Brain Crowd

I have several projects on my plate all of the sudden. I didn't expect to go from a relatively lazy end of summer to *BAM* -- too much stuff to even list over night. For the record -- I want a new Dig Cam for my birthday. I'm looking at a Nikon 9 mp. That will bring me many smiles and a lot better pics. This is important stuff. I need to be able to take quality images of the projects I’m making. First because I want to share them on Ravelry, second because I want to list most of them for sale on Etsy. I said I wouldn't be selling at the local craft fair, that was a fib.


I think.

I’m going to step up to HR this week and volunteer to chair the Craft Faire again this year. Last year’s was lacking. I didn’t participate and the gal that I thought would do a good job had a hard time providing direction and leadership.

I have fingerless gloves times many made and am making many times many more. That’s my project for craft fair this month. I’ll make lap throws next month. Both of these are geared toward women who work in offices of indeterminate temperatures. I hope they do well.

JP is finally going into see a dental anesthesiologist so we can get his issues addressed without hitting all of his anxiety buttons and possibly endangering himself and the dentist. I could go off on a rant about another dental office that jerked us around for 6 weeks before they finally came right out and said they wouldn’t help us on our terms, only theirs. In the long run, since it was more a difference of opinion than anything else, I won’t share that rant and cast a negative light on what is a good dr. His staff however . . . argh.

My guy has also started transition co-op! This is a big deal. That’s a blog of its own, but suffice it to say for now, this is the place to help my kiddo continue to grow into an independent young man.

Yay!

There are a couple of road trips coming up this month. I might even finish telling the story of the last one before the next one.

Maybe.

The teenage daughter and I are going the rounds. She’s . . . erm. Mouthy. We’ll see how many weekends she’s grounded and how many games and dances she’ll miss out on before it seeps into that hormone laden brain that Mom isn’t going to tolerate it.

I interviewed for the trainer position. We’ll see. It’s not precisely what I wanted. The exact position I do want just posted. What a rollercoaster. Each interview gives the opportunity to polish my pitch. I’m using them for the feedback and experience more than I’m looking to land the positions. I just don’t have the experience in the department (Claims Adjudication) that they are looking for. My department is finally hiring for the one I have the experience and drive to achieve. We’ll see. It could be a case of another one having been pre-hired. There is a gal that they have had off the phones for 4 months working with the new hires in what they call transition training. That’s usually a good indication that the position was created for one specific person to step into. But company policy is still to open the position up for everyone to try for if they care too even though they have already picked who they want.

Dammit.
That just occurred to me. Dammit dammit. I’m going to give it my all, all the same.

I’m going to stop there and go brush my teeth.
Have a fast and easy Monday, dearie.
