Uniform fitting at Waitrose today.
YAY! Am an employed person again! Dad didn't know I'd gone out, although I did call out as I left. He thought I was upstairs, asleep. This seems to be a recent trend for my parents. Can't hear me? Asleep. Can't see me? Asleep. Can't smell me? Yeah, you know... Anyway, got home and was greeted by Mum and showed her my new uniform and contract, so she knew I'd been out earning money, so that's fine (she was doing her volunteer job.) Shirt is well baggy Checked it was suitable for the shop floor dress code. It is. Lovely uniform-fitter was able to tell the size of the shirt just by stretching it out. An Asian Ianto. Am pleased it's large rather than tight, so I didn't ask for a replacement. As Uniform Chap said, it's mostly covered by my apron anyway. And he complimented the length of my arms. Apparently many staff have problems with the length of the sleeves. I have lovely long arms. Yes I do. They are both lovely and long. Thank you.

Nah, I'm on the Deli counter.
But I can reach the unreachable cheese.

Can you fight the unbeatable foe and bear the unbearable sorrow?

I can bare, but you have to log on with a Premium Rate username.
UT takes the profits, but I get to flash my norks.

Lutefisk eating contest at 1300 GMT-8. 97 minutes hence. Last year, I came in second by a nose to the fellow who'd won the previous eight competitions. I'm gonna kick his ass this year.

I realized Friday that I'm happy in my classroom. All the adults coming in are fully on board with my PBS (positive behavioral support) methodology. Everyone is engaging with the kids at their level working that mirror neuron mojo.

I figure after all my whining this winter I'd better say something when things are going well.

I did not finish in the money.
Fourth place, I choked. I mean I was choking on the chunks of lutefisk that went up my nose as I was trying inhale and eat at the same time. NEXT YEAR!!!!

Be careful ... choking on lutefisk is probably not the way you want to go. Sorry I missed the chance to cheer you on ... GO BIG V NEXT YEAR!!!
I got a lot done today. Visiting my oldest in DC, helped with cleaning and packing his apartment, reading 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius' (I know, it's not new but I stumble upon most fiction late), hanging out with the two chocolate point cats that came from my cattery. Gonna pick my son up from work tonight and have a glass of wine and some goodies I picked up at Whole Foods. Whole Foods ... I think it'd be worth moving here just to have access to this grocery store. Wow.

That's great, man, glad things are finally going your way. Will this carry through the fall/winter, or this a summer arrangement?
