Hands on will teach you A LOT more about being an ME. You should be very happy with it

I always thought that it woudl be great to get paid for not doing much but over all it drives me up the walls here. Doesn't help that the three ladies that work in my building are ****ing nut jobs.

Hopefully it works out the recruiter for the job said that he woudl hand deliver my resume to the person who makes the final decision and discuss my interview with him in a very good light. Sounded like the perfect thing for me but I have had those come and go before and turn into either nothing or somethign I didn't want to do.

oh for sure. People are like,"that's great, you get paid and yo udon't have to do anything" WHAT!?!? How many people do YOU know would like to sit in one chair, alone, for 9 hours alll day, with barely nothing to do?!?!? every day...omg....

[Murdock]

Yeah...I start going crazy here after awhile. I am not a person that can sit and do nothing. I do more work for friends and researching parts for my car and truck...then actual work-work.

Plus after all the layoffs and retiring at Ford, I am now the only person left in my 4-cube area

[LadyX]

fun. I sit bymself, in a hut, outside the building. I don't get to leave.

[Murdock]

That sounds amazing...now I do not feel as bad about my area

Woo! Just got some great news from my mom... :D

She's up and walking around now, and been outside a few times over the past few days... Tomorrow or Friday they are going to release her to Chelsea's inpatient physical therapy center, where she'll be another 1 to 3 weeks, depending on her recovery speed. She's happy, so of course that makes me happy as well...

But the good comes with the bad with me it seems. My daughters mom screwed me by claiming my daughter on her taxes (agreement states I claim her because I pay 80% of the household income) -- so I got screwed out of $4500 on my return... Needless to say I might not have a Cougar this year...at all. Might be time to start parting it out to get me outta this hole.

Glad to hear your moms getting better. Ouch on the other side fo things.

[LadyX]

Awesome for you mom!! That's great to hear!

on the other note..if you have an agreement in writing....can't you sue her? or claim your daughter anyway, and then when you BOTH get audited, you'll have your written agreement......
