Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Heh. Sweet dreams? ;o)
Yeah...I kept hoping it would be brought up on their end...I think they were hoping I would forget about it. But the time is drawing short till they move and I was worrying over it last night in bed. So I decided last night that when my dad asked Steve to come get the freezer, I'd ask if he could get the chest as well.
It was a risk, because they often say I can have things, then just never bring it up again...so he coulda never mentioned the freezer again.
Well, first thing this morning, I got the email asking when we could pick up the freezer.
Still, I won't believe it till it's in my house.
hehehehe....
It still won't be any fun finding something new. I despise the whole interviewing process, with the silly questions and endless waiting games.
But I know I'm not happy here, so I'm willing to go through that crapola to get out of here!
WooHoo! Glad things went well on the house front.
;-)
*sigh*
But I guess...I mean, I want this job, I really do. And there's no way around the wait for this one. So I guess I should just look at it step by step instead of panicking because the steps are, by necessity, rather far apart.
I will!
I imagine it will be empty. It used to hold things like my uncle's uniform from WW2, and a bunch of newspapers from when WW2 was over. But last time I looked in it, a lot of that stuff was gone. Also it had a bunch of keepsakes of my own. They were gone too...my mom said it was just junk and she'd thrown it out. That was a blow-up from the past and long sense, well...maybe not gotten over, but resigned to.
long SINCE...
Definitely look at it as steps taken instead of time wasted, sis.
Almost every job worth getting has a waiting period, even the one I'm in now took a month and some to finalize.
Keep your options open, but keep an eye on the one you really want.
WW2 uniform gone? I would be devastated by that too, chica!
Just easy to feel like a loser when it takes awhile...though I know that's just how the world works!
It'll seem a lot shorter looking back, of course. That's also how the world works...
Yeah, and cool newspapers that say stuff like "JAPAN SURRENDERS" or something like that in red letters as the headline. Really neat.
Who knows...maybe it'll still be in there.
Hopefully my newspapers will be...I continued the tradition my grandmother started and put newspapers of momentous events in there...the shuttle exploding, the end of the Gulf War.
I hope it's not totally empty...
Gah...I know I have too MUCH of a tendency to be a packrat...but people who throw things out that aren't even theirs...well, that's really wrong.
Someone (we aren't quite sure who) threw out the bear I had as a baby. Or kind of a bear. Heh...just a flat outline with kind of exaggerated ears and too-short legs that my Dad's sister made for me. I LOVED that bear. He ripped and someone put it in a closet to be repaired later...and then someone threw him out. I was heartbroken when I found out.
I have a replacement one Mom and I made together that's just as hideous as the first, and I have a lot of memories wrapped up in that bear now...but it's not the same.
Well, my grandmother gave me the chest because I enjoyed going through it so much...she would let me sit and just look at everything! So it would stand to reason that the chest AND the contents should come to me, since she gave it to me.
But the battle from the past was such that it's merely the CHEST not the contents that she gave me and I, like so many times, didn't fight it. I kept the peace for the sake of getting along.
I should have never let it out of my possession. Believe me, I've been kicking myself for years about that. If it comes to me empty, I'll put my own dear possessions in it.
You're not a loser, you're looking. If you were lounging around eating bon-bons, that'd be loserish.
Wonder if the weather will allow a walk to B&N this afternoon. Otherwise I'll drive there. I need a book-fix.
Well, you should never feel like a loser because you are looking.
A loser is the one collecting govt checks and not even trying to get a job.
I'll keep my fingers crossed that some of those items remain in the chest!
I for one would LOVE to see some of that stuff!
I'm off to get some work done. See you all later!
You mean you can do this??
DAMN!!
Seriously: good luck to you, Miss Rosie!
Mmmm...B&N...
I'd like to check for (vey) cheap volumes of poetry. Something on which I could practice calligraphy.
