Sleepy sunday, LL folk!

The boy has clocked all 5 p's today, though being "Pleased with the bean" is not on that list.

I awoke 2 hrs late for his test & breffis, and then was out again until, well...now :roll:
My insomnia/weird sleep cycles have reached the point where no matter how early I head to bed
or what pill I take, I fall asleep between 4-5am. Not a truly serious problem until now...
as last week I began the "return to the ranks of the employed" dance,
and tomorrow kicks off the endless round of interviews, etc.
Oddly, most HR folk are not fond of scheduling a meeting between 10pm and 4am :? .

The sleep issue is something I've dealt with for many years...and the best solution I've found is working long hours,
or spending longer hours testing a sugarkitty :lol:
I have 4 interviews set for tomorrow...two of which are positions I'd love to have.
Given my background, you may find it odd that I'm opting to go back to being a retail regional mgr...
but the money is good...and I can still devote time to family and furbabies.
The counseling field is still too close to home for me to be objective & effective. :sad:

So...we'll see what pans out...but I am wishing I looked just a little less haggard :lol:

Back to kitty tales...
Lil Annie must have been feeling a bit dissed by my reaction to her spider find...
so she left a dead squirrel on the front patio...EEWWWWW :-|

Holding Jill and her husband closely in heart and thought...
and sending healing vines to all family members (furry and not so furry) who may be in need of them.

and a nod to the work place...

Chew that Gum , Binksy!

One good thing about getting old is no more job interviews. My fave is the time I was told i was "too educated" to work in a library! ohmygod_smile
 
Re: 11/13 Binks DAY 10 ambg 94

Congrats on day 10!!! The countdown is exciting!

Good luck on the interviews! Knock their socks off! Have you considered working the midnight shift? It's always good when you can turn a problem to advantage ;-)

:lol: :lol: :lol: Ann...only in the Digital/Vidoe Game age :roll:
hence my jubilation over the harry potter book series...
how uplifting to see kids walk in asking for a book rather than a video game.

Thanks for the well-wishes, guys :-D i've conducted endless numbers of interviews over the years,
and written the personality inventory surveys, so the pre-hire process is a generally a breeze...
It's actually going back to work that I'm not looking forward to :lol:

and RM's almost invariably work days, so you'll likely be getting some midnight condo creeping soon from the boy & me :cool:
 
Re: 11/13 Binks DAY 10 ambg 94

HAPPY DAY 10!!!!

OMG..going back to work? Say it isn't so!!! Kidding...I wish you the BEST on your interviews. IF they knew you like we know you, you wouldn't even need the interview....they'd just hire you!

For Annie..and also Binks:

Binks, congratulations on Day 10!!

Celi, good luck with all your interviews tomorrow. Four interviews sounds like alot! At least Binks is giving you some good numbers so you don't have to worry too much about him.
 
Re: 11/13 Binks DAY 10 ambg 94

WOW! Day 10 already and Binks is looking absolutely fabulous! Good luck on your job interviews. Can you put being super caregiver to a diabetic cat down on the application as one of your many skills? Should come in handy in managerial work! ;-)

If the job thing doesn't work out, how about writing a book - a serious novel of course! Something like "Chronicles from the Land of Big Batatas"? :lol: :lol:
 
Re: 11/13 Binks DAY 10 ambg 94

Feeling wrapped safely in your healing vines Binks.

Keep throwing those good #s for me.

Congratulations on Day 10 for Binkster.

Celi, good luck on the interviews tomorrow. We have fingers and paws crossed for you. I feel for you with the insomnia problem. I can manage some sleep, but it's always erratic sleep and never eight hours good quality sleep.

Wanted to wish you best of luck tomorrow, Celi, on your job interviews. Break a leg!!! (oops, shouldn't have said that!!

Retail management.... going into the HOLIDAYS?!?!? Me thinks Celi has lost her marbles!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Quick, Binks!! Talk some sense into her!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

In all seriousness, will be sending you tons of good luck vibes tomorrow, though I'm sure you'll do fantastic without them! I did retail management before going back to grad school. Turns out, I'm not nearly the people person I'd like to think I am! I finally figured out that I just had to get all of my superiors into to a position in which they SERIOUSLY owed me, allowing me to get away with just about anything I wanted!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Binks is looking awesome!!!
 
Good luck with the interviews. Wow, 4 in one day? How do you manage that? Binks is looking good. Keep it up, handsome guy.

Wishing you loads of luck in the interviews tomorrow, Celi. I hope you nail the one you want most. :-D

I know this sounds awful in this economy...I should feel blessed to have even one opportunity...

But honesty compels me to say...I don't want ANY of them! :oops:

I've become very fond of not having to answer to anyone but Binks regarding my schedule :lol: :lol:

thanks for the support though...
gots to have a way to pay for Binksy's wardrobe :-D
 
Happy Day 10, Binks!!

And good luck with the interviews tomorrow! Back in '91, I started a corporate retail management job 3 weeks before Thanksgiving, in a brand new store that we had to "open". It was one hell of an experience, that's for sure. For the first time in my life, I literally nearly passed out from exhaustion on Christmas Eve! I worked there for 6 months, then swore I would never work retail again.

Now, I've owned my own store for the last 5 years ohmygod_smile . Go figure...but I wouldn't trade it for the world. And, if my store went under tomorrow, I would continue working retail. I've done tradtitional corporate work, and I tell you, there is NOTHING as entertaining as working with the public in retail.

Have a great night, guys!!
 
wishing you luck tomorrow!

ps, have you tried 5HTP for sleeping? sends me off like a baby and i sleep like i was a college student . . . remember those days? when you could actually sleep all night? i'll send you a link on it.
 
thanks julie! got the link...

willing to try anything that i haven't before...and that one i haven't :-D

and thank you all for a truly nice condo today...

off to bed...with a book :lol:

sweet dreams and healthful rest to all...
 
Celi,
Good luck tomorrow!!
As Kermit the Frog said "it ain't easy bein' green" :mrgreen: but it looks like Binks has it down pat! Congrats on double digit days!!
