I think I need to be Captain Yenta because once dh and I swooped in here, we haven't stopped talking.

She'll have to talk to my daughter Kristin on the cruise. She and her fiance Nick are WVu graduates and Kristin actually grew up in Morgantown so she'll be able to give her some good advice.

We live about an hour away in Wheeling.....

I am positive that she would like to get together with them to get the lay of the land. Do they still live in Morgantown?

What sorority?

She is an AOII...

Really? UCF has gotten that bad? I work here but have no pull whatsover Go Knights!

The past year has been brutal. I'm in the Humanities department, and they seem to have fewer classes ever single semester. At this point, I'm wondering if I can get retirement benefits once I graduate. I've been there longer than most professors.

Nope they both work for NASA in Houston now. I'm sure that they can give her a good run down on the city...

Now that is funny....I've seen some pretty old ones around here I work in HR (oversee the myUCF for HR side) and in the academic world...nobody cares about HR. That is unless they don't get paid

Or until they get accused of sexual harassment!

No turning in of receipts. He's usually there anyway to pay for everything since I rarely take any $ or cards with me.

I never have money with me because he always "takes care of it". One time I left a bar after him at the ballpark and didn't pay the bill!!!I called in to apologize and they were all laughing at me because they knew!!! Whew!

I can't help it if I like to talk. It's just the way my mouth rolls.

OK... looks like more pages than I have time to read... once again been super busy so heres a quick recap of the last couple weeks:

WARNING: depressing content

-Went 'mountain biking' weekend before last
-Dislocated my shoulder later that day while swimming. (lots of pain and choice words)
-Went SCUBA diving the next Thursday (horrible visibility and pretty disappointing but good to get back in the water)
-This past weekend was two full 8 hour days of Search and Rescue training learning how to fill out paperwork.
-Had an all hands meeting at work to find out that there are layoffs coming up in October and sounds like its not good to be the 'new guy' in the group
-Went to the doctor that afternoon all bummed out to fill out 45 minutes worth of paperwork, got an xray, and saw the doctor just long enough to say "hmm, your shoulder is a little sloppy, theres a lot of play in there that shouldnt be, I'd like to get you an MRI"
-Today the MRI people called me and called it something else... I asked what the difference was and they said the difference is for the shoulder specific one they have to inject stuff directly into the joint...


Quick recap: lots of pain, might lose my job, doctor told me my shoulder is messed up, now I get to look forward to getting stabbed in the shoulder and stuffed in a little tube... and who knows what that will reveal or how much it will cost... Better get it all taken care of while I still have a job with decent insurance.






On the lighter side, I got to go SCUBA diving and I'll be heading home for a 3 day weekend in a little over 2 hours. Trying to stay positive but boy do I need a vacation...

Yikes!!!!

The bike park looked like something John, Mike and their friends would enjoy... How far away was it?

You definitely need to enjoy your weekend!!! If you want heat stroke on top of all of that... - Friendswood's 4th of July parade starts at 10:00am on the corner of 2351 and 518... I'll probably be down a bit on 518 by the Sonic... - Look for the tallest trombone in Clear Brook HS' band - that'll be Mike...

 

[mickeymo]

Double post for some strange reason!!!

 

[mickeymo]

Didn't even think they would have hot cocoa. I figure it will be warm enough that they wouldn't have it. That's what I do at home!

That's my desperation mocha while on vacation or when DH is traveling. I'm spoiled, he roasts his own beans and has an expresso machine. I've never learned how to operate it but, I do get my mocha every morning.
