Well, Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. T and W were excellent hosts, and the food was great. Didn't have enough Cope's dried corn to make enough for everyone, so found a new recipe and gave it a try. Corn Pudding. Oh yum. It was great; we'll definately add it to our list, and probably make it throughout the year as well as at holidays. A good time was had by all, there was plenty to eat and games were played and enjoyed. And of course, that Patriots won, and that's always good for me!

First day on the job went very well. Found out that not only are they paying me for the 6 1/2 hours I worked, I'm also getting holiday pay for Thanksgiving, and the day after. Can't beat that deal, now can you? I'm very happy. The job seems like something I'll really be able to get my brain around, and do a good job once I get going. I don't know how long that will take, especially since the holidays are coming up, and since they have no space for me to have a desk. I mean literally - there are no empty cubes or anything. Much of the job is very, very similar to what I did back in the day at HomeClub. I'm very much looking forward to this, and my internal dialogue has already changed to accept the fact that I won't be up to speed on everything right away. I feel good about this, and I couldn't be happier. Of course, neither could the girls; they're all excited about going into the Voyager program at school!

ERROR MSG Well. Apparently I should put a little more stock in what my Bunco friends have to say, no? Not only did they call me Friday afternoon to come in Monday morning for an interview with one of the head honchos, after said interview they gave me an offer letter! Which I of course, promptly signed. I have a job! Yeah me!! Ok, it's not like it's going to be huge money or prestige or anything, but it's a nice jumping off place to get back into the swing of employment. I am very excited about this company, and my job. Payroll clerk is not a big deal, but again, it's a good start. And it's something I know pretty well. I just have to take some time and learn their systems. I go in today for a little training, and then Monday morning things get intensive. I'll be jumping in at the deep end as we'll be running the big field payroll. At least they won't expect me to run it myself yet, I hope ;)

I haven't heard anything yet, but as I was reminded last night at Bunco, it is still early. I guess the reason I'm concerned is because Kathy will be on vacation next week, so I was sort of expecting to hear something sooner. Oh well. What will be, will be, right? Isn't that what Doris Day said? Well, not in so many words, but you got the drift. I was complaining last night to W about trying to find a restaurant for us to go out to next Thursday instead of cooking a big dinner for the 4 of us. Well, apparently, later when he was talking to D, he invited us to their house. I'd love to go, I really like them people. But I just hope they don't think I was Jonesing for an invite...I'll have to ask what I can bring. I hope they'll let me bring a chocolate pecan pie...

ERROR MSG Second interview went well, I think. But then I always think they go well, and I haven't always gotten the job now have I? In any event, I am feeling pretty good. I did my best at the interview, and I don't think I became a blubbering idiot. Which is good, of course, because who wants to hire a blubbering idiot to do payroll?! They said there was another person they needed to talk to, and then possibly I might be asked back to meet with one of the big head honchos. So, we'll see. They're looking for the person they hire to begin on December 2nd, and since Thanksgiving is next week, I expect they'll be making a decision pretty soon. I hope it's me, but who knows?

T is feeling better, thank goodness. Because I have a 2nd interview today! Yeah me! I was just thinking yesterday afternoon how disappointed I was because it was apparent that I wasn't going to get this job. I still don't know if I'll get the job, but at least I got another interview. I'm a little nervous - don't want to blow it. I'll try really hard to become another blubbering idiot like I did last time...wish me luck!

Well, T woke up with a fever this morning, so I had to cancel both their ortho checks. The woman at the dentist's office must be new - I didn't recognize her name, and she was really unpleasant. So, T is not going to her DI meeting this afternoon, but I still have to hold K's meeting here at the house. Which is why I should be cleaning the house instead of sitting at the computer right now. The kitchen is a total disaster, which will probably take me over an hour to clean. But then the rest of the house should go pretty quickly. Washed some of the towels that were accumulating on the laundry room floor, and also the bathroom rug that Bedford used one day. The dryer just buzzed, and I guess I should go fold those towels, put out fresh ones in the girls' bathroom and get that rug on the floor. And then make some lunch for me and T, and then get started on the kitchen. Yippee-skippee for me.
