He's a cute little guy, Foul. But he's going to outgrow that dish in a hurry.
Interesting queue for Murrin. I've read Use of Weapons , The Master and Margarita , Dune and The Time Machine , out of the group.
Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.

Got the results of my psychometrics tests - I passed.
Now onto an "assessment day" in July. Consisting of , Written exercise, group exercise, role play and interview.
Seems like a long time away, but I'm sure it'll come round quickly.
All I can do is my best on the day and hope I get the job.

how does a prison rid itself of an inmate?
$128.00 for helldog to see a vet for 5 minutes so they can tel me she has skin allergies! Well AH DUH! She has no hair on her freakin' tail. All I wanted was some damn prednisone, the same freakin' thing she needs every spring.
everyone's a scam artist.

I'm sure that's $128 *before* the prescription, too. Jeez, what a racket.

I have tomorrow off but it's going to be a day of chores not of fun stuff. Then my next day off is Tuesday and then Friday again. I hate having split days and no weekends off. It sucks.

First week back to work at Emmaus. After a 3 month sabbatical
(that's my story, and i'm sticking to it!)
Did some KP, and warehouse, work this week. Both involved pumping plenty iron. Feel so much better for it!
Can't wait till I get a spell in the furniture workshop. The guy that's doing furniture repair has also tried out making other things too. Like a dresser-cum-hi fi, (you'll have to use your imagination there). One of which is in the showroom. Unfortunately it hasn't been sold yet. Nevertheless, already got a few good ideas for knocking bit'n'pieces of furniture into shape. My fingers will be crossed I'll find the right
sura-pa-mearl odds'n'ends...if ya get my drift!
