Some major suckiness
Oct. 21st, 2003 08:14 pmI'm being extremely frustrated. There were three job openings at the library. One was a contract position--I applied but didn't get an interview. One of the others was filled internally, and the one at the branch I was at, I just found out today that there's an internal candidate. Which, by union regs, they will have to place. Arrrrgh.
Minnow has a really good new hiding place. We know this because we spent two hours today convinced that she'd gotten out (because Trout was prowling on the balcony and the door was open) looking under bushes and parked cars for her, etc. etc. Then she wandered sleepily into the living room. Stupid little kitty. Stupid little kitty with a really good hiding place.
Then there's the whole saga of our broken washing machine, but it's more aggravating than actually interesting. The good news is that we have a new one now. And that our kitchen sink isn't dripping. And the garbartor (sp?) is fixed. And we now have a kitchen floor again, although they still need to finish sealing it where it extends into the bathroom and all, and replace the water-damaged drywall.
But that's okay because I have a squishy stress sumo wrestler. (Somewhere around here, I have a squishy stress cow, too...) Thsi guy is a give-away pledge drive type goody from the U of C's campus radio station. Behold! (Some scrolling may be required to get to the thumbnail.)
