Time to get up , it's almost 6 AM. Ya think it's OK to sleep in on Sunday ?

Not sleeping in here BARGOO...

well maybe a little, was out of bed at 4:30.

Read the paper then did a little work paperwork I didn't finish last night...

Second service today since Angie is playing bells in that one I really feel lost waiting until 10:30 for church...makes the afternoon short for me...

I'd go to first service by myself but Angie really likes it when I go with her...wink

I'm up already, OK. Now get the heck off my lawn!!! :club:

Oh wait. I don't have a lawn. Just a yard full of dirt and the X's crap that he hasn't taken care of in 20 years. :mad:

Oh well, if I get this job and the oldest gets the full-time job she's put in for, we'll be outta here in a New York second. ;)

Thanks y'all for the good wishes. I guess you can hang out on my dirt for a couple of minutes. :hug:

I'll be pulling for you. When will you find out ?

Nobody knows, Bargoo. My "inside" contact is gonna try to check it out and get back to me next week. The company, however, is well-known for taking FOREVER. I went to the initial intake Oct. 5. They sent me an email Dec. 24 saying that I was moving on to the next round and they would get in touch "after the holidays". Didn't get a call until Jan, 22. Well, that was "after the holidays". A looooooonnnnnnggggggg time "after the holidays". At least it felt like it to me.

My insider tells me they need at least 5 people for the position described to me in the middle of March. Thing is I'm not sure if they would want me for the position they described or one that is higher or lower. I have a helluvalot of experience on both sides. I can't imagine they would want someone with my equipment and blasting experience for a janitor, but who knows.

I'm sure they want women. Here, in WY, women aren't wanted to fill quotas. That's already been done. Here, they've found out the women tend to be better employees and actually seek us out ahead of guys. And, as it turns out, I said all the things that they like about us chicks. And to find a woman with the type of experience I have is pretty freaking rare. Plus, many of the folks out there know my X(a 30 yr. professional miner and Mine Rescue Professional) and how much influence we have on each other, which is a plus.

I'll let y'all know if the insider gets in touch and I will DEFO let you know if I get the official word. Heck, it will be all over the internet if MissTNT(thanks, EZ, I've taken that as my online ID since you started calling me that) gets back to where she belongs.

:) ^^ LIKE ^^

I am sure we will hear a whoop and holler when you get the job....it seems to have your name all over it.

Off to work...

be good...

or not.

I've got the day off. Everyone at work loves it but I don't. I'm a temp, so I don't get paid and I have a lot to do since I just barely got myself trained to do the job and there is all kinds of stuff I need to catch up on so when the girl who regularly works there doesn't come back to a big ol' mess. I worked there 10 years ago and my best friend still does and it is still just as big a joke as it was back then. I swear she has the patience of a saint to stay on.

Operator, remember it is only temporary, a better job is waiting for you.

Two of my guys are without a job tonight....

but 2 more are real happy to have work!

"This too shall pass", Operator.

I am telling myself that as I struggle through this darned cold. I've not had a cold like this for years and am NOT happy! :mad:

Ruth, have you tried a good strong hot toddy for your cold ?

Sure have, Bargoo, and am thinking of hot and sour soup or curry for dinner tonight.

My wife left me.......
























for the next 2 days......
