Ready To Work

It's finally time.  After almost 7 years I am finally able to go back to work.  I am very excited for the right opportunity to come along.  In fact, I may have found it, fingers crossed.  I have an interview scheduled for Monday, December 1st and I couldn't be more ecstatic.  It is a great job, doing things I have already done.  I know how to do it and I get my foot in the door.  The job description said that there's room to grow which is just what I need.  The commute is a bit tricky.  Two buses and the commuter rail.  I did find a shortcut though, originally I thought I had to go all the way to North Station and back track to Somerville.  Now I've found that I can get off in West Medford and walk two blocks to a bus that will take me two blocks from this company.  The buses don't run often which makes it a bit tricky so if they're open to my working my eight hours from 9 to 5:30 it will work out. Once I get a car, I can work the usual 8:30 to 5:00.  I just hope the interview goes well.  I also hope my professional wardrobe still fits, as I have lost a significant amount of weight.

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

In other news, the Bruins lost to the Habs.  I'm not all that surprised.  Half of the team is made up of Providence Bruins and they're all rookies.  I hope that the players recover quickly, we need them back.  They did win Friday night against the Columbus Blue Jackets with a great comeback.  There's hope for this rookie team.

My piggies are all well.  The snakes just shed and that was pretty cool.  Monty needed help with her shed but Twinkie's shed was almost completely clean.  Rusty is about to shed.  I can't believe how big they are getting.  My husband weighed Twinkie and she's 10 pounds!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Throwing Water On A Grease Fire

Tonight the Boston Bruins played against the Maple Leafs in Toronto.  The game was a nightmare.  The Bruins weren't playing.  They didn't mentally even show up to the game.  The final score 6-1.  If only Chara was playing...

The Bruins were on a five game winning streak.  Not anymore.  Tomorrow they play in Montreal against the dreaded Habs.  I HATE the Habs. The Bruins had better show up and kick some Habs' ass. 

I love the BRuins, even when they lose.  Twitter is full of Naysayers who are constantly like "Trade Rask" or "Trade Chara".  No team can win EVERY game.  All teams have to lose sometimes.  Even Rask has off nights.  Because he is human.  And Chara is in great shape (other than his knee injury) and is a great player.  I would not give up so easily on players just because they have a bad night.

In other news.  I weighed Oreo and she's a hefty 3 pounds.  Bernie has spurs on one of her feet which I will have to get removed by a vet.  The piggies now have double the space to run around in as we have added an extension to their habitat. 

I broke my 4th toe on my left foot three weeks ago.  It was pretty painful even though it was just a toe.
