Call Me Five

I did it. I got my offer Thursday night and gave my notice Friday morning. Since I am going to a direct competitor in a management capacity, yesterday was my last day to work, but I will still get paid since I gave notice. Kewl. The upside downside of it was that the Dill wasn't there so I gave my notice to his boss who is extremely cool and decent. He almost got me to reconsider. I know he would have been able to get Abby to stay. The Dill came back late in the afternoon and also asked me to stay. Then he gave me his card in case I wanted to come back. Thanks, buddy. I might not have known how to reach you otherwise. Just part of why he's a Dill.

The goodbyes were sad but I left at the top of my game and on good terms with the door wide open. I really couldn't have asked for more.

Then our fam when out for a celebratory dinner last night and one of the servers dropped an entire tray of food near us. I got like one drop of ketchup splattered on my cardigan and Miss Boo got some on her t-shirt and the manager picked up our tab as a result. Good deal!

Enjoy the weekend.

The Funniest Part

Is that I thought it was funny. Oh well, thanks for the traffic. There are those who can only feel good about themselves by trying to make others feel bad.

This might be of interest to any pet owners. If you would like something that allows

"your pet to retain his natural look, self esteem and aids in the trauma associated with neutering."

This may just be for you. Unfortunately there isn't anything specifically for a pet rabbit, but maybe the x-small feline will work.

Abby quit her job today. How many more need to leave before someone figures out what or who the problem is. Since March she is the fourth person to leave. Hopefully I will be number five. I had a second interview today with one company and am still talking to two company. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

You're clueless if you didn't realize that Denny had to die.

If you comment...

1. I'll respond with something random I like about you.
2. I'll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I'll name something we should do together.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me (or just me).
5. I'll tell you my first/clearest memory of you.
6. I'll leave you a quote that is somehow appropriate to you.
7. I'll ask you something that I've always wondered about you.
8. If I do this for you, you must post this on your journal so you can do the same for other people.

Wanna play?

Love, Loss and Life

It's taken me a while to gear up to talk about this but here it goes. The Friday evening before Easter we got a call that Miss Boo's dad, my ex, had just days to live. He's been fighting cancer for a couple of years now and is nearing the end of the fight.

My husband immediately booked a hotel room and Miss Boo and I flew out early early early Easter Sunday morning. We rented a car and were with the ex and his wife that afternoon. We visited them for 2 days and I really think Miss Boo found some good closure to the situation. She didn't know he was terminal until last friday.

We called various family members and had a nice little reunion right there in Germantown. It felt great to be able to pull all these people together for Miss Boo and everyone else.

Those few days were good and bad. I'm surprised at how deeply emotional I felt about the whole thing. I don't know. It was just hard.

We did seem to make it just in time as he passed away on April 25.

O bla di o bla da...
