Cynthia-- nice looking wheat sprouts. I've been haing trouble trying to sprout the oats I buy from my feed company. Tried twice--not 1 sprout. WHat gives?

On another note, I am so proud of myself. I processed 6 roosters tonight. Very quick. Knife was useless--used a scalpel. A Kenyan showed me a quick way and boy, it is fast. Of course I have many more to get done this week. Had the boys band their favs--I would feel guilty forever if I killed one of their special boys. THey have a nack for picking roosters as day old chicks!

Ok, SCG...what/who, do you think you look like? You go first.

Well... my alter-ego is SuperChemicalGirl... obviously I dress up in tights, knee high stiletto boots and a cape and go out and phight pharmacy crime. In this fantasy I don't have cellulite and a post-divorce 20 pounds. And I'm much more coordinated so that I can actually wear knee high stiletto boots without tripping over everything. And in my fantasy, Facilities and Human Resources are filled with fully functioning, capable human beings, allowing me to extend all my efforts to phight pharmacy crime.





What I actually look like (and there's a bad story that goes with this photo explaining why the bottom of my pants are held up with rubber bands):

X 2 You got me at rubber bands!! Must be another great story behind pants held up with rubber bands when there is no apparent water flooding the floor.

Ding Ding! It had been cleaned up in that particular section.

Came in one day to the floor drain in the housekeeper closet flooding the place. I certainly didn't want to touch it (hence the gloves) and I didn't want my pants to soak it up, so I got creative with rubber bands.

That's one way to get the remodel we had been asking for!



I'm glad I can make you guys laugh (hopefully...). I'm both lucky and unlucky that life usually gives me a lot of material to work with. The truth is always stranger than any story I could make up.

Cynthia, nope no word yet on the job

If I don't hear anything today, I am going to email the person who would be my boss to see what gives. Its been six weeks since my first interview and about a month before I would have to show up there. C'mon people, I can't get things going until I know.nUGH
SCG, my company is not usually as inept as they have been in the last week. It is not the group I work with, it is the people at the main company. They are responsible for building the equipment we have to test and then ship it out to us. They give no thought to how much it affects our ability to deliver on time if they send us crap. There are times when we get a lot of crap and there are times when we get quality stuff. We have too much respect for the "customer" knowing that our product is used by the military so we make sure it works right before we send it out after test. We have a new system that we are getting ready to deliver and they sent us a ____________ sandwich. We are working our way out from underneath but I think this is the first time I have ever seen my boss (who is a really great boss) sit in my office and say over and over again, "I love my job" to convince himself. We all knew that this first system was going to be a goat rope but really what they initially sent us made it impossible to get the job done. We have probably spent more on shipping stuff they forgot to send than I spend on groceries all year.

Good one 7, guessing that is you calling your chickens.
