Right now I'm ... Janine awesomeness
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter!Sheila
Just got home from the SIL with the rest of the family, ate way too much and thinking its time for a nap. My daughter is back from college and is resting, so this may be a good time to get some shut eye.
Just be up by seven, Jim. There's a rubber game to view.
Hi everybody - I hope you've all had a marvelous weekend of Easter/Passover/springiness. My family left this morning, and I have managed to go to the gym, go to the barn, and do my friggin' taxes. If I do laundry as well, I will get to wear my Super Productive Girl cape AND reward myself with a few hours to veg out and read.
i am with you sarah. whew! busy weekend. i am FINALLY in my chair with a diet coke and my dog by my side. ahhh
Winding down the long weekend, preparing my mind to go back to work tomorrow. Reading and recording In Treatment on HBO (great series).
Larry,I'm hooked on "In Treatment" as well. Every time I sit down to watch one episode, I can't get up until I have watched 5. It's deadly for my schedule but wonderful to watch!

What is it about?

What is it about?
It's about a therapist. The majority of the program is the sessions he has with his patients. The writing is excellent -- and the actors are very good, too.Try it -- you'll like it.
I'm so excited! I'm back at work, today. I'm out of the house and actually wearing shoes for the first time in a WEEK!
Way to wear shoes! We're glad you're feeling better.
Shoes, Jackie?[image error]
Thanks, guys!I think I must still sound pretty sick, but I doubt I'm contagious at this point.
I think my coworkers think I might be, though. I usually keep my office door open a bit, but I notice today whenever anyone visits me, they close it completely on their way out. Hmm...
Is there a "Quarantine" sign on your door? That might be a clue.
Larry, what the heck was that "shoe" display?
Just silliness, Jackie. Just silliness.
Silliness: ACCOMPLISHED! Gold star, Larry. : )
Right now I'm doing a happy dance because I just got a JOB, y'all! It's part time so I may even get to stay in school!
great news sarah. congrats. blessings as you start this.
Hurray, Sarah! What kind of job did you get?
Good luck with the new job, other Sarah!
It's a senior teller job. I was worried I wouldn't get it because I was overqualified (I have 12 years of banking experience, and have been an officer of 2 banks; they even told me I was overqualified) but I think they have plans for me to advance.
So back to your old line of work, then? It's good you can use that experience and STILL go back to school, Sarah!
Yeah, I need to find out how long they think it would be before the hours increase. Right now it's 20-25 hours, and they said I'd get more hours later on. I need to find out what they mean by that, and whether or not they think I should register for the fall. I haven't yet, because I wanted to be open to any job.
Congratulations Sarah, hope it works out that you can continue your schooling if you desire.
the only thing i am overqualified for is procrastination but i keep putting off applying for it
Yeah, Sarah. Congrats. I on the other hand have three more days of my good job (I have another, not-so-great job) as tax season 08 comes to an end.
I am excited about my mini-vacation coming up.
Awesome, Sarah!I have never understood this whole "overqualified" thing. What are they afraid of with people who know too much? I feel like I don't understand.
And Jackie and Larry, there's nothing wrong with those shoes...
Have a great minivacation, Jules...
Right now I'm home, alone, and getting ready to eat ice cream and watch Twilight.
I'm not kidding.
Getting in touch with your inner teen, RA?
I'm taking a break, and eating chocolate and strawberries together. It's a great pick-me-up! Two more hours of work to go, before I can go home and collapse, and cough unrestrainedly.
whew

THAT is awesome! :)
They don't want "overqualified" people because they don't want you to quit in 2 weeks when something higher-paying comes along.I'm going to make peanut butter Rice Krispy squares to celebrate. And there may be some chocolate-dipping involved.
Oh. I guess that makes sense. I don't know. I guess it depends on the situation.Back to Twilight, which I have to say is pretty good so far.
I was prepared to have difficulties with the film adaptation of "Twilight" after all the criticism I heard, RA. I was very pleased! In fact, I'd like to see it again very soon.I loved the camera work. Oh and my appreciation of Kristen Stewart which was burgeoning before, grew!
Have fun!
RA, you've made my day... you and David Wallace Foster.
There was a huge bank robber/cop shootout two blocks from my work today! Some bank robber got shot and killed! The students are complaining the shootout messed up traffic.I heard one student claimed the shootout as her excuse for missing class. Her class started at 9. The shootout was close to ten. Students, please, it's about good technique...
Maybe she is psychic and new it was going to happen so stayed away from the area.
Could happen.
Could happen.
I've noticed that an unusual number of the News of the Weird posts seem to be about foiled robberies these days. Or very creative ones.It's pretty horrible that somebody got shot and killed and the complaint is that traffic was affected.
Sarah Pi wrote: "It's pretty horrible that somebody got shot and killed and the complaint is that traffic was affected."Also a sign of the times, maybe.
Larry- Sorry for rephrasing you :)There were several signs of the times in RA's story in my opinion...
You know, what's weird about it is how...in stride...everyone's taking it. Some guy woke up this morning with a plan to rob a bank, got shot where we all get on the expressway, died, and...we just sort of went on with class and checked with the people who showed up a little late to make sure they were ok. And this isn't exactly a high-crime area, you know? I can't quite get my head around it. I don't want to sound mean or coarse...but it's kind of a big deal, I think, when someone gets shot on the street...but...what are you supposed to do? We just went ahead and had class. Know what I mean?
The world keeps on turning...

I've spent nearly the whole night listening to Arcade Fire, drinking tea, and writing about things I miss, haha. I should try to sleep a bit before Easter Service.
