| That's good you are going on the family vacation. I don't know though - as long as you told the boss when you were interviewing/right away that you had a trip planned already and it couldn't be changed, sometimes bosses will be understanding about that. And of course then the boss wouldn't have to give you a vacation for awhile, so that would be a savings for him.
UGH, MLette went to work this morning and I noticed something is leaking from the new car! So I'll have to tell her when she gets home and she's going to have to call and complaint and take the car back and get them to fix what is leaking (oil? transmission fluid? brake fluid?) I'm no mechanic but something leaked out and onto the driveway that should not. It's truly always something! Oh well, they have to fix it (and for free).
Wow, I don't know if the conservative religious element would ever put up with a woman PM for israel - but then again, Israel had Golda Meier so there's is a precedent. I think a lot of countries are getting women leaders. Even MIT, the engineering school that is so many men, just got a woman president. That was very surprising.
My college just got a new president and she's a scientist. They've only had a dozen presidents since they started but she's the first one who is a scientist. Seems like a very nice and smart woman (would they pick any other kind?). I liked the last president of the college, who was there when MLette was a student - her husband was a doctor and she was a very peppy woman, short haircut, very down to earth and good with people. I was sorry she was going.
Woo, I just heard from Amazon that they mailed my new 'Twilight' book yesterday! I can't wait for it to show up. Hmm, maybe I should take a day off from work and read it!  __________________ Jason B is #1 with me "I'm with the vampires" |
