Nibbs XII (Page 12)

barqhead - 2008-01-11 7:20 AM How was the vodka? I find it the ultimate way to mellow out after stressful situations. Good morning, Nibbs. Guess what my hubby ebayed for me and gave me last night? A Garmin 305! My Polar battery died and I had to send it off to get the batteries replaced. So I've been training naked except on the road bike. Now I have a new toy! I am so lucky. I do not know how the man can stand me sometimes (especially when I'm hormonal). He can be so thoughtful.

Morning Kristen!!!  This project has been kicking my butt!  Been to Albuquerque and Chicago the past couple weeks, and off to Chicago again next week.  The dust is settling a bit, so I thought I'd at least get my morning fix on BT...

enders_shadow - 2008-01-11 12:07 PM Nice posting efficiency, Kendra... Beth, are you paying attention to how it's done?

kns57 - 2008-01-11 1:08 PM

Yeah, but I bet it took longer to do it my way than Beth's way.  LOL

And didn't you go a little post wild this morning?

enders_shadow - 2008-01-11 12:09 PM It was Sal's fault. Isn't everything? I think Mila will back me up on this. I was going to conserve posts and do one big one, but he tempted me.

Where's the fun (and increased post count) in that?

I did it!!!!! Finally found the location for option 2 and just back from applying...It's a clean facility, small in size.  I think 40 beds. There's a new hospital being built right behind it (umm, rebuilding a hospital that is already in existance and I worked for the parent co. of that place in PA--won't go back to working under that group...)And, it's only about 14 miles from my door to theirs, it took about 20 minutes to get there (my current job is 35+ miles and 40 minutes of driving).

Option 1 still has not re-posted the job I applied for so I'll keep checking their  web site.  However...if option 2 calls me for an iterview beore option 1 re-posts that position I've been waiting for...I will probably take option 2.  It's closer to home which is part of the goal, near the battlefield that I occasionally train on fo running/biking (a 4 mile road w/ lots of moderate hills) and I have to go past my gym to get there so I could always go to the gym before/after work depending on my shift...

enders_shadow - 2008-01-11 1:36 PM Good luck...sending you "Get a good job" vibes! Sounds like #2 has some positives... And just on a side note, people in Richmond give me such a hard time because we live so far away from work. Ha! Sugar daddy has a 15-20 minute drive to downtown, I have a 12-minute drive if I'm not stopping at the Monkey's school/daycare. 12-20 minutes is flippin' heavenly, after living in DC and Chicago and spending 45-75 minutes on the train in each city. You must be driving forever forever forever to go 40 minutes in Richmond.

HI NIbbs,

I know, been a while since I've been around.

Sounds like life is pushing everyone forward.  Lots of good vibes circulating around.  Hopefully we will all make it through our obstacles at work alive and better for it.  (aren't challenges great, we learn so much about ourselves during these times)... yes, I'm playing the part of an optimist today.

I've been trying to relax more at work, but somehow the disasters still exist.  Took the day off for skiing and it was well worth it, can't wait for next Thursday to roll around again.

Well, back to the disaster zone, but this time I've got my task list... now for music to work to... perhaps DuranDuran?

Heh.  Heather...you're showing your age...(ducking for cover)...

kns57 - 2008-01-11 1:12 PM Heather, we like optimists.
