We're getting the area cleaned and ready and have been told don't report back to work until Monday.
However, I'm on the emergency response team and I'll likely be called in on Friday or this weekend to keep generators and chain saws going, etc.
if my house is still in decent shape. I'll be doing that. Otherwise, I'll be boarding up windows (holes)etc.


just make sure the beast is safe ;).

truly hope you manage to avoid it. plan for the worst but hope for the best.

With the list of meds you're on John you may well qualify for a free jab. Give your doctor a ring and ask.

If not, you can pay to get it done at Boots and other pharmacies. Boots charges £12.99 for it.


i probably should get one as jade works in phlebotomy and no doubt will catch everything going!

Congrats on the seasonal job! My boyfriend use to work there. They pay decent depending on what department youre in ! And he wears black pants here. Not khakis . Lol
Yes, I was surprised at the decent starting wage. I'll be doing the appliance/ car/ tv area. It's funny that you mentioned the pants! I actually went out and bought hideous khakis for the interview just to be like "see! I'll fit in! give me your money!" I spent the money and looked hideous just to discover that they've switched to black pants!!! :D

And I'm feeling a little sore in my left shoulder this morning as I had a flu jab yesterday.

No pain no gain. Paying out to get it done at the pharmacist is better than actually going down with flu.

If you have anything at all to do with schools, the chances of avoiding it without are minimal!
I really need to go get mine. It's spreading and I'm unprepared!

This year we can each vote three times and there are awards for 1st through 12th place?
Much different.
Of course now that I'm in need of a new camera, I want to try it for the first time! My sweet Mavis is pretty average as well. Even has some damage from her prior life, but I'd love to try it any way.

Even if I decided to grab a camera, I think I'll have to go for next year as I'm also heading into ugly "indoor time basement room time" which doesn't produce too many cool looking photographs.

this is the voting advice from last year's contest:

"Post, as a reply to THIS THREAD, your top THREE picks. If you post 4 picks, I will choose which 3 you really wanted. You may NOT vote for the same photo 3 times. "

So the voting is the same, however each 'winner' getting a prize is new.

So, I'm diving back into the world of retail seasonal work this year. Was offered the job at my interview today. The cash will be really good for me. I'll still get my meager teacher pay even when school is out over Christmas, and I'm starting at a decent hourly wage at the mall. I'll soon be sporting a fantastic blue polo shirt at Best buy. I'm going to look soooo HOT! Store sales are going to SOAR through the roof just from people lining up to see me tuck in my polo shirt!!! ---awwww man...I hate tucking in my shirt!!! It'll show my poochy belly!!!

I think I'll need to start watching the tv show "Chuck." :) And time to use the employee discount to replace my broken down Wii.
Congratulations! It all helps doesn't it?
I used to work 4 nights a week in a nightclub to subsidise my pay in the 90's - can't think how I managed it but I enjoyed it and it paid several bills.
