Welcome SSRJen! Glad you are coming along too!
So, it looks like some are meeting at the MCO Hyatt...and some of us are meeting at MVMCP. For those of us meeting at MVMCP, do we want to exchange cell numbers or try to meet at a specific place at a specific time?
Steve's PSM audit is this week at work and he is completely stressed out! Andrew is reading the Phantom Toll Booth this week for his book group and I just finished baking chocolate chip cookies, making salisbury steak and homemade meatballs with marinara sauce. I'm trying to cook ahead for the week since this is going to be a tough one!
I finally gave my notice at work and they were NOT happy campers...particularly since the order is that they cannot replace anyone who leaves right now AND I was the only grants person in the entire law school. So, I'm trying to write a leave behind book, train someone else on various aspects of my job and give recommendations as to who else can do other parts of my job. Oh yes, and my new job is already calling me and asking me to attend various meetings (mostly evenings...though I am using up a few "vacation days" to attend day meetings for the new place already...and yes, they will pay me...but it's still a royal pain to juggle it all!)
Oh a funny (and kinda sad) note...I called our kennel to alter our reservations for the dog and Tracy (the main gal at the kennel) asked if she could take our dog home with her for the holidays. She recently lost one of her dogs and she and Wendy (that's our dog) get along really well...Tracy's almost like a second (or would that be third?) mom to her. So anyway, she didn't want Wendy to be at the kennel on Thanksgiving so (or actually, she didn't want to be without a "furry baby" at Thanksgiving Dinner) I guess our beloved "Bird Brain" (that's one of her many nicknames) is going to get Turkey that day!
Now, why do we call our dog "Bird Brain?" Well, we have a 90" round dining room table. One evening I was in there folding laundry with the baskets all around the table and someone came to the door. Wendy couldn't figure out how to get around the baskets, so she jumped over the table (missing the chandelier by about 6")
! So, we began calling her Wendy Bird! Then about a week later, we were playing ball one evening and she always just tears out after the ball. Well this evening, she wasn't paying attention to where the wall was located and ran smack into the wall! It was so funny...she looked at the wall as if to say, "hey, where did you come from?" We laughed so hard and said that she must be a dog of "very little brain" (ala Pooh)...so we started calling her Bird Brain!
Well, that's all for me! Night everyone!
