Once again, rained out. These southerners are rain wimps. Seriously, I don't even know that it rained Saturday and it was mid 70's on Sunday yet games were cancelled for the weekend. It's getting really old at this point. FOUR weeks - FOUR games scheduled - ZERO games played! I wonder if these people even know what we endured in the Pac NW - frozen fields, rain and wind so fierce the players couldn't see the length of the field, mud so thick it eats cleats. Oooh, that would be a great name for a band - Eats Cleats. It's not as good as Cardboard Calories which Devan used for his band name on Guitar Heroes. My best one came from a movie title which is Dead Lenny.
The clodhopper couple that lived above me moved. I always joked that the huge guy wore weights on his feet because it sounded like he was always stomping. One morning we saw him in his pj's taking out the trash - in his huge military boots! I swear he wore those things every minute he was in his apartment. Well, now we have a quiet older couple above us. The guy works for an appliance company and saw me heading to the laundry room. He has a used washer/dryer set in his truck that he bought from a lady when he delivered her new set. I tell him sure I'll buy them so he unloads the dryer. I swing by the store and get a vent for it, attach the vent tube thingy, get ready to plug it in...and...the plug in prongs don't fit in the outlet. One of the prongs needs to be an "L" shape and the dryer plug doesn't have that. *heavy sigh* I'm so bummed. I was so looking forward to teaching the kids to do laundry!!!!!!!
Today at work was the big day...she took another week off. Now I won't know until next Monday. I guess they sent a registered letter regarding the time off and although there was supposed to be some doctors release for the 7th, they told her she could take another week; so she did. The department is 4 to 1 of her not returning. For purely selfish reasons I hope she doesn't come back. :) I do hope that the reason for her extending her FMLA time is not due to continuing health issues. I think they should hire me anyway, even if she does come back. And I think they should pay me a full time salary but let me work part time AND they should give me gas vouchers AND they should provide me with a healthy lunch and snacks each day AND they should put me on their travel account even if it is for personal use. Yeah, that's all I'm asking, that doesn't seem unreasonable to me... ;-)

Wow...I'm thinking that soccer team needs a road trip to the Pac NW. They are total whimps! Alex played soccer in the freezing cold when he was young! Do they think they'll catch a sniffle?! Oy!
Clodhoppers! You kill me!
And isn't it just your luck that you buy a w/d that you can't use just yet? Maybe he should change out your plug so it works! :P
