Seems that way for me too.


Anyway, I don't have much of an "agenda" in the upcoming month per se, but I will likely find out about the "library page" position I interviewed for earlier this week.

White rabbit!

Since the end of September last year, we have traveled far and wide, met up family and friends, and if course the wedding of our son.

That should be nice. :)

hope he enjoys them.

So...this month I will probably finish the task that I've been doing in my internship (updating Quickbooks); not sure if they'll have me work on anything more, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

I see. Do you know when you will be coming back?

James played in a concert this evening.  It was a percussion showcase.  There are three percussion groups at school.  they did some fun things.  One group used drum sticks to play on some plastic chairs - it was interesting to listen to the different sounds you get depending on whether the stick hits the seat, side, leg or back of the chair.

the group James is in played a piece just striking drum sticks together in various rhythms.

The top group played a percussion (including xylophone etc) version of Saint-Saens The Swan.

You haven't flown on any American airlines have you? There is a race to the bottom. The industry was deregulated in the 1990s and now what once used to be part of your ticket, you now have to pay. Most airlines you have to pay to check a bag. JetBlue is the only hold out to this and I have heard that they will also start charging to check a bag. As a result, people have carryons that take up a lot of room. Food that was once part of the ticket, now you have to pay for. The seats have gotten much smaller and narrower and VERY uncomfortable. I'm a small person and I am VERY cramped in those seats. Airlines purposely make things uncomfortable so you will pay extra not to be uncomfortable. You can pay more to have more leg room. You can pay more for food. You can pay more for blankets and pillows (that they used to hand out all the time). Next thing you know, they will make you pay if you need to use the rest room.  ::)

Here is an interesting article if you are interest.

Unfortunately, there are way too many of us who have to fly (it's the only way we can get to Puerto Rico since they haven't built the bridge yet  ;) :D ;D ) that they can get away with it.


Sorry. Rant over.

One of the cheapo british airlines (Ryanair I think) tried to introduce that!

Last night Dai and I went to the Senior Musicians Dinner at school.  We had been invited because of our help with various music school concerts, working the bar etc., and my contribution to the staff talent show.

Apart from some technical issues (they couldn't seem to get every microphone and pick-up working at the same time) it was a good evening.


this morning Dai and the children have gone up to the Lake District for a weekend orienteering coaching.  I have some housework to do (as ever) and I am also prepping for an interview that I have on Tuesday.  My immediate boss is retiring and I have applied for her job.  Before the interview I have to write a description of plans for a Science Taster Day for Year 11 pupils looking to join the school for Years 12 and 13.

One of our internal flights on our US holiday was with AA,  I found the seating OK, but we had to pay extra for inflight food. The air staff I found entertaining...

I've been there. In fact, I have the tee shirt to prove it. My friend who I went with lives in the Boston area. When she got married, her reception was right next to Cheers. When they show the exterior of the building, you can see an awning and that was where her reception was.

The trip was our journey home.

We arrived safely, still jet lagged.

I hope your jetlag is over and you're  well resting :)

It always takes several days for me, rest is the keyword here.

I'm sure you are glad to be back home. As for jet lagged, it took me several days and there was only a one-hour difference. It is just traveling itself that really tires me out-waiting in line, waiting for the flight, just sitting there for hours in the plane. And this time we took the redeye which made it worse-leaving at 3 a.m. but we arrived home early in the day but after being awake all night didn't make it easy.

Does anyone remember me posting this?


On a totally different note: just tonight, our choir gave a concert to celebrate their 85th anniversary. I don't know why I haven't mentioned this before. :-\\

Anyway - in my 17 year experience with the choir, I'd say this was the best concert we ever gave. 8) I think the audience agreed (judging by the standing ovation we got).

Maybe I can find some footage of the concert online, in case anyone's interested.


Well, the DVD of the concert is finally out! :D And it's worth watching/listening to, if I say so myself. So in case anyone is interested in a copy, just let me know.

(Note: I think it's only fair to let you know beforehand that the vast majority of the recordings are in Dutch)

My brain just completely blanked out and I just got all sad.  I thought I'd come here and play some games.

That's too bad, but you will get it next time.  I always did poorly in my interviews.  I'm just not good at talking to people.

Yesterday we were told that we are going out for the evening for a surprise. It was to see the musical "Miss Saigon", which was spectacular and we all enjoyed.

I really enjoyed that web-accessed choir concert, that you directed me to a few years back.  I was surprised that the songs were sung in English.  It was very nice.  It was really neat having known that it was taking place halfway around the world and that I actually "knew" someone singing and could listen to them sing.  :)

Do you want a copy of the DVD? If so, just PM me your address, Patty. The copy needs to be ordered, so it will probably take a few more weeks before it's ready.

How much does it cost in Dutch Kroener? (I think that's your currency anyways.)  I can always go to the bank and get some.  I have to really think about it though, I've been trying to save for our move to Thailand that is coming in a few months.

EDIT: Just looked up the currency, apparently it's Euros.  Still could pay you in that.

Today I was feeling a bit crummy; might be something in the air. I have had to blow my nose, and on top of that, had a mild headache. So I left my internship office at 3pm instead of 4, so that I could go home and rest. Now I feel a bit better; the pain is gone, but the nose problem is still there; I just hope I'm not getting sick again.

Feel better.

Here it is spring allergies and sinus headaches everyday. I'm very joyful that the weather is warm and sunny again (so far...) but it always plays havoc with my allergies.

I don't think my condition has to do with allergies per se, but as I said in my previous post, it could be something in the air.

Thank you both. I think it's common for people to get sick from stuff in the air. Could be the sudden change in the weather in southern California. Earlier this week it was kindof cooler, but yesterday and today it has warmed up.

And I think I'm gonna stay at home tomorrow, rather than go to the library to volunteer. I also had plans to go out for dinner with some friends, but I'm probably not gonna do that either.

I take it as a sign that the universe is winking at me. Also, that it came on Saint Patrick's day adds more meaning to it. Probably a nice little winky wink that 'he's' or 'she's' watching over me. Either that, or I'm going bonkers!  :D

That's quite OK, Patty. I have ordered one extra DVD in advance, so when the time is right for you... ;)

My mom was telling me how I limit myself and stuff, but does she understand how hard it is for me when Im always blanking out and whatever.  Am I suppose to keep doing stuff until I kill myself or can I stop and try to relax with the little bit I can still do?

Technically found money is supposed to be turned into the police dept.  I don't know about your state but in Cali you can (or you could I'd have to double check it didn't change) after 90 days -if unclaimed- the finder gets to keep it.

Did someone give you a reward? ???

Not lying in someone's bank account?

True story:

One time my mother took us to an old amusement park in Lake George, NY called Gaslight Village. When we arrived, the prices had gone up since the last time we had been there and my mother didn't have enough cash to pay for all of us to get in. Disappointed, we left. My mother decided on a Plan B which was an arcade that was in Lake George. We were there probably less then 10 minutes when my sister found $30 laying on a machine. She gave the money to my mother telling her where it came from. My mother went to the office and told them that this money was found on a machine. The person working there wanted the money. My mother told them no but gave them her name, phone number, & address should anyone come looking for the money. We left the arcade and went back to Gaslight Village. No one ever called looking for their money.



Cat

nope, someone must've got into their car and money must've fell out their wallet or pocket.

Tomorrow morning at 9:30 (Pacific time) I have an interview for a payroll clerk position. So I will need to prep for that.

Did someone give you a reward? ???


As an agent of the police department I'm not allowed to accept a reward......also I didn't find the money so I wasn't entitled to one anyway. I just rec'd it from the good Samaritans who turned it in. Most of them didn't want to leave a name for a potential reward.

Nice.


True story.

I once dropped $40 in a grocery store parking lot and when I went back to see if it was turned in...it hadn't been.    :-\\



Another true story.

I was once song laundry and left the laundromat to run an errand. At the checkout I realized the $20 I had in my pocket wasn't there any longer.  I paid with  an atm card and drove back to the laundry mat.  There were new cars in the lot but the space I left was still open.  Before I pulled in I noticed my $20 lying on the ground where I'd dropped it 20 mins before when I took my keys out of my pocket!  8)

It must've dropped out of someone's wallet or pocket then might driven off without realizing that they dropped it.

Tomorrow morning at 9:30 (Pacific time) I have an interview for a payroll clerk position. So I will need to prep for that.


Good Luck.

I once dropped $40 in a grocery store parking lot and when I went back to see if it was turned in...it hadn't been.

So you lost the 40 dollars? :(

Yes. Either another customer found it and kept it or the cart guy found it and didn't turn it in like he should have.

May be the finder of the money subsequently lost it?

Good luck!

Good luck and all the best.

Good Luck.

Thank you all; I just got back home a few minutes ago, and I feel it went just fine. The person asked me why I feel I would be a good fit for the position, as well as my knowledge of Quickbooks and Excel, and I feel confident with the answers I gave. The interview took no more than ten minutes altogether, btw. In addition, I arrived early.

Are you referring to me?

maybe he counted his money in public?

By the way, I thought I was gonna be done with my internship today, but I didn't quite get the last thing done today. I have last month's bank statement to go through (and enter the transactions into Quickbooks), and then it'll all be done. I'll do that on Monday.

An update... I am finished with entering all the bank transactions through the most recent statements, but I am not quite done with the internship in general. I have been asked to use Quickbooks to prepare financial statements, so I will be working on that today when I go in.

I've been pulling  weeds and potting the few plants I have now.  Now I'm ready for some help from my mom and or dad to get my dirt turned

...and today I was able to create the year-end financial statements for each of the four years for which I entered the bank transactions. This was important because my supervisor needed this information for tax purposes.

And now, my internship is finished...after three months. (It was originally planned to last for four months, but I accomplished everything I was assigned to do, and it only took me three months.) So now I will continue to search for other possible employment opportunities; that is, until I get hired for something. The internship gave me three months of experience, and my supervisor even offered to write me a recommendation letter (which will be snail-mailed to me).

That will be nice for you.  I do not like gardening myself, but I do love looking at gardens.  ;D

What plants are you potting?

Last day of work for three weeks.  The children finish school at lunchtime.  Then the staff all go for a pig out lunch to celebrate the schools founder.

We had salmon and asparagus as a starter, I chose pheasant for my main course (a little tough unfortunately) and then Easter lemon pavlova (the Mary Berry recipe - I checked!)

Now I have to balance being around the house to keep Elizabeth on track with her revision - she has national exams starting in May - and keeping James entertained without disturbing Elizabeth.

You dined divine!

I can see movies on the offer here?

I am also having to balance the number of treats on offer.  Partly out of fairness and also because James is having to pay to replace a watch.

He took a friend's watch as a joke, put it somewhere "obvious" so the boy could get it back.  unfortunately the boy didn't spot the watch and when they went back to get it later the watch was no longer there.  Obviously someone else took a fancy to it.  :-\\

we are also in discussions with the school about some of the attitudes they think is acceptable.  James would never have thought it was ok to take someone's possessions as a joke before starting here - yet it happens all the time.  Also annoying/disturbing is the fact that someone clearly thought it acceptable to take the watch they found rather than handing it to a member of staff.

don't you just have to throw a book or two or twenty at James?  ???

:D

This is true.  We went to the library on Saturday.  Elizabeth also picked up a Harry Potter book translated into Spanish so she can practice that language.

Although his current obsession is watching people playing computer games on youtube channels - weird if you ask me!

Interesting... I watched teens play the 8bit Nintendo game Punch Out... but that's because it's a game I really loved playing back in the day and these kids were really bad at it.

Actually I guess I watch more than that.. on the Fine Bros react channel they have teens and kids and elders playing all kinds of games. I watch that regularly

I do the very same thing.

Geology C  ;D
Philosophy B+  ;)
History of Rock and Roll B  :D

So far for this semester.

I took a Geology course before, and it was even uglier than this. I got an F last time, a C is far better, but remind me that Geology just might not be my strong suit.

My brother suggested that I not take a class unless I'm really, really, interested in it!  :P

Like I said somewhere on this site a few weeks or months ago, Geology and me are never going to be friends!  :)

Well...all of us have our strong subjects and our weak ones. Certain history courses were not my strong suit...and as I found out in my college years, computer science was not exactly my strong suit either. :-\\

Yeah, most people have a subject or two that they aren't very good at. Another one that I'm not very good at is engineering. Doh!  8)

What happened to amjikloviet? :(

April Fools  :D

I'm not sure; she appears to have deleted her user account. ??? Not sure why.

I'm probably not good at that either. I don't really know much about it, which is why I never thought to pursue it. The same can be said about other courses of study.

Haven't seen her in a while.

I'm lazy...

Where's the April thread?
