So.

Here's my unbelievable report. The promotion I was interviewing for is no more. The woman who was retiring has decided to stay. Sound crazy? Well, it's because her husband unexpectedly passed away last weekend. Two days before the final interview for her replacement.

The world is filled with randomness. I feel so sorry for her that I really don't care about the promotion. Her husband was retired, and they loved to travel. I can't imagine having it all set that you can finally spend all the time in the world with the one you love, only to lose him at the last minute.

So, things aren't changing for me for a while yet.

The other crazy thing is that a woman who used to work at another branch (but left months ago due to cancer) died on the same day as that other woman's husband. The same bloody day.

I was applying for her position as well, just in case. Ran-dom-ness.

What is up with this stuff all seeming to happen at once??

I mean yesterday my boyfriend called me up to say that one of his coworkers committed suicide and that he left his note by his desk at work, yet no one noticed till yesterday. (My boyfriend noticed he wasn't there since Monday but he thought oh he must not be feeling well. He knew he had just broken up with his girlfriend and thought maybe he had decided to take a couple of days off. But then the police showed up at his office and they were checking this guys desk where under some papers was a suicide note.) And then my brother who is an insurance adjuster had a man commit suicide by driving his car off a cliff. It is all so incredibly sad. So much death.....

I forgot to check my mail from Saturday until we got home Sunday...I found a letter addressed to me from Arkansas. I know no one in AK plus they spelled my name wrong (I don't care how you pronounce it, as long as it is spelled correctly), but they knew me well enough to have my address. It was a letter telling me that David is having an affair with the widow. I had to laugh. Who ever wrote it does not know me very well at all. The only people that came to mind were 2 of Jimmy's cousins, who blame her for his suicide. My response was to call her and tell her that since she was having an affair with David she needed to fix me dinner. Dinner was mighty tastey!!! I told her that had I known that is what it took to get food, I should write a letter like that every week.


The kicker on the letter was the person who wrote it said I could always email them and ask any questions I may have...the email is cant_prove_its_me@yahoo.com. Too bad for them it had the opposite affect of what they were trying for.

So what does one do when they can't sleep?
Go bouncing around all of the boards that you don't have the time to do during the day.

CP ~ Sorry about the job thang. Poor lady...

T'sK & MG~ :eek:

Promo-Man ~ I had the same prob last night. I had a hard time staying asleep. Kept waking up, walking around the apt, etc.

It's Holy Thursday and for the Catholic guests here at the homeless shelter, our Executive Director is going to be washing everyone's feet. It's weird to come in to work and the first thing you hear is, 'Sheila wants to wash everyone's feet for them today.' Although tempting, I don't think I'll be taking part in the festivities. :D

I could do with a foot massage. Think he'd throw one of those in?:)

So, I had to decline an invitation for a free round of golf today. :mad:

Awww. Why?


--------------------
So I'm walking out of Del Taco and see a line of cars at least 15 deep for the drive-through. No line inside (you can see the inside from the start of the drive-through line).

It was gonna be at lunch today but I had to be here because someone was coming in to work with me so, despite having manager approval to go golf, I couldn't risk not making it back on time (a highly likely proposition when golf is involved).
