Today's been kind of an odd day. For a crew who is soon to be disolved, everyone seemed to be farily cheerful today. It seems that everyone has been on edge for so long, knowing that something was off, but afraid to say anything. Now that it's all out in the open, it's kind of a relief in a strange sort of way. I kept thinking of that scene in "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days" when the magazine staff is having thier meeting to discuss ideas, and one of the ladies chimes up and tells about the horrific disfiguring cosmetic surgery story, and how it is still "strangely....upbeat."
Our supervisor will be attending the "Prom" for the release of the new vampire book "Eclipse," soon, so she borrowed some dresses from a co-worker to wear to it. She took them home to try them on yesterday. One of the girls asked her which one she liked, and she said that only one of them fit well enough, but it made her uncomfortable because it had a slit that went clear up her thigh - one of the ladies piped up and said "just wear a garter - wear a garter that says "bite me!"
We've all read these vampire books (thanks to the prom-goer) and let me tell you - we all got a pretty good chuckle out of that!
4 of the ladies are leaving for Disneyland this week one just returned from there on Monday, - one is going to Washington to see a new grandaughter who was just born today! (as we all listened on her cell phone) and one is headed for the "prom" in Ariz. I think I'm going to be working all alone on Friday!
It felt like the last few days of school - remember those? When everyone is sad to leave thier friends for the summer, and yet excited for the coming vacations they have planned. The only really sad comment someone made was "usually when you leave a job - at least it is still there, and you can go and visit." There will be no place for us to come back to once we are all gone.
My hubby came home and told me that he has arranged a new job for me already!
One of the departments at his work has an opening, and is willing to take me right in. Hmmm....not exactly what I was thinking, but it will work - it's only 20 hrs. a week, but it pays a little more per hour, so I should come out about the same - and I can car-pool with either hubby or my daughter (she works there too) so it will save us money on gas. So, as usual, it sounds like he already has my life planned!
I was praying pretty hard last night, but I didn't expect such an immediate answer!
