Jenerator, best wishes for your mom...she is a nurse, right? Worst patients behind doctors, IMO.

Stick to your guns on the hours you're putting in....alternate hours shouldn't have to mean decreased pay.

Drop the clubs to let them know you're serious....especially in the light of needing to find care for your own child.

That's what my priorities would be on the job & home fronts, at least, if I understand correctly that the clubs are pro-bone. I mean, pro bono. winky

And since we are now switching to the all about me channel, I interviewed for a job yesterday and got rejected.

10000 applications for 400 jobs at a new WalMart in Oakland.

I'm screwed!

Hey, Ulgine, still up?

16311. Ulgine Barrows - 8/26/2005 9:33:37 AM

Magoseph! Yes, and you are too!

Providence smiles.

16312. Ulgine Barrows - 8/26/2005 9:50:23 AM

If that was a stare-down, you won.

16313. Magoseph - 8/26/2005 9:51:24 AM

I've been watching your progress around here between doing crossword puzzles.--I like the early morning hours. Such peace and silence, I can breathe and think.

16314. Magoseph - 8/26/2005 9:53:02 AM

Also, it is when I answer my oversea e-mail correspondents.

16315. Ulgine Barrows - 8/26/2005 10:00:11 AM

What did you learn during your watch?

16316. Magoseph - 8/26/2005 10:04:23 AM

That you were wide-awake and very sharp as usual. Learned that my brother is much better. Figured out the NYT puzzle without googling for a change. There's more...

16317. Ulgine Barrows - 8/26/2005 10:07:31 AM

My father-in-law is an early riser. Somehow he raised his son, my husband, to know that anyone that likes their sleep, is.....

suspect?
evil?
lazy?
tired?


They like me, I can tell. Why they can't sleep beyond noon, the perverts, is beyond me.

16318. Ulgine Barrows - 8/26/2005 10:09:57 AM

Your brother is ill?

16319. Magoseph - 8/26/2005 10:15:03 AM

Suspect, I'd say--because whoever likes to sleep until noon must want to escape something in his life, besides being lazy beyond words.

16320. Magoseph - 8/26/2005 10:20:13 AM

He was taken to the hospital because he thought he was having a heart attack--turns out that he had nothing, except that he panicked and made himself sick. He is having a wonderful life these days--he who worked very hard to assure a happy and prosperous old age is in fear that death will deprive him of this wish. I think he should not worry all that much, considering that we have a bunch or relatives still living well into their nineties.

16321. Ulgine Barrows - 8/26/2005 10:26:50 AM

Harsh mistress,
I think you get stuck here all the time,lacking night vision.

16322. Magoseph - 8/26/2005 10:30:31 AM

I don't suppose you're talking to me, but you might at that. So, tell me, what do you exactly mean by your last post--I have no vision about anything.

16323. Magoseph - 8/26/2005 10:30:59 AM

Are you waxing poetic again?

16324. Ulgine Barrows - 8/26/2005 10:37:45 AM

Nooooooo

I'm not waxing. The schism between those that prefer the sunset and the rise is large.

16325. Magoseph - 8/26/2005 10:47:02 AM

Well, I'd say that those who prefer the sunset and the rise want to escape the tedium of having to cope with boredom with people and tasks in their daily lives. Certainly, I belong to this category.

16326. Ulgine Barrows - 8/26/2005 10:58:56 AM

I bet it makes you laugh
watching me work so hard to reach you
you never gave a damn

lucky I been thru hell
