The New Hobbit Hole

Don't you just love photo storage places?

[2Jedismom]

Yes, and this one is particularly good because you can link from it...

[Scott from the Left Coast]

OK, let's try this one again...

[JenB]

Looks like the Harry potter thread died. The two um, antis, seem to have left. Too bad; I asked one to prove me wrong...

[HairOfTheDog]

Your link doesn't work!...

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Hey! This is better than a precious! (almost)

[HairOfTheDog]

WOO HOO!

[2Jedismom]

Yippeee! Looks like you got it.

[HairOfTheDog]

I should go check that thread out!

They would probably stay around and argue with you, but it it really freaks them out when your head spins around like that.

[JenB]

Hey, I'll turn you into a newt!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I couldn't have done it without you all...

and ain't that the truth?

[HairOfTheDog]

I may tell them that you said that! (reading the thread... you haven't come on scene yet)

[2Jedismom]

You got it figured out now, you think? I'm going to log off your account if you do.

[JenB]

Well... but he will get better, I swear!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Yes, I have it now. Not quite a straight A student, but persistence counts for something. Thanks.

[2Jedismom]

Ok. I'm logging off then. Don't forget to use the email address and that password I gave you to log back in if you ever want to upload more photos. They will keep your photos for one year, and longer if you order something from them.

You can change your password, if you think I might sneak back into your album...but I won't...I promise! LOL

[HairOfTheDog]

Wow.... the Lurking person is a piece of work!

[JenB]

Well, that's nice than I would have said. Jael is... interesting, I think she's almost willing to stick a tent peg through someone's forehead by now.

Just popping in for a sec...sorry I haven't been around much, gang. Partly I've just been kinda out of it lately, and also I found out that my internet DOESN'T disconnect if someone else calls (I thought it did), so I didn't want to tie up the line in case someone called about a job. I think there are some software products that tell you if someone calls while you're on-line, so I may try to find something like that this weekend.

Nothing new on the job front. Still waiting. I called the main place I applied (one of the two with actual OPENINGS) and checked on progress. Was told that they have a special committee that looks over the resumes, and once they've done that, I'll either get a call for an interview or a letter saying "thanks, but no thanks". And they said the chairman is out this week. I don't think I like the whole idea of having a committee decide, either. Sounds like they're leaving the people I'd actually be working with and for out of the picture. Ugh.

I haven't found any more openings...if neither of these two come through and if I don't find anything else in the area by the end of the month or at least the end of the year...I'm not sure what I'll end up doing. There really aren't any decent jobs here, from what I'm finding, and the employment office basically just said "good luck"...doesn't make me feel very optimistic.

No further crap production. I guess I'm coming to terms with it being true crap. Kinda feeling like OT did awhile back: why bother? I've gotten far behind now, so I don't know if I can do it anyway. But I'm going to try to get started again this weekend. Need to just write and not try to get ANY wording right or worry about making ANY of the story logical or plausible or interesting - just do it, and if it makes me feel better, keep telling myself I COULD always go back and completely revamp it if I wanted to. Probably will just delete it at the end of the month, though. ;-)

So...that's my life now.

Corin, sorry about your father-in-law. My condolences. I know that's a lame word for what you and your wife are going through right now, but I mean it sincerely.

[JenB]

Rosie, I'm praying for you and I hope you get a job soon. Check in when you can....
