Damn. Blogger lost my post. That happens about once a year to me. And since Blogger is featuring their wonderful, stupendous, new feature... post recover, I thought, no problem. But it's not there today! I saw it yesterday. Yesterday it was slowing my editing page down so much that it was freezing up. I was so annoyed that I wrote to Blogger and sounded off only to get the form letter reply to which I then responded, Please don't insult me by asking if I checked this and this. Of course I did. Writing to Blogger problems was my last resort.
Hope I can recall what all I wrote. Oh, about work. With lightening speed, the others told me who was to be trusted and who not to trust. How did they know they could trust me? Ha! Maybe had something to do with the first day I was there, I shoved a paper into the BIG boss's hand and said, "Take care of this for me, willya?" To which he replied, "Sure thing," and was off to take care of said paperwork. I didn't know who he was. I had seen him hanging around with the other associates laughing it up like a regular joe. Looking back on it, the others that were standing around in the hall did look somewhat stunned. And if I had it to do over again, I'd have handled that differently. At least I would have added a "please" to my demand! Take care of this willya? Geesh. We're still laughing about it. Someday I'll tell Bossman about it, but I'm too embarassed for now.
Lovely Skyler is parading around in her new bikini. She just came in from sunbathing on the back deck for about an hour. It's just now 63�. She slathered on some baby oil and iodine -- (do people in other parts of the country use that to sunbathe sometimes?) and I told her when it was time to turn. Her iPod and cell phone, the basic essentials to tanning, I suppose. What a different world. Oh, she has cut off her mohawk and is left with just inch long hair all over now. Not one of her best looks, but she wears it like she's queen of the universe. So bold and full of self assurance. Always the life of the party. And I'm so proud of her. It's a real privilege to be her Mom.

Susan - you crack me up about the big boss thing. I'm glad you can laugh about it!
I used to use babyoil, but not iodine to sunbathe. Oh, how would it be to be in a bikini? I knew for 2 summers, I believe ;-) It was great.
Have a fabulous day! *HUGS*
*grin*
I was wondering how the job was going!
Great post, Susan!
Shirl: you've encouraged me from the beginning to share some of myself with my readers. You make me feel safe enough to do so occasionally.
Karen: The iodine draws in the sunrays and is very dangerous to use because you will burn twice as fast with it. But you'll also tan twice as fast. Put about 10 drops of iodine into a smallish bottle of baby oil. Shake vigorously before applying.
