I was looking at this exact coat in LL Bean the other day! I already have a black trench so I really couldn't justify a new one. It's so cute, though. I'm jealous.
I love that coat! And it's probably coming in handy today with the rain.
My random is that I am having baby fever BAD. We are looking to start TTC on Jan due to a bunch of factors but I want to start yesterday.
Also since I don't like my job we are considering moving to Portsmouth in August and me finding a job there since it will be closer to DHs job. I am not 100% certain if that's what I want though.
Sears is here and they are telling me that they cannot install any of the appliances. They are just dropping them off. WTF? It says online they were going to install major appliances. The put the fridge in and then told me they are leaving the stove, dishwasher, and hood for me to install. Do I look like I know how to install appliances?

The weather this week is stressing me out. We're doing L's bday party at the park. We initially planned for this Saturday morning. After tracking the weather I changed the date to this Friday evening. I really don't want to have to move it again. I've already had to resend evites with the updated Friday move. God I hope it doesn't rain. We can't fit that many people in our house!
Ok, I need to stop and wait for J to get home. I was watching a YouTube video of how to disconnect a dishwasher and thought I could give it a whirl. Next thing I knew, there were sparks flying towards my face.
AND... now it is pouring rain on the 7 cubic yards of mulch that were delivered this morning! Yay!

I'd call customer service and complain. They should give you some sort of compensation for it. A friend just had an issue with Best Buy around this - they scheduled the install for 10-2, and the delivery between 12-2. Yeah, the installer showed up at 11 am. *headdesk* She got like a $50 gift card or something.
Fingers crossed you have decent weather for the party, ville!
- We have SO MUCH going on this weekend (driving out to Springfield on Friday night for a fundraiser, my family's coming here on Saturday to celebrate mother's day, and then we have to go to NH for mother's day on Sunday), and I'm already exhausted. I thought about shutting my door and taking a nap under my desk, but then I remembered that we have mice here. So a Coke at lunch it is!
- I had a phone interview yesterday, and I don't think I did a particularly good job of selling myself. I am annoyed, because I really want out. I just sent the HR chick a thank you note that tried to do a better job, so we'll see what happens. She was really just screening people, though.
- Crazy Receptionist in on a program this week, and it's been SO QUIET here. I am so delighted to not have to listen to her shaking her iced coffee all. day. long. for a few days, heh.

WTH? Have you called customer service? And, yeah, don't mess around with it yourself!
They're long gone. They told me they had to go to another job and just left. I am on hold with customer service now. UGH.

Thanks, everyone. We'll see what happens. She kind of balked when I mentioned my salary requirements, but with H still out of a job and out of unemployment, there's no way I can take even a small pay cut right now. Well, not without giving up a lot of things that I am too selfish to give up. (*CoughLikeMyStarbucksAdddiction*) We'll see what happens. I'm hopeful that with the semester/fiscal year end, things will start opening up at the university (or at others).
In the meantime, they're shifting some other project work my way here, so I'm hopeful that it'll make things slightly less annoying. At the very least, it's keeping me from picking up any additional programs (allegedly), so I won't have to deal with filling the class or answering the same questions 3000 times per day. I've just got to make it through the next couple of months, which are going to be loooooooooooooooooooong. We're expecting 65-70 people for the June program, and between 75 and 80 for July. I am tired just thinking about it. However, I am busting my budgeted numbers on both programs, so I am in my department head's good graces. For now, heh.

Double posting and bumping this, because I got an email this morning inviting me in for an actual interview. Phew! We'll see what happens.
Also, I am so hungover this morning. UGH! I went out with friends/co-workers last night, and had NO IDEA what time it was. Two of them left, but the other girl and I stayed and talked (and talked and talked) and before I knew it, it was 9:30. Oops. I never stay out that late on a school night. H was in bed when I got home. And now I kind of just want to take a nap here on my desk.

Yay, congrats!! When is the interview?
Sorry about the hangover, but it sounds like you had fun
Monday afternoon. I just sent my boss an email saying I had to leave early, and she came over to my office and said, "just tell me - is this an interview for a job that would mean you'd leave before the program starts? I just need to know if I should be mentally preparing myself." Heh.
Have fun tonight, SCM! That sounds like so much fun.

WHAT!?!? That is crazy, an probably a reason why you want to get out. How did you respond?

No no, not at all! She completely supports me getting out, she was just joking because she's had to shuffle the schedules 200 times lately due to promotions and people quitting. We're literally at capacity this summer - there's usually one or two people who are free and can provide back-up if needed, but every single director has at least 1 program in June, and most of us have another in July as well.
