It’s all you

Morning all,

I had the feeling yesterday that my colleague was absent.  As we inched closer to our first meeting I got a call from the boss and he thought the same thing.  He called the guy and yeah turns out his kid was sick.  His work email had reached capacity so his email that he sent to us didn’t send.  The good news is that meeting got cancelled. The bad news was all of the work that came in waiting for him was now all mine.  So I had somethings to do. 

The boss told me that he asked HR to move forward and make an offer to an internal candidate on our open position.  It’s not the guy that reached out to me.  He told me that his decision was made on tenure with the company as well as education.  The only thing against the guy that reached out to me was that he had been added within the last year or two.  I think I know who was chosen but the boss is hoping to make the announcement in our meeting today.  This is all supposed to be private and confidential but I know you won’t tell anyone so it’s okay, right?  While I am happy that the search is over I am a little disappointed that the candidates didn’t have to undergo the multiple interviews I and my colleague did, one of which was a panel interview.  This was a one and done.  I hope that he picked a decent person and they are easy enough to work with.  It would help if I wasn’t attracted to them but knowing who I think it might be I can already tell you that I’ve got a crush on him.  Of course I could be surprised, I mean I don’t know for certain who it is yet.  Stay tuned more to come. 

Still haven’t heard from any of the contractors that I had out with a bid for the column or roof brace.  I think I will be chasing them for a price and that doesn’t sound like fun.  I’m giving it a little bit more time just to see if something trickles in but if nothing in the next day or so I will begin my follow-up to see if I can get a price.  It’s not like the post is going to fall anytime soon but it’s rotting and I know that eventually that will happen, just trying to stay a step ahead. 

Finished up Young Sheldon last night.  I did shed a tear or two over George’s death but wasn’t sobbing like I did when the episode first aired.  It was a great show and fun to see the kids grow up before my eyes.  Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage is a great spin off from this series.  It all started with The Big Bang Theory and here we are 3 shows later.  Pretty amazing!

Watched what I recorded from the ET Special about The Neighborhood.  Sounds like that show is going out on an up note and while production has wrapped the final show won’t air until next month.  Hard to believe it’s ending but you can only write about so many scenarios and eventually it’s time to bring it all to a close.

Finished up the Spaghetti and Chocolate Cake last night.  Had junk food for lunch to tide me over.  Rudy looked at me funny when I got up at 3p to go grab a yogurt.  Like he wanted food but I resisted because I know it’s one of his tricks feed me now I’m hungry.  Then 2 hours later he’d be asking where’s supper.  I’ve also learned not to wake them if they sleep through treat time it’s not like they actually miss it.  Tried to play with both cats last night before bed but they just weren’t having it.  Rudy begged for it.  He wound up grabbing a toy and running through the house crying.  Eventually bringing it to bed with him as a present for me.  So thoughtful. 

Well here we are in the middle of the week again.  This week will be done before I know it.  At least I’ve got a full weekend and don’t have to worry about cramming everything into one day like I did last weekend.  I can take my time and relax.  Move at my own pace and do what I want.  It’s my last free weekend before I go on-call next week so I will certainly cherish it and probably enjoy some extra sleep or at the very least a nap or two.  Those are quite enjoyable.  Got to start plotting and planning for where I want to eat, that’s always a chore. 

Were coming out of the freezer and heating up today into the 70’s and it’s only getting warmer as the days go on.  Might have to flip the AC back on.  Hopefully this back and forth doesn’t keep going on and on.  I’d like to make the switch and walk away.  Perhaps have a period where no AC or heat is needed at all and the house just stays comfortable, those periods aren’t long but I do enjoy them. 

Have a great Wednesday.  Talk with you all again soon.
