Strange dream last night.  BD and I were in a movie theater watching a movie.  When it was done, we filed out, and somehow got roped into running a naked road race.  Apparently, it was some kind of underground annual tradition for the first day of spring.  Something about going a half mile from the NC line in the mountains, and running there and ( Read more... )

I'm done with my interviews.  That was fun.  I met with eight different people, one at a time, in one day, for 30 to 45 minutes each.  I'm confident that I won't get it, which is ok.  One of the people (there were only three of us) that interviewed was hand picked by the person vacating the position.  I know him, and I think he would be a good ( Read more... )

I have a job interview set for next Friday in Glendale.  It's for a financial analyst position.  Really, it's kind of a dual-role position, or at least that's my perception at this point.  The bulk of my responsibility would be traveling to various plant sites, working with them to implement Globe/SAP, and providing support in that capacity, before ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've posted a dream.  This one was a meld of my current world.

I go over to check on the progress of the garage.  The contractor has fixed everything, painted everything, and reestablished electricity.  That's actually a bad thing.  This means that we have to get on the phone with the insurance adjuster and tell him we didn't ( Read more... )

N2 got into mommy's panty drawer tonight.  He decided he would look fantastic in a pair of pink g-string undies with a cut-out heart in the back.  If I didn't know he was all boy, I might be worried.

Have you ever had one of those days months?  I don't want to mention what is going good for me right now, for fear of more havoc the gods may wreak.

I heard this song on the radio yesterday, "Some Kind of Wonderful" by Grand Funk Railroad.  Great song, but I didn't  think it would lead to an LJ post title ( Read more... )

I answered the phone yesterday to an insurance case manager for my car.  It was picked up yesterday by a towing company, arranged by us through the Porsche Dealership, to be dropped off at their service department for repairs.  The agent on the phone said that she saw (I suppose she was looking at notations on her computer screen) where ( Read more... )

Thought I'd post a little bit about our fire event.  It was a garage fire.  It was limited to the garage only, although some smoke found its way indoors.  Not really enough to cause damage, just a smell.  The garage itself is intact, albeit slightly charred.  Will probably need a little structural work.  The contents of the garage didn't fare as ( Read more... )

Again, apologies to BD for the title idea theft. I thought it was appropriate for today's subject, which is Captain Chesley B. "Sully" Sullenberger III from US Airways flight 1549.  This guy did a fantastic job at the controls.  That is the key word to the entire situation, control.  Oddly enough, I am one of small group of people (alive) that have ( Read more... )
