The Weekend Cometh

Ah, Friday night...big date night number one as our guy pals in NC used to call it when we visited them in the summers. Fridays used to be SUCH A BIG DEAL when we were younger and it still holds a certain hint of excitement...of promises of rest and relaxation and possibly fun. Even when you're not working it's a bit of a relief to get to the end of the "looking for work week". You can relax for a day or two and then pick up the hunt again on Monday...or if you're feeling particularly energetic on Sunday night.

I FINALLY got an offer for the part time position in town here. It was o.k. and pretty much as expected, but I had a few questions which I emailed my potential manager. Now, ball is in their court again, so am waiting through the weekend. I'll call on Monday if nothing appears over the weekend.

Dolphin girl is taking advantage of being a working stiff and of having a free weekend. She headed out after work for Fredericksburg...home of her alma mater, old buddies and fellow alums. She needs a weekend away from the 'rents and it's nice that we're close enough that she can do just that.

The weather is supposed to be really warm this weekend. Can't wait to get out. It's been coooold lately. Woke up to the heater not being able to keep up with the chilly temps again. I really do need to call our heating guy. I think it's just a measure to keep the blower motor from burning out, but would like to know for sure.

One of our good friends got laid off from his telephone sales job this week. Business was down 40%, so they're reducing costs. Hate to see good people lose needed jobs. His wife is heading to Vegas for a conference tomorrow through Thursday. We'll have him out to dinner at least once...keep him from being too bored stuck way out in the country with just the two dogs for company.

Hope your weekends are good and your jobs are stable!
