Where did the weekend go...

The truck started yesterday afternoon, the bathroom is almost finished (still needs one piece of trim and a coat of sealant on the grout), Shane and Rich are both safely home from their trip, Chas has a new treadmill, and I am back at work. It was a very short ‘long’ weekend! I can’t believe how quickly they pass!

I am pondering a new/old piece to write/revise. I have been working on if for some time now, but I can’t quite get it right. I always thought that if I lived through my childhood, I would write a book about it. I have written many chapters…but…oddly enough…it’s the beginning and perspective that I can’t get. I thought about taking it to my last writer’s group meeting for their input, but…part of me isn’t sure just how much of it I am ready to share. I think that once I get it completed…I can let it go…but I have to get it right first. I begin to write about events, and the next thing I know…I am remembering other events…words and faces…things long ago buried. I know that the sensible thing to do would be to just move ahead and leave it buried…but it’s like an itch that I can’t scratch…I can’t get putting it on paper out of my head. I will work on it.

Marvin may have a job offer by three o’clock this afternoon! It is at a place that he really would like to work and I know he will do well at it! But, I am so absolutely fried right now that it is unreal! Apparently, when this place called LBC to speak to them about his references…they spoke to the female (NOT A LADY) who was put in charge of his department two days before they let him go. This particular woman is a horrible person and every single person she comes in contact with has trouble with her (bar none)! No one will work with her…vendors have even refused to do business with her. I worked at LBC for 4 years and I have seen this for myself. She is abrasive, unethical, a habitual liar, extremely combative, and the worst ‘know it all’ on the planet. When they called LBC, she did not speak kindly of Marvin, and told them that he ‘likes to butt heads with people’. Thank heavens they decided that they liked his initial interview and resume enough that they wanted to ask him, first hand, about the comments that she made, and he feels that he was able to set their minds at ease! I would soooooooo much enjoy going over there and ‘slapping her backwards’! Not only were her comments out of line and untrue, but they came from someone who has achieved her own status in the company through questionable avenues as she stepped ON every one else to get there. Oh what a world we live in!!!!

Be Well!
