Canes win, keep their slim(anorexic?) playoff hope alive.

I’m going the other way and saying this is good news. You wanted to look for another job anyway and now you have 7 weeks severance pay to carry you through. If you find a new job in less than 7 weeks you just got a bonus, and I doubt it will take you 7 weeks to find another job.
Can you collect unemployment while getting severance pay? That buys you even more time.
It’s Freeday!
{{{{{Nettie}}}}}
checks why are we hugging Nettie
May your next job be better.
Ugh. What a mess my life always is.
I think I have to wait until the severance runs out. Problem here is that DH’s employment is none too steady and UI benefits are a pay cut from working.
Up, caffeinated, and sheveled. Off to work. It’s raining.
{{{{Batboy}}}}
Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffeinatin’. YAWN ‘Tis 66 Amurrkin out and cloudy with a predicted high of 81 and mostly cloudy for the day. We got some rain last night but not a lot. Apparently the storm system moved through here pretty quick and I slept through it happenin’. The big plan today is a trip to Sam’s and to :eek:Wally*World:eek:. A request for salmon patties was made, so that will be dindin tonight along with smashed N.O.T., English peas, and bizkits. Ima get some of those frozen bizkits from Sam’s cause they are good.
While this is on my mind, next week I shall make a visit up to Ye Olde Home Towne so my postin’ may be sparse. Internet at my mom’s house is sketchy at best so I don’t much bother whilst there. I can always go make use of the liberry which I will do from time to time. I haven’t been in a while and decided next week will be a good time. Sis and I will go through some old pictures and stuff so that should be entertainin’.
{{{Nettie}}} Here’s hopin’ you find a new gig soonest and that it will be even better.
{{{Batkid}}} whatever’s goin’ on, I hope it’s better soonest.
Now I need more caffeine and to feed rumbly tummy. Then I suppose I should purtify before goin’ about the public. Rah.
Happy Firday Y’all!
Mel didn’t help much last night. I woke on and off from 2 till I gave up around 7. I may try to snooze a bit later.
Meanwhile, **FCD **has just left for work. Since it’s rainy, we won’t be working on the shed. I’m thinking it’ll be a good day to clean the outsides of my kitchen cabinets - some are pretty icky looking, if you catch them in the right light. I may do something about the countertops also. Depends on my energy level.
{{{Nettie}}} - Here’s hoping you find something better in short order.
{{{BatBoy}}} - <insert something comforting and inspirational here> Feel free to come here and whine - we may not have magical answers, but we always have something…
And on that note, breakfast has been ingested, and I’m thinking about crashing in front of Netflix for a while before starting to work. Altho if I showered and dressed, I’d probably feel more productive. I just don’t wanna feel productive at the moment.
Happy Firday!
Just stupid money troubles again. In order to pay for my classes I have to drop half of them, which means I won’t get my qualification and I am no longer working full time, which will affect my payments. They seem determined to make it as difficult as possible for me to get out of my deepening financial hole.
I am showered and dressed in raggedy sweats, appropriate only for staying in the house. The rain is coming down steadily, which is what we need, and I’m thinking about doing some chores. Maybe. Sloth is good.
Those honest people among us are sitting at work, contemplating the fact that sloth is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
:dubious:
Those of us who don’t have to work are enjoying our semi-idleness. I’ve loaded the dishwasher, and it’s doing its thang. I had to wash 2 pans by hand because there wasn’t enough space to cram them in.
My sis has posted from St. Thomas - she and Mom are shopping for jewelry. Again. Obviously she got my share of the girly genes - I just don’t get the appeal of sparklies.
I survived Sam’s and :eek:Wally*World:eek:. Go Me! Anywho stuff is done and I’m at da cave. I could do a few things but probably not. Sloth has its evil hold on me right now.
Long day yesterday. Nothing bad - just never got near the keyboard. Rain, gloom, and me cold/allergies just have me dragging a little.
Beware sloth.
blurf first off hugs for Nettie and Batkid. Mommmmm I don’t care for sparklies either. I have some just never wear it. Same for makeup, I buy it and never use it. I like to natural. I should but I don’t GAF. I ain’t trying to impress anyone.
We go the appraisal back on the house and it is good. It is 31 pages and from what i can tell with the pictures and views from the sky it would not matter much how much updates we have done as the comps in the neighborhood affect the value more than anything. Anyway, we have a ton of equity, more that i thought so if hubs croaks and I have to sell it I will have a nice chunk of money to live on elsewhere as it is too expensive here. Let’s hope he does not croak though. If I croak first he will be better off than me as I have more life insurance than he does due to his heart condition. Can’t buy anymore even though his heart is fixed, for now.
Should have saved more money earlier in our careers but water under the bridge. So any youngsters reading this should save early.
**Butters **- I agree with you about should have saved when younger. We did save some, but we also made some bad financial decisions that hurt us. Luckily, once our daughter was off our dole, we got rid of all debt but the mortgage and we’ve been almost fanatical about saving. And once the mortgage is paid off (14 more years, dammit) we’ll get a big monthly raise, so there’s that.
Part of why I want to keep working is to keep padding our savings so we can do stuff without panicking about its effect on our lifestyle in the future.
I’m with you on makeup, except I don’t even bother buying it. I was never taught how to use it in my teen years and I just never cared. On the rare occasions I’d use mascara, I’d end up smearing it because I’d touch my eyes. It’s just not worth the time and effort to paint my face or fuss with my hair.
Which reminds me - I need a haircut. Do I want one badly enough to venture out in the rain??? hmmmmmmmm
Meanwhile, the cabinets, appliances, and a few other spots in the kitchen are now clean. Huzzah! Time for lunch.
Sloth continues. I also made a big ol’ sammich so gluttony could keep sloth company.
I now have a gym full of infants. 133 of them that were evacuated from the Child Development center at nap time due to a small fire :eek: the fire is under control and the fire dept is on scene. Geez that was a quick way to send gym patrons out the door.
Never a dull moment on Firday at irk.
**FCD **is home and napping. I had a turkey-n-swiss-on-wheat for lunch. Now I’m thinking I’ll do some crocheting with Netflix.
The rain continues.
