TGIF...weekend's on the way!
How is everyone on this Friday morning?
I suppose I'm doing pretty good...looking forward to the weekend, even though I am stuck working at Saturday. For the most part though, Saturdays usually seem to go by rather quickly, and it always seems to be a shorter day since I get off at 5, vs. 6.
I headed to Ashland yesterday, around noon. Mary had a drs. appt. at 1:30. Not long before we were getting ready to leave for the dr., the school called and said that Kenny was running 100.8 temp., and needed us to come pick him up. Landon mentioned that Kenny said he didn't feel good when he got up for school, and Amanda took his temp then, and he didn't have one. He was saying that his tummy hurt. So, we went by the school and picked him up, then headed for the dr. We had no sooner got through the door of the drs. office, that Kenny asked where the bathroom was, and before I could take another step, he had thrown up all over the floor, We rushed for the bathroom, but AGAIN, we didn't make it, and even once again on the bathroom floor, before we could ever get to the toilet. The poor little guy when we brought him out of the bathroom, was as pale as a ghost...he had no color, and you could tell he felt awful. After a little bit, I took Gabriel and Kenny out to the car, so that Kenny could lay down in the back seat. They said he would have to stay home again today...they want them to be without a temp. for at least 24 hrs. before going back to school. So...he'll have a long weekend and not have to go back till Monday.
We took Amanda, Mary, Kenny and Gabriel back home when we got done at the drs., then Landon came back into town with me....I had some running to do. Before we got Lee, we picked up a friend of Landon's who needed a ride home from work...he doesn't live far from Landon....plus he hadn't seen mary yet, so was going to go ahead and come out to the house, and have supper with us. Landon has also been babysitting Dean's rabbit...since right before Christmas...it wasn't suppose to turn into this long of a babysitting job...lol So, we figured after supper that we'd load the rabbit up, and take it back to Deans. It was okay for awhile, but I think Landon was ready to be minus one rabbit. lol
We got Lee picked up...then out to get Moriah, then back to Ashland. We had a great supper, and definately had fun fussin' over Mary. After supper we decided to go rent a movie...then was gonna run Dean and the rabbit home, then come back and watch the movie....but, you know that things don't always go according to plan. hahahaha It took a little longer to do the rabbit thing, than we thought it would, and by the time we got back to the house, decided it was probably a bit to late to start movie...since Moriah had to get up early for school today. The movie isn't due back till next wed., or something like that, so we just decided to come home, and then get together this weekend sometime to watch it. We're not sure if we'll go out there tomorrow, or Sunday. I have a feeling that we'll be going to Ashland for the most part now, since Mary's here...rather than them coming to our house...especially since it's been so cold. I don't want to have to drag Mary out. Maybe if we get a nice day one time, we can use that day for them to come here.
I haven't heard anything else about my Tuesday at work....I told you that Rex said he wouldn't know anything until he got someone hired. There was one other time that I got ticked at him, and had the two people been in that day that I went to see, and either one of them offered me a job, I would have called him right there, and told him to "take this job and shove it!" lol But...neither of those people we available that day, and things smoothed out at the cleaners, so I never persued it any farther. But, I have really been thinking...even if I do get to keep my Tuesdays, and even after my raise goes in...and that's even if it's the max of $.25 per hr....it still isn't what I need....I mean, it would definately help, and be better than it is now....but I still really need more. So...I decided to go ahead and start looking at a couple of different prospects. I definately wanted to check at Kent's floral...he knows Lee, and also comes into the cleaners, and I want to check with Celeste Hardknock (do you believe that last name? lol) She is the lady that comes into the cleaners.......verrrrrrrrrrrrry rich...and owns an exclusive clothing shoppe here in columbia....Lee works on her jewelry.... so I'm hoping that this might get my foot in the door on either one of these. I did fill out an application for Kents...back at the end of Sept., when all this crap went on at work, but never got one filled out at 'My Sister's Circus'....that's the name of Celeste's botique. So...I just decided I was gonna do it....and if they want to hire me...then....I'll just quite the cleaners. Rex has gotten in a LOT of applications, and so it may be convienent for him to just go ahead and find him another one while he's at it. I had noticed the other night, when I was looking at the Boone Country Journal...Ashland's paper....reading about Chris, that there was a job opening in Ashland for an office manager...and gave a number to call. So, after I got home from dropping off Lee, I started thinking about that add again, and decided that I'd give it a call. I'm rather old fashioned about job interviews....I believe if you want a job, then you can bother to show up in person....looking presentable...and you certainly don't "call", and apply over the phone. lol ....But, this add said "call"...no address, no business name...so I really didn't have another choice. It is a handy man service, owned by a husband and wife....I spoke with his daughter. He has 7 employees, and is needing someone to help in the office...phone, file, setting up appts. etc....Mon-Fri. 9-3!!!! What FABULOUS HOURS!!! No weekends...or nights....and she believed that his is going to pay around $8-9 per hour....which is $1.25-/$2.25 more than I make now. I will be making $6.75 an hr....if I get the max. raise of $.25...but I don't know yet how much my raise will be. So...she told me that she didn't expect her father back today...he's out of town, but that he would probably try to call me on Mon. I explained that I worked Monday, but not until 1, and that I could definately meet with him on Monday morning. They own a farm in Ashland, and the office is located on their farm. I debated Ashland, because I, like others think...well, that's a little too far away. But, I try to think reasonably...It takes me exactly 15 mins. to drive from my house to the cleaners...making no stops inbetween. If I leave my house, and go right to Ashland...no stops...it takes me 20 mins....all highway....no city driving, etc. So, what's the big diff....plus, I'd be making about $150 more a week....honestly....I don't see how I could go wrong with that....plus the advantage of being able to see my grandkids ...and Landon everyday....I think I could handle this!!!
I had thought about getting dressed, going down town, and trying to see Kent, and Celeste, and see what I might come up with there. I did go ahead and decide to call Kent first...he is very often out, and not even available...but, he was there, and I immediately appologized for calling him rather than coming in, but I knew he was often out and unavaliable. I told him who I was...the cleaners...etc....he mentioned that he hadn't hired anyone for the front counter yet...and that he needed some delivery people. I asked him when would be a good time to come in and see him, and he immediately said...."after Valentine's....we're swamped!!!! So...I thanked him and told him I would be back in touch with him then. I will have Thurs. 16th off...so will probably see him then. I tried going ahead and calling Celeste...but no one is answering at the store...maybe they've gone to lunch. I may try back in a minute, and see what I find out there. It would be nice if I could line up all three of these, and be able to weigh the options of which one would be the best deal. As far as Kent's and My Sister's Circus...they are both downtown...Kent's 1 block from Tucker's...My Sister's Circus...2 blocks. I could come into work with Lee...we could have lunch together....probably leave together...although Kent and Celeste aren't open till 7...so...there is an advantage to that also...it will just depend on how many hours, and what the pay is. But, I am going to try and think optimistically, that I don't think I may be at the cleaners too long. I haven't even told Lee that I've done this...although I did mention that if they cut another day...Rex might just have to find someone else...and of course, Lee agreed that I really need to find something different. I have told him that if need be, I'd go right to Celeste, and to Kent. But, I just kinda decided to do this late last night...and I hadn't told him at all about the add for the job in Ashland. I suppose I'll tell him tonight that I've spoken to Kent, and also about the possibility of this guy from Ashland calling, and then may also have something to tell him about Celeste too...depending on whether I can get ahold of her. I am being lazy in a way....I'm in a warm fleece pullover, and my warm up pants...and slippers...I really DON'T want to have to get dressed up...put on makeup...and go downtown... if she isn't even going to be there...or the store closed...considering no one is answering....so...I think I'll try to call. I waited on Celeste Wed. when I last worked....she always comes through the drive thru...with her little poodle...and his pink ruffle collar....boy, does she spoil that dog...lol I came real close to leaning out the window, and tell her that I'd like to come speak with her regarding employment....but, I figured that might be rather tacky....hehehehehe....so I didn't. lol
Anyway...so other than waiting on that...I don't really have much to do other than leave around 3....take a prescription by to get filled for amanda, and then run to Ashland...I told Landon that I'd wait and come around 4, when he got off. I'll probably hang out for a bit, and visit...and hold mary, then head home and get something going on supper before I go get Lee.
Well, geeeeee, have I been rattlin' or what??? lol Guess that strange noise I heard was all you guys snorin'!
I'll definately keep ya up to date on the job deal...so say a little prayer that things will go the way they should where that is concerned. I'll let you guys go....hope you have a GREAT day. I'll talk to you all later tonight, and see what's been going on with you!
Much love,
Lev
