sunflowery's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Employment Opportunities Happy Birthday Mom! I won't tell anyone it's your 60th today...oops! I mean your 29th. Hee. Bob is doing well reading his poetry on the radio in the mornings. It has given him a renewed passion for his poetry. Yesterday they asked him to create a poem specifically to kind of tease "brother Rob" and he did. He'll be reading it this morning. When he read it back to the producer, she was so excited because it was exactally what he was looking for. It is very exciting. Along those lines, I began to research how he could freelance write for greeting card companies. The bad news is that there isn't a lot of that out there. Most of the big card companies don't accept freelance work. But the good news is there are a few companies out there that do. So we just need to find those companies, find their writing guidelines and send in some samples and see what happens. Remember when I said I was going to start looking for employment opportunities back near where my parents live? I began to send my resume and cover letter to a few of the BIG employers in the area, not really expecting to hear anything back so soon...at least at this point. But I got an email back from one company, requesting a phone interview for next week. Wow! I am not really getting all excited...yet. This is a company that takes its time interviewing their potential employees. Time, we have. Our lease isn't up until June 1...so we aren't in a big hurry to move at this point. But I was doing some research on the company so I would not appear to be a total dork and I came across their benefits page. If I wasn't sure about working for these guys before...reading about their benefits sure makes it tempting. Read on and see what I mean: Health Insurance Life/Disability Insurance Vacation/Holiday Pay 401(k) Plan Compensation Stock Appreciation Rights Professional Development Employees who become certified in more than one of our software applications receive bonuses.

So my tooth is still hurting. Today I need to pick up the antibiotic from the pharmacy to take over the weekend. It looks as if I will be having my first root canal next week. Gah! It is actually fine and doesn't hurt until I eat...then about a half hour later it throbs unmercilessly.
Happy Birthday Mom! Hope It�s a good one. Your card is on the way. I cannot stop yawning today. My 2 days of PTO time were wonderful, but getting back into the swing of things at work has been so difficult today. Thankfully it wasn�t so busy. I talked to the gal at the rehabilitation place where Sweet Baboo will be getting his wheelchair assessment from...she said she can call MDA to see if they have any used equipment in stock that will work. Also, we can get financing from the medical supply place, so we should be fine. SB started his classes today. He said they were wonderful. He came home all excited and so glad he has this opportunity. The kitties got their smack on this morning. Maisey has been bolting at Daisy and chasing her into corners and under things. Poor Daisy runs and hisses, but doesn�t do much to hurt Maisey. I think Maisey needs a little world of hurt to shut her up. This morning I found Daisy huddled and shrunk into the space under the kitchen cabinets while Maisey was all puffy and queen of the apartment in front of her. Naughty girl. It�s been 2 weeks. I am hoping they will at least get to the place where they can consider one another with disdain and ignore the actions of the other. That would be nice. Oh...we need a new computer. Or to have ours fixed. A new computer might be better because ours is over 3 years old and is as slow as molasses. Everything works except for Word. I uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times and it still won't work. I try to open a document and it either freezes up on me or says I preformed a fatal error. I am looking at computers and financing over the internet. Hopefully something will jump out at me That�s affordable. Not much going on today. Just me not being able to stop yawning. Thanks for reading.
