Sing it with me! “This is my stop! Got to get off! I may go pop! Excuse me…excuse me! I’ve got to beee dirrrrect! If I’m wrong, please correct! You’re standing on my neck!” ~Splendora, “You’re Standing on My Neck” (Daria main theme song) (Why am I the only one singing??) Anyway, so in another…

A note from me…
to me… Dear Elaine, Please stop looking at Las Vegas vacations. Your vacation is over. You were there for a freaking week. Yes, all the banner ads on all the websites you visit (at home AND at work…sigh) are for packages for the hotels but that does NOT mean that you should click on them….
More yammering…
(Or, the post about the job interview was getting long) Unrelated thoughts: After my job interview, I had to change out of my Stupid Suit (and I get to buy another suit if I have a second interview, shoot me now) so instead of being Not an Idiot and changing in a gas station bathroom…
Mahjobis…what???
Hear ye, hear ye: I think I might actually like my job. Who knew? Mahjobisnotsobaddis. So, I’m still in the endless pursuit of obtaining employment with a company not in the throes of a New Chapter (11). Today I had a job interview at a payroll outsourcer. I think it went well. I interviewed with…
Shopping smart…
Okay…now, I am no Almighty D when it comes to bargain shopping (seriously, she walks out of Target, Rite Aid, the grocery store with a land yacht full of stuff for $10 – I should call her Almighty D, the shopping goddess) but I have developed a few edicts for shopping throughout the last few…
Books
So, I am going to give a big thumbs up to a website I recently discovered: www.bookmooch.com. Basically, it is a book trading website. If I have a copy of Random Chick-lit Book #4 but I don’t want it any more, I can list it in my “inventory.” If you want a copy of Random…
So sleepy…
(and yes, I know that while I am sleepy, my brother and his wife are drop dead exhausted) So, today was a day I call SUPER PAYROLL WEDNESDAY. The workday started at 5 am. Ugh, I hate getting up early. And since sooooomeone insisted on watching all 55 hours of the Celebrity Apprentice finale show…
Aunty
So I’m an aunt again – my first niece! Macauley/Bill and his wife Michelle had their daughter on Sunday evening. 7 lbs, 3 oz, 20 1/4 inches. Brown hair, eyes are TBD. YAY!!!!! I have seen a few pictures on Michelle’s Facebook and the happy family are adorable! Can’t wait to meet her!
Las Vegas, see you in 2022!*
So, we’re home. We’ve actually been home about 24 hours, though. The flights were fine and getting to fly first class from Las Vegas to Texas was really nice. I was reminded of this on the flight from Texas to Cheesecake City, which I spent in the middle seat between Gene and some twentysomething guy…
Holy cow it’s Wednesday???
(And the day is half over in the Eastern time zone??) So, yesterday. Gene was supposed to have lunch and dinner with various people from the conference he’s here to attend. I decided to take the monorail to the stop for the Venetian, the Mirage and (I think) Treasure Island, see what there was to…
