Very sorry to hear this. :(Hug your dad today. If you can't hug him, call him. In the whirlwind of Movember, getting healthy, and starting fresh, just got the news that my stepdad has lung cancer and about three months to live. Waiting to get into ICU now to see him.
K4, had lunch at Fritanga today. It's in a questionable neighborhood but the restaurant was very quaint. Our server, (Fred?), was extremely nice and helpful. He recommended the Enchiladas Nicas for my client and the Chanco Con Yuca for me. We both loved our selections and vowed to try a plantain dish on our next visit. The best part is we didn't get jacked.

"Back in May I leased my womb to some young couple that REALLY wanted a kid, but they couldn't have one. There were some... complications... that lead to their getting divorced, and the husband was having financial troubles. So he decided to sublet my womb to a nice young Chinese couple. They're flying in this weekend, and if all goes well, I'll have a Chinese bun in the oven in time for Christmas. Can you believe I made $50,000 and I didn't even have to sleep with anybody this time? Well, it's either that or the triple word score I just hit. They're probably split like 75/25."Text message from SisterYSR: What are people congratulating you for?

Just returned from lunch. Followed my normal routine, pick up Little 'Zooks at school, bring him to my Mom's and have lunch. While at my Mom's house, I decided to use the bathroom and that's when things got interesting.I go to the bathroom and notice that water is dripping from the sink. So I try turn the handle to shut it off and it won't stop, the water starts coming out stronger. So I turn the handle the other way and now the water is coming out at full strength. Now I'm trying to turn it both ways and nothing is working. I keep trying and now the handle is just spinning, like a door knob that is off the hinge or groove (I don't know if that's the right analogy, I'm worse than Otis when it comes to home repair) I keep trying because the water is not stopping, and then the whole handle comes off and the water comes shooting out of the hole where the handle was. It was like a fire hydrant being flushed. It shot right up into my face, right between the eyes. I tried blocking the hole with my hands trying to figure how I'd be able to shut the valve off from underneath with flooding the entire bathroom. So while blocking the hole (with water still spraying everywhere) I start yelling for my Mother to come help. Naturally she's going deaf and can't hear me. I'm now screaming "MA" at the top of my lungs (think Will Ferrell in Wedding Crashers) Finally she comes in and after giving me a detailed explanation of why she can't bend down to shut off the valve under sink due to her bad knees, she attempts to block the hole while I try to find the valve to shut off. Within 2 seconds I hear her yell "oh ####" as now the water is spraying directly into her face as she tries to cover her face with her hands (she apparently has given up on trying to block the hole) Finally I get the valve shut off. It was difficult to find the valve because my parents like to keep roughly 76 bath towels and 5 cases of toilet paper under the bathroom sink. Now that it is shut off, my mother is drenched. My head is soaked and my dress shirt and tie are completely soaked, and since it was a white shirt, my nipples and chest hair showing right thru the soaked shirt. My mother, God bless her, looks at me asks in all sincerity: "why would you do that?"Little 'Zooks has been laughing hysterically throughout this entire ordeal. To the point that he couldn't form sentences. I basically understood that he was saying something about "being on america's funny videos show". Once he finally calmed down, he looked up at me and then burst into laughter again while pointing at my chest. He then said "I can see your chest dots through your shirt". I was aggravated at the whole thing so I snapped back at him and said "They are not chest dots, they are called nipples!" He then laughed more and said "oh ok, then I can see your nickels". I thought that was too funny to correct, so for now he fully believes that nipples are called nickels. Then I drove to my house and changed my clothes and came back to work. The best part is that as I'm driving to my house, my cell phone rings and it's my mom. I answered it saying "Now what?" And she says "oh nothing, I forgot to ask you what was the good news that someone wrote about on your facebook thing? Did you win something?"

God, cancer ####### sucks#### cancer
God I know how this feels. I don't want to get into specifics, but you have my utmost sympathy. It's awful.So I've been trying to apply for some jobs here in Knoxville to earn a little extra money, but more importantly, to get benefits for our family. Currently we are paying ~$600/month out-of-pocket for both of our medical and dental benefits. We have both agreed that I don't need to get any kind of major career track-type position, as we will hopefully start a family in the next year, so I've been searching for customer service/admin type positions.
What I have found is that I fall smack dab in the middle of being overqualified and underqualified for a whole lot of positions out there. Also, this whole online application thing is really throwing me. I've actually gone to offices to give them my resume and hopefully meet the hiring manager just for a second or two, but have been turned away and told to apply online.
I'm at the point now where I applied to Lowe's and Starbucks today, because they both provide benefits to part-time employess. I, of course, had to fill out online applications for both, including a 30+ minute assessment for each company.
I graduated cum laude with a degree in Latin from a pretty darn good university, and I'm sitting at my computer, feeling defeated because I don't know whether I should tell my supervisor that a spill needs cleaning, ask a coworker to help with the spill, tell the customer I was on my way to help to hold on a minute while I clean the spill or ignore the spill.
(that question was actually not one of the harder ones - point is, these assessments are terrible and I feel like I'm already screening myself out of a job that I know I could do better than most who work there).
