and this one time...

I've been busy, give me a break! Speaking of breaks, my oven broke. The stovetop works but not the oven. After 2 days I decided to call the gas co. just to be sure there wasn't a leak since I smelled gas when I opened the oven door. The rep told me DO NOT hang up the phone, leave the call connected when we are done talking and get out of the house. Don't turn anything on or off. Just get outside. So what did I do when we ended the call? I hung up! Good thing there wasn't a gas leak! Of course, we took the dog and the computers outside with us. The rep who came out and tested the gas line figures I have a bad "glow coil". Yeah...whatever. I have no $$$ to get it fixed so he can call it whatever he wants!

Yes, I'm still working "temp" at my old place of employment. The woman who's out on FMLA was originally supposed to come back this week but she extended her leave. I know they want to try and hire me FT but we'll see. I had a job interview today at ISDH for a public health admin position. I had to drive to Indy for the interview and was interview by 3 people at once. I don't know if it's a job I'd like or not. Personally, I like the accounting stuff I'm learning.

Someone called about the house yesterday. I think it was someone from one of those places that claims "we will buy your house!". I directed him to my house web site and didn't hear back from him. I called him again today and gave him the web site address again and haven't heard from him. There's always tomorrow!

Saturday I spent the day at SP's house, selling stuff in her yard sale. It was a nice day. Took the dog along and she had lots of fun running around S's yard and being an ol' country dog for the day. She wandered all over the place and even tried to get in a few of our customer's cars!!! S's neighbor kid came over a few times. He's 14 and built small. He folded himself into the dog crate I'm selling and closed the door. Some people stopped to look at our stuff and the woman said, "Now that's the way it should be! The kid in the crate and the dog running looose!". We all got a good laugh out of that.

Back to my interview today. I parked in the Circle Center Mall parking garage (it's cheap parking and close to ISDH) and thought I parked on level 1. When I went back to my car I couldn't find it so I pressed the "panic button" on my remote to set off the horn. I walked all around the entrance to the mall since I parked close to it, pushing the horn button with no results. I figured I must have parked on level 2 instead and when I opened the doors to level 2 I heard HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK!!!!!!!!!!

Other than that, nothing else is new. Until Thursday. Thursday is when the new Sims 2 game will be available at Best Buy. I KNOW!!!! I'm on a limited income. That's why I took advantage of eBay to sell my collection of The Sims games. The bid is up to $50...enough to pay for the new game. I was annoyed that I couldn't get the game today since it's release date is the 14th. I figured the stores would already have it in stock to put on display today. But no...have to wait. Until then I'll be building an amusement park in my spare time. And no, I am NOT using the $50 from the sale of my Sims games to fix the oven! Geez...I do have priorities ya know! B'sides, it will probably cost at least twice that *sigh*
