Work is winding down, only another day and a half left, but I did get another offer yesterday, I’ll be going back for 6 weeks on one of the yearly projects , so I’ll be home for a month and then go back on April 2nd and the work is until May 11th , this is great it puts me in another pool so that if other projects come up I have a chance of getting a call at least. the only down side to it is,, We have our reservations booked for May 11th weekend !! I’m waiting on word from my supervisor as to wether or not it will be  a problem to finish on the 8th instead of the 11th, I’m told by others that this project is pretty laid back and they didn’t think it would be a problem to have the time off, that they may even consider taking me in the Wednesday before the start date so that I still get the full six weeks of work. there are 3 weeks of evening shift from April 16th to May 4th but the rest is day shifts so half and half of day and evening shifts. Thats’  ok by me

the pay is way less than what I’ve been getting I’ll be going from a top level CR04 down to a start level CR02 level for this  project. but again its the fact that it puts me in an additional “pool” for other work projects that may come up.

So its all good , just have to see what they decide on me having to finish on the 8th verse the 11th.  Hopefully the other folks I talked to are right and it won’t be a problem,, our trip is already paid and the tickets to the Nascar Race have already been bought so we don’t want to miss out on that, too much invested in it now!!

Tomorrow evening Tango will arrive home. 

He’s getting all prettied up tonight, they are bathing him and grooming him before we pick him up.

Today was a pretty slack day, with work winding down and folks moving to new work stations (the ones who are staying in the building to go to other area’s ).

Tomorrow I’ll meet with my Team leader for the P.O.F. program(payment on file) I’ll be going into in April and then get all my forms and papers for this program put into a secure lock box to be put away until I come back next November.

After that I’ll gather up all the information on the files I’m unable to complete for various reasons (waiting for Reps to mail in information ect) and get those all transfered over to whomever will be taking over my workload.

This year isn’t too bad I only have 6 files to pass on.

nothing much else to report on at this time,,been  pretty quiet, Elva got the lighter case on and all the staples removed today. so  its much easier for her to manuver around now. the 1st cast was really heavy.

there were really good buys on at Northern Reflections again Monday.. I got a couple more of the soft shirts, and a mock neck , regular price would have been $140  I paid $27.00 !! gotta love sales !!

Karla is working on a family tree for her school project, her instructor told them it wouldn’t be tooo bad they only had to go back as far as the grandparents.. Karla was like, yeah easy for you to say !! they were told to do it on a bristle board.. LOL Karla told him ok but mine will likley be enough bristle board to go around the whole classroom.. LOL

he didn’t think it was that bad,, that is until she brought him down all the names of the family members and their spouses and children ect.. haha she was like ok lets see.. 36 aunts and uncles,, 135 1st and 2nd cousins and that is just my side of the family.. haha now on top of all the family members they want birthdates, death dates, if there are any health issue’s or other issue’s like any kinds of abuse ect.  this poor kid has her work cut out for her !!

Hope everyone is having a great week !!
