Not sure exactly how many more days there will be of housesitting. I was thinking that tonight would be my last.
However. Tonight at the twins' birthday party I asked mom if she had heard from him and when he would be back. She hasn't heard from him. SHe told me that he had told Dad that he might be back Friday...maybe Sunday.
Well, gooooood. Nice to have a plan.

I got to play manager today. In more ways than one. The Boss called in sick so "interim manager" goes right to me. I was reminded of this when the checks came in the mail today and we pondered if we could cash them today after 2:00(When he usually lets us have them ) or if we had to wait because one of his big things is that NO ONE passes out checks but him.
Both my co-workers chimed in at the same time "But you're acting Manager!"
LOL! Times get kind of frantic a few days before we get our paychecks.

Also. I took a 3 hour lunch. I didn't MEAN to! Melanie came by the office asd askied if I wanted to have lunch with her. We haven't talked in AGES!
And I guess we tried to make up for it during lunch.
Time had passed, I realized that we had been at our table through a few cycles of other diners. But I completely lost track of time. I started wondering why no one had called me (they always do) and when I checked my phone I had 9 messages! OOopsie!-- I had the ringer on vibrate since church services and forgot to change the ring.
I felt *SO* bad.
So. Three hour lunch, AND my phone went straight to voicemail. SEE! I can be manager material! *snerk*

Also had a great conversation with the Assistant Manager that could be right for the script of an HBO original:

Me: "I've got something you want...."
Him: "YES!"
Me: "You want it? Come get it."
Him:"Yes! Oh. I love you!"


Too bad we were talking about the paychecks. ;)
And the fact the he is still a teenager. That would make it a Showtime script, yeah?



Well. Since I don't know how long I'll be here for sure. I'm going to close the computer down and go spend some quality time with the poodle and The Doctor.

laters!

year of the ted
Kinda weird (to me, anyway) just how easy it was to feel completely at home here.
Well. Maybe not. 13 years, an all...
Anyway. Ted seems very happy to have me visiting. :) I was going to give him a bath tonight. But instead, we fell asleep watching Dr. Who.

Which, by the way--- Omigosh! I LOVE it! How can I have been completely missing this fandom? Where have I been?!


< random btw thought> Why is it that the lightbulb in the dining room blows when I'M here?!? It couldn't wait 'til Saturday? </ random>
