I believe I will really enjoy the new position and I met several other employees and they all seem like great people that I will enjoy working with. It is about a 20 minute mid afternoon drive - probably no more than 30 minutes during rush hour. Best part is nice salary increase along with a signing bonus. Excellent news Debbie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets out the fogger and sprays chemical warfare on our nuisance mosquitoes. Then he will light the citronella candles. Once he is done I appear and we sit and talk for hours. Well. Knowing I am super sensitive to bug bites I also apply Avons bug detergent. Well, overkill did not work. Cortisone cream dose. Damn they were itchy and painful. This week. Long pants. Spray. Laying blanket down. Citronella bonfire. Hazmat suite. How nice to share that quality time. Have you tried Lavender bug spray? I use the Pelindaba brand and it seems to work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably start first week of August. Tomorrow I will go my office and let my boss know I will be leaving and figure out the time lime. I am thinking he will want me to stay on to finish out home closings for month end. I am excited to try something new as I really am getting bored with being a Mortgage Underwriter. The new job I will be overseeing the sales contract administrator and accounting dept. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was saying tye humidity was 73% upstairs so I went to HD and bought a dehumidifier. It has been running for 20 minutes and it is now saying the humidity is 63%. 😊 I set it on max rather than setting it on a particular humidity % so I can see how far down it will go. We have that too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost wish I was still in the work force , well not really 😁😁. Thank you. I wasn't even looking for a new job It's like he knew I was bored with current job. I was pleasantly surprised when he mentioned salary range on the phone on Saturday and very happy when we discussed in detail today. 😃 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually set mine at 50% Sometimes I let it go down and I think the lowest I had it was around 40 but it wasn't middle of summer with high humidity outdoors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow a Canadian photographer/videographer on YouTube named Peter McKinnon. He did a great 23-minute short video on getting his "bucket shot"...a picture of Moraine Lake with snow in the mountains but the lake itself not yet frozen. There's only a couple of week window in the fall when that can be done. It's a nice video because it talks about the journey to get a great photo, not just the photo itself. It's also a good reminder that we should act when given an opportunity. I'm trying to do more of that...say yes when someone asks me to do something with them rather than find a reason to say no. Experiences rather than possessions. Here's the Morain Lake Bucket Shot. One of Peter's Moraine Lake pictures also got put on a $30 Canadian silver coin. Quite an honor. That photo is amazing and it is a spectacular spot. I have climbed that large rock outcrop, to sit and take in that view. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck at your surgeon appointment and sending you our prayers for your recovery and for you to be pain free. Graham. Wonderful news at my surgeon appointment. Ankle is totally healed and I can now put full pressure on both feet but I have to be mindful of my comfort zone. She said, looking at the x-rays, that she can't even tell where the ankle was broken. I don't need OT anymore but do need out-patient PT for another few weeks. I've been off my operated ankle for 7 weeks now so it will take time to get used to walking with both legs again. She said my pain is to be expected. On a not so happy note, I have to add my daughter and son in law on the latest covid list. She had a cold a few days ago and tested negative but lo and behold,, today they both tested positive. I can only hope the kids 9 and 14 yrs old won't get it. They're due to come here Aug. 20. Is one month enough to test negative? 1 hour ago, Sunshine3601 said: Great news! I had my meeting for job offer and accepted the new job.

Taking your hand off the steering wheel even to wave a thanks if someone gives way to you can be classed as careless driving although I rarely see a police car on our roads nowadays to enforce this. It's no wonder you folks lost the war. You all have too many rules... and you follow them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not isolating. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
