Well, the temp agency I signed up at on Monday really seem to like me. They have an admin and a techie wing and both sides have kept a steady dialogue with me this week. And I did so well on the Excel 2000 test that I got to take the Microsoft Office Specialst Certification exam. So, I'm now MS Certified (as opposed to
Certifiable). So, hopefully, things are looking up on the job front. Now, if I could just track down some of those past supervisors of mine...
Unfortunately, Simon's little adventure to the vet's office yesterday set us back $63! Thirty-eight for the exam, then the vet wanted to do a test to make sure he didn't have parasites (he doesn't). She also wanted to do a blood screen (to see if there was any indication there as to why he suddenly wants to eat the Swheat Scoop), but I put the brakes on that. Those blood panels leap into the triple-digits really fast and I don't have that kind of money. The vet said I seemed to be doing everything right, in terms of trying to redirect is behaviour when he tries to eat the kitty litter (I know, I know...EWWWWW!). And she was
very pleased that I got his weight down. He was nearly 16 lbs. last year...and we got the lecture and had to cut back on the kibbles. Yesterday he weighed in at a very svelte 11 pounds, 7 ounces.
So, school starts up again tomorrow, and...ROFLMAO! Right after I type how wonderful Simon's "diet" is working, he comes over and presents me with his kibble scoop! Sorry, pal...the kitchen is closed!
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah...tomorrow I start with the speech class, and I may pop my head in to the watercolour class to say "hi", even though the Hernandezes usually have us returning students show up a couple of weeks into the term. What I
really need to take is their drawing classes. I know that I could avoid so many of the technical mistakes I make in my paintings if I could just get a handle on drawing.
I think the battery on my cell phone is packing it in. It doesn't seem to want to hold a charge for more than 8 hours. It's only six months old, too. Feh! A new battery costs nearly as much as a new cell phone, too. Grrrrrr!
Oy, I think someone needs a nap!
