I\u2019ve been saying these things to myself for awhile now but last Thursday I had resolved that no matter what (well, almost) I would get a different job. I\u2019ve had only two interviews and have been to three temporary work agencies. Until I find something suitable, I\u2019ll do some\u00a0temping in\u00a0the meantime and see what else breaks through.<\/p>\n<p>On a lighter, furrier note\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Tonight I had a mouse in the house! Just what I need\u2026even spiders give me the willies, so you can imagine I was a bit stirred up, to say the very least.<\/p>\n<p>My sister and I were sitting and chatting at my desk, she was in the middle of typing out an email to a friend an that\u2019s when she flinched. I saw her look to her left very quickly and then she turned her head back forward and made a quick little facial expression like she saw a ghost. I grabbed her arm and demanded to know if she had seen something (because I thought the worst thing would be a bug that she saw\u2026.and I HATE bugs) and she casually denied it (afterward, she admits she only said so because she didn\u2019t want me to think she was flippin\u2019 out) and then I said \u201cIs it a mouse?\u201d to which she said \u201cNo, it\u2019s nothing\u201d.\u00a0 She changed her mind not two seconds later because there he was, just a baby, no bigger than by big toe.\u00a0 He looked up at us and chewing on something.<\/p>\n<p>I let out a couple of \u2018eek\u2019 sounds and we left pretty quickly in search of her hubby (their house is just down the street). We thought for sure HE\u2019D get it for us!\u00a0 Little did we expect him to be sitting on the couch in his skivees, watching a tape of Thursday\u2019s WWF show, practically comatose when we asked him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Reluctant and with the willies, I managed to crawl back home and call the caretaker, who was over a few minutes later and was plenty eager to catch the dirty varmit. And so he did. Now I can rest.<\/p>\n<h3>Same day, different year..<\/h3>\n<p>\nOther posts on this day:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>blogrolling roll is back &#8211; 2005<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now I look back and I see that it\u2019s been two years and too long.
