The latest crisis...

And other in-law tales.... yesterday they called, looking for Bubba who of course cannot be reached due to move to an interior office and he didn't bother to give that new number to anyone but me. Sigh. So Bubba Sr. called, news of today? Fire at the condo!!! OMG!

Of course first thing I asked was is everyone was all right, do they need anything, do they need us to come home this weekend to help/ clean/ pack/whatever. No, everyone is fine they are staying with Bubba's Sister that night then they are headed to a hotel - just smoke and water damage to their place, other two units - burnt to the ground! Yeesh! But the really fun part of all this - the fire and mess took place at 10 AM - they called Bubba at 6:00 PM. Let that sink in. You have a fire - and you wait 7 hours to call your son. Heaven forbid someone had been hurt! When would you have called - the next day? Now I called Bubba told him to call his parents, which he did.

I asked after he got home, any additional news re: the in-laws. He restated the conversation I had had with them, and he shook his head. So I pressed (needing blog fodder and being nosey) and he said talking to them was an act of frustration, and he actually stated that "why did they wait so long to call?" Ask them pumpkin. Oh the strife I foresee as these people get older and we find out something happened days and weeks after the fact... oh yeah baby.

Of course this was after the really good interview I had had with another small company. And I do mean small.... but it was exciting it was cool and it's a NEW area - and I'd have to actually work for a living. Go figure. ;-) UPDATE - I've got an offer letter... looks like i am leaving Large Nameless Corporation... no date yet - need customer approval, but it's more than I've got from anyone else - including Large Nameless Corporation. Holy cow!!!

So I have to get my friend who sent this guy my resume something nice - flowers I think as she's on a diet. Networking baby - use it and store it! Whoo hooo...

All right--- chicken casserole for dinner Bubba is going to be late and something nice for Aunt Ing, like some new spring work clothes! Did I mention I walk in the door with 4 weeks vacation. Extra bonus boys and girls!!!! All right now - I have to go and think about how my life is going to work without outside access 8 plus hours a day. I will figure it out. I can't begin to think how many places have my work email... oh THAT is going to be fun. So here is to waiting for the nebulous customer approval, and the muted celebration that I will enjoy alone tonight - then the bigger one when we get the final OK!!!

Later...
