Updates

Facts... what are those again? Sorry to those of you who read my blog to keep up with the goings on of e. And although I would rather write a self-analysis on why a compliment can outrage me or how "Wir Haben's Getan" by Echt and "Fields of Gold" by Sting (omg, heard this song at lunch today and got sucked back in time so quickly that my head was spinning) will always represent certain periods in my life, but I'll try to stick to a straight laundry list of what's new with my life. But seriously, people. Email; call; IM. You don't always have to wait for me!

So let's see...
Still no offers on the house. The frequency with which I joke about burning it down and collecting the insurance is increasing. Can't really lower the price any without taking a loss. Taking a loss is sounding less and less like a bad idea.

Aaron's no longer washing windows and is currently working for a small DNA-analysis company in downtown Memphis. Read his thoughts on that here. He's thrilled to be away from the boss who cheated his customers and employees and to finally be back in a science setting. Meanwhile, he has an offer for a chemist position - second shift with better pay and benefits. He plans to accept this but first has to go through the drug screening which is proving a challenge since the clinic hours are only when he's working. He has a completely different interview tomorrow, *shrug*, so we'll see how that goes. But any of these three positions are not what he's really wanting. His heart is in embryology, and he's still following up on leads in that field. (Latest lead in CA)

I know my family wants updates on Earl... to which I reply that my blog will not be the means to that information. Either check his blog or call him. But just remember that some families are just naturally more private, k? (Foreign concept, I know, lol) And yes, Sis, I promise that if there is any major news, I will let you know! :)

Speaking of which, SOMEBODY in my family reading this needs to call my butt and tell me what is going on with OUR family drama!!! Oh yes, I'm talking to you and giving you an evil eye to boot. You KNOW I hate being isolated down here and completely out of the loop.

As to my job... (hey, guys *wave* lol) A while back half of my team was let go. The nature of the contractual beast, etc. etc. We're a close-knit group, and this loss was especially hard for us. Especially since then, I've been developing an unhealthy affection/dependency on our Monday evening outings and anytime we can get out of the office for lunch. SO my coworkers rock, and I'm keeping busy. Most everyone is used to me always being plugged into my iPod, nonchalantly wearing Groucho Marx glasses and pink boas while I work, and being an overall weird duck. Mum always told me to stop acting silly... lol, yeah, ya see how that turned out! :P
