We’ve got Big Brother on here … grr, definitely not my idea of a show to watch. Gotta head back to my bedroom to watch what I want - if there was anything worthy of watching, that is. **FCM** , glad to hear that you had a great time with your daughter and that she made it back to FL safely. 🙂 700 days til retirement-eligible, eh? LOL Ain’t it great! I’m already eligible, but can’t afford to! We did miss ya, **Soapy** , really. 🙂 Sorry your weekend was so stressful, though. And do return some time tonight, **Haze**. My son hasn’t called us yet today, which I suspect means that his phone hasn’t been turned back on, even though I did make a $50 payment. I would, of course, rather that the money go to him and he use it for whatever–he was the one who decided that he’d rather have me make payments on his phone bill. He’s going to have to get himself out of this one. Oh my, I -really- cannot stand this Big Brother show! I must retire to my bedroom, at least for a while. ---

Off to the airport in about 45 mins to pick up a design engineer for this new contract that we have starting in a week. It just so happens she is a good friend so we are going out for dinner and a beer tonight as well. I have 8 count 'em 8 Service Quality auditors arriving in the morning for a week long audit, a new contract starting in 6 days and equipment we can’t get across state lines or if we can the air permits are dragging so we can’t even use it, a Dept manager flaking out on me, 30 people I have to train, 5 more to screen and hire as well as my regular job this week. Oh what a fun week I have to look forward to. ---
