[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 218704, member: 3907"] Good morning LDM, Marg and all to follow. :coffee: [B]Sharon (LDM)[/B]--Wow! I'm impressed that you've wrapped nearly everything and are so organized. :christmasgift:Hope you enjoy your mom's visit, and that you're able to get everything done while the kids are still in school. I agree. Christmas Eve is not a day for last-minute running around. Although...I have found that the stores are a ghost town so if you're forced to do your shopping then, you won't have to deal with big queues. [B]Marg[/B]--I think using difficult child 1-and-wife's gift registry for Christmas gifts is a lovely idea. Hope you're able to continue getting rest, and that the weather warms up sufficiently for you to make it to the beach.:playingball: I am very excited, and more than a little panicked. :wildone: On Tuesday, I spoke with the recruiter who had submitted me for a job. He said that I was short-listed, but they selected another candidate, and the hiring manager had me in mind for another position coming up in the new year. Well, I got a call yesterday morning. The other candidate has dropped out of the running, and I was next in line, so [B][COLOR="Red"]I GOT THE JOB!! [/COLOR][/B] :yes::surprise::musicdance: There's a brief probationary period, but this is a huge project that's slated to run for the next 3 to 4 years. If I do well during the next few months, I may well be in work until 2011 or 2012. They want me to start Monday! :wildone: Eeek. I made a whole bunch of plans about what to do with my time off, that will now need to be put on hold. But...I just can't worry about that right now. Most of my Christmas preparations are done, just need to write and mail the cards and wrap the presents. Painting the kitchen cupboards and upstairs hallway will just have to wait, as will the yard work I was planning. So, I need to spend the next few days clearing up the things I've been working on and studying the documentation I've been given about the job (3 2-inch binders full of paperwork. I'm in for a fun weekend...) Hope everyone has a wonderful day. Trinity [/QUOTE]
