I don’t feel rested.

The brake pads are supposed to be delivered today. They were in Phoenix last night, and I forgot to check with Zeke to see if he could give me a ride home from the Muffler Shop. I suspect he won’t be able to as his friend is ailing. (The one that gave him the Lexus.)

That means I will have to go with Plan B and that’s not even fun to contemplate.

Good morning. I don’t feel rested, either. Several things hurt, although none acutely. Getting old, as OldTax-lady says, is not for the weak!

Walmart.com says our Unacceptable Receptacle will arrive Saturday.

What a floofy squee! I heart it!

That would make my day better all around.

My friend Sharon from Cub Scouts has Federal jury duty this week. She said last night that she was thinking of trying to take her cat for Emotional Support today.

I hope the new Unacceptable Receptacle is big enough to be acceptable for Shannon’s bulk.

Another morning when my age is only in my body while my mind tries to figure out why I’m not moving very quickly.

There is a woman in this complex who has a little tiny Yorkie, and ostensibly, he is her companion animal. She puts him on the leash, and when he stops to do his business, she just drags him with his leg in the air or his rump in a squat and doesn’t clean up after him.

He is no more a companion animal than I am. He’s just a convenience when she wants him to be and a nuisance otherwise.

Morning everyone. Busy day yesterday - which is unusual when I’m not “working.”

Anyway, I have an offer for the job I wanted. The offer is, however, slightly lower than I wanted. So Mrs. ArGee and I are mulling it over and praying about it.

Further bulletins as events warrant (or not).

Tell them you really like them and want the job, but it’s lower than you had hoped, if they won’t budge initially (and it’s 50:50 they will) say ‘tell you what, I really want the job, can we at least negotiate an early review? I’m confident that after six months you’ll see my production rates a higher pay.’

Then don’t stop looking, it’s good to have a Plan B in your pocket...

Best wishes! It’s good to have a job you want ...

Marmalade cat...

...with matching lizard cape, fab feline fashion!

They came up from their original. They’re pretty close. And NYC is being flooded with H1B people who have freshly minted certifications in what I do but no real world experience. The company that would be hiring me understands this and really wants me on board. But the company where I would be working is really squeezing rates.

I would have an opportunity to see an increase in 6 months regardless because that’s the term of each task order.

RE: Your tagline - the only effective strategy is that old Army dictum - if you see the bomb disposal technician running, follow him.

[Tax-chick]

I think we have that blanket.

[Monkey Face]

HAH! You’re just jealous because you didn’t think of it first! ;o]

[Monkey Face]

Tres chic!

[Monkey Face]

It sounds promising! I’ll keep praying for your employment until I hear you have been hired. ;o]

[Silentgypsy]

Wow! You should have a job that helps other people get a job!
Morning, y’all.

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you!
