in life! :goodvibes

Katie- thanks for the compliment on the neighborhood. It is very nice with a playground at the end of the street and the nicest neighbors you could imagine. For example I've lived here ~6 years and maybe shoveled my driveway a handful of times. All other times a neighbor comes over with their snowblower. BUT what you can't see is that weeds are overgrowing my landscaping and I have the smallest house on the block - a little cape on a street of colonials. And inside... well I wouldn't dare show pics of that disaster. :sad2: But it's home! :)

Raining this afternoon so think I will DIS and try to work on the interior disaster. :laughing:
 
OK, I'm going to throw this out there while I am thinking of it...

Since so many of you are going in the "near" future, would you be willing to keep an eye out for the following items? I of course will happily reimburse you!

First, a t-shirt MeMom saw in the Philharmagic shop:

disney3-18-09MK362.jpg


I would LOVE to get one of these for Patrick (and hope his duck butt is on the back, how cute would that be?) a kids medium (size 8?) is probably good

Second, a watch picture courtesy of Glendamax (I'm stealing but giving credit, I hope that's OK :scared:...see CP, I'm a rule follower too!) I'm pretty sure this was the "buy $40 worth of stuff and get this for $15" I got a watch last year that I love but the face has cracked and I would love this one. ONLY if you are already spending the money and don't want it for yourself of course!

Thanks gnomies!
 
Oh, I love having a mission. ::yes:: Feel free to add more to the list. I'll have fun looking for these for you, Katie. And I'm thinking there will be >1 occasion where I spend >$40 and I don't wear a watch so it's is yours!! Are there any options/choices on the watch? You'll have to send me your cell phone # so I can call/text with any last minute decisions.
 
I too will be glad to be on the lookout and help you find any items you are looking for Katie!! I know for sure I'm going into the Philharmagic gift shop and hope the vintage shirts are still there...I would love a Toad's Wild Ride shirt LOL!!!

Love the car C!!! It is too cute!!! Mousesurplus sounds like such a great store, I think P and I are thinking of going there this trip when we go on our little adventures!!!

So I'm working on laundry, just got done cleaning the bathroom and am enjoying my lunch (I even caved and joined WW online today, found a great recipe for a baked ziti I'm going to try this week before we leave LOL)!
