hi frogger- a belated happy birthday, and glad to hear your back is better!
|
I HAD TO SHARE MY NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited right now, I keep typing everything backwards.
I just got asked if I would be interested in a position (here where I am now) with a different company on a different project, but for $20,000 more a year. :eek: (The figure range they gave me the high end was about $20,000 more than what I make now, the low end was $10,000 more) OF COURSE I SAID YES I'M INTERESTED!!!! So they need someone by the 3rd of October and will be coming by to formally interview me tomorrow or monday. I hope it works out (I'm sure they already have some other people to interview as well). But I have a leg up as I'm already here and know all of the processes for this office and such. AND the whole thing started because the head guy who I assist when his assistant is out (only I will do, he asks for me) recommended me to this other company. Sorry for the me post, I just had to share my *almost* fingers crossed good news. :lol: And to think 5 minutes beforehand I was sitting here redoing my budget because money is getting tight. |
FINGERS CROSSED FOR YA, FROGGIE!!! That's great news ... keep a good thought!

Happy Birthday yesterday Anagram! Have a virtual :hb: ! Hope DH is coming along fine and you'll be able to really celebrate soon! You share a date with my daughter, she was 21 yesterday.
Well no walking today...I'd need water wings :lol: It is pouring out there. I haven't even gotten the young fellow out for his constitutional yet. He's had some breakfast though and I hear him playing so, it is gonna happen. We need the rain. Eydie the dogs are fine. I'm taking 2 to the National in WI. We leave next week, so I don't know if I'll be checking in much. Of course, I haven't been able to do much with them...just starting to throw balls, but I have been grooming sporatically....they get off the table OK and they just need a boost getting up, so no lifting there. I was quite surprised when I finally got onto the scale at the beginning of September. I know your disillusionment Arabella. I'd put on 10 pounds since my surgery. HUH! So, I'm happy to report that 7 of them are gone....and my goal is to get back to my ticker weight by next week. Then my GHOUL as Frogger sez, is to get at least 5 lbs lower than that by Hallowe'en. So, Gotta go! Laundry to fold....DS needs his shorts for the Terry Fox run! :wave: to all! Wsw nice to see ya! Ceara |
My penguin shuffles forward...
Good morning, Queenlies!
Despite a not close to perfect week, I managed to squeeze off another fluffy one. Thinking my weight has to move more before both old and new number will show on my tracker, though. Maybe it's the trade off for the astronomical number -- easier weight loss. Hope to do better this week, when I WILL be much closer to perfect, yes I will! I've got deadlines coming out my ears today, so must not linger long. Also going to register for senior's college today. Anagram, happy belated birthday! I know this must be a bittersweet occasion at best this year. I wish for you -- as always -- peace, joy and serenity, the fullness of life as it is. And I thank the graces that brought you to us here. Here's a virtual bouquet of violets! Frogger! $20k more!!! Wow, that would really juice up the budget, wouldn't it. All digits crossed, Dovey! On a more modest note, I got word that I was getting a $4k raise the other day, out of the blue and when I'd just discovered that I had to pay my taxes six months in advance of when I'd paid them before, meaning I had to pay $3535 yesterday and another $1960 in December. Also, my check came in time to pay the tax bill, which saved me from having to get cash from Visa to put into my line of credit to make the payment. But -- wow! $20k :D You GO, Froggy Girl! Interesting that your pain went away when DH came in with the cranberry juice... hmmm... :queen: Punkinseed, I do believe that the voice is a spirit guide. This voice was feminine, but the one before was masculine. I think I've got two, and am trying to hear them more consistently. I think the female is Arabella -- when I was very small, I talked about Arabella all the time (and where would a 3-year-old come up with that name?). The male, I think I met one night when I'd been frantically working at the computer on desperately demanding work. When I finally finished I came up to bed. And as I turned off the light and was sinking into the bed, I saw a figure standing where I'd been standing as if he had been integrated with me and I dropped away from him. It was a man in an Indian headdress, but not a native man. We looked at each other. I don't know if I turned on the light then or what but he was gone. Still, I saw him quite clearly and was thinking about his headdress, like "Is that really how they were made?" and the next day came across a picture of a Native man in a headdress that was made in just the same way. I think he'd been lending me the strength to get through the work I had to get done. I'm going to make sure to save this message before I post, because I tried to respond about this before and lost the message. Ceara, SEVEN pounds off since the first of Sept? That's fantastic!!! Yup, I was "surprised" too -- but what did I fear, if it wasn't having gained more weight than I'd thought? I think I'm going to post a poll to the general forum to ask if anyone has ever weighed themselves consistently and gained a huge amount of weight. I'm pretty sure I'd never have gotten over the big 2 if I'd been weighing regularly. It's like closing your eyes when you're driving and think you're going to get in an accident, only makes the "accident" more likely. :rolleyes: K -- this was going to be short and sweet and away I went again :rolleyes: Hi ho, hi ho. Love to all, mentioned or un- Let's make this a good one! |
Happy Birthday yesterday Anagram!
Happy Birthday to you...We post in a zoo...We're all a little fluffy, but that's going away too...EVERYBODY SING!!!! Last day for my cube mate. Can I say YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! :cb: Unfortunatly I came in to a flooded cube. Pipe broke and sloshy coffeewater is everywhere. I like coffee but this is rediculous...Nothing but a brand new notebook ruined though :lol: Lunchie interview meeting set for monday on the new job. Keep your fingers crossed! |
:hb: :hat: Happy belated birthday to you Anagram!!!

Hi, Aria!!! :wave: Been following thy journal and thou be beautifully consistent as usual w' the exercise and eatin'!!! Great job.
Arabella, I loved your description o' thy spirit guides. I sometimes feel the presence of more than one entity as well, although perhaps it is all one ... dunno. I do not relate to male guidance, spirit or otherwise, though! Well, maybe in matters of changing tires (I always just let 'em do that ... sorry if this is a nonliberal practice that will set women back generations). Ceara, seven pounds off in a month is fabulous ... you are doing great. Good luck with the dogs. Froggie, congrats on the departure of annoying cube mate and kudos on getting the interview for the new job! Fingers crossed. E, I made a super quick oatmeal cookie in a bowl ... placed Scottish porridge oats (the only kind I eat) in bowl with a little water and a tiny bit of a low carb all-fruit spread (some of these are nevertheless high in "bad" high glycemic ingredients but this one only had apricots), mixed and microwaved until overcooked and on the dry side ... cooled, voila: cookie! Have to go cover something so I can't do the writing today and don't know when I'll have time to get caught up by deadline but am determined not to allow that to bother me. Am substantially off sugar but more lenient re Sugar Busters rules ... ate a tamale (corn) yesterday (fiesta time) and am taking the glucose tabs when blood sugar too low rather than eating cake 'n stuff. Bye all! |
Kaylets, art thou ok? :wave:

Hello all!
Its been nuts, nuts, nuts..... and havent had not a single one to eat.... More changes at the job to accomodate the auditors findings... not just me, entire department... and to make matters even more fun (that's sarcasm by the way) the turnaround time has dropped a day... lovely.... :( Other than that, I made an effort to start stair climbing again and brought celery to work to chomp, chomp chomp instead of suffering thru stress cravings or grinding my teeth..... and we are just beginning to get calls from clients affected by Katrina who have the wherewithall to contact us regarding their addresses, missing checks, etc, etc.... Good luck to you Frogger...... I still have to admit, I didnt catch the post on what line of work you're in.... I 've been guessing its IT Support but again, thats just a guess.... Empress.... you're a doll for worrying... Thanks... Anagram.... Sending you a virtual bouquet of violets for your birthday.... Ceara-- GOOD FOR YOU! WoodNymph... and Punkin... have to go back and catch up on your discussion of inner voices... I am intrigued.... Eydie! I nearly forgot about the banana icecream! WSW-- Hi!! Did Ophelia come near you? well, the timer just rang... I promise to come back soon! |
Saturday report
Hello Queenlies!
I've been doing well. As usual, after a few good days, I feel like I must be skinny by now :lol: Here's today: I went for a gentle jog, did tai chi. Drank gallons of water Food: seafood fra diavolo w/ 1/2 c. kamut spaghetti (low cal, healthy as all get out and delish!) Big Granny Smith Apple Baked chicken breast boiled potato with 2 t. olive oil broccoli Amarantha, I'm glad you liked my description of my spirit guides. I was afraid that people would think I was nuts (but obviously not afraid enough to keep me from sharing :lol: ). Myself, I really need the male spirit guide input -- I tend to need to nurture my masculine side, you know, standing up for myself, ensuring my own needs are met rather than sublimating, being forthright, etc. Kaylets, good for you not chomping your way through the stress. I know I've certainly done that before. It kind of works, but the side effects suck! :sumo: Am going to meditate now and go to bed. Love to all! |
