It was like the universe was finally taking pity on me and handing me my shot at finally getting a new position.Quote:

Boss knows but is new to the office so he really doesn't grasp how screwed he is when I leave. There is only 3 employees in the office. Me, a deaf girl who can't speak so never learned how to do anything related to the job, and a lady who doesn't speak English well enough to be taught how to do anything nor can communicate coherently.Quote:

Hopefully the time between having the background check started and getting confirmation that the job is mine and a start date is just as short as the time between the interview and the conditional job offer (one week). Tomorrow will mark a week and I'm getting really antsy about hearing back from them. Mostly because I want to give my two weeks at current job and get my pension stuff in order so that can start up in a timely manner.Quote:

Then I can finally put in my two week notice at the current job. So by the end of March or beginning of April, I will be at the new job... finally!!!
Major milestone completed so good for you!Quote:

Oh, most definitely a good thing!! Previous Supervisor completely tanked our office and it's just getting worse because the new Supervisor is just here to wait out when he's able to retire.Quote:

congrats, Klunick! Hope it's all you want it to be!!
I am hopeful it will be but honestly, if it's not, it will still be 1000% better than my current situation. I have felt hopeless and trapped for at least a year if not more.Quote:

Well all things being equal, a better commute is always a good thing.Quote:

After several weeks of hunting for a missing hand towel, I finally found it. Behind our bedroom dresser. My only thought was I had put it down on the dresser because someone was in the bathroom. Somehow it got pushed off and ended up behind the dresser before it got put back into the bathroom. I only keep one hand towel for each set of bath towels which is two. I switch everything out on Saturdays when I clean the bathrooms. When the other one went missing, I had to wash the remaining one and put it back out which meant while it was getting washed and dried, we didn't have a hand towel in that bathroom.
Well, glad you found it! I couldn't function with two hand towels, we go thru them quickly, and there are three out at all times. I prefer to line dry when I can, which limits my laundry days sometimes, and more is better for me, lol. But I don't like sets of things in most forms, and my towels don't match so that's not a problem here. Even when I had sets of towels (wedding and shower gifts, back in the day!) I wouldn't put them out in sets. I like things that go together, re: colors, etc, but don't match. (I also don't like most things symmetrical either - matching tables flanking a sofa with matching lamps...) Balance is fine, but not symmetry. Sometimes I think my eye-brain connection is skewed, lol. ** sorry, I seem extra chatty today, I'll stop now, lol.
My towels aren't all the same color either but the hand towel does match one of the towels. In the primary bathroom, one towel is blue and the other is brown. The hand towel is always brown. We need different colors so everyone knows whose towel is whose. In our boys' bathroom, there is more of a variety of colors. Light blue, light yellow, black or dark blue.Quote:

I switch ours out at least 2x a week, they get a lot more use than bath towels, and in spring and fall (cooler temps, no air movement) they don't dry well in between uses. I buy them at yard sales or cut down bath towels and hem them, to keep the cost down. DH wanted some new hand towels for the upstairs bath he uses the most, and was appalled by the prices. He decided he'd just stick with what we had, lol. I try to stay away from light colors, as they don't seem to stay nice looking (and that should be on the peeve page, lol).
Just sayin here....I see lovely towels at our thrift store (Value Village) all the time.
I don’t know that I’ve seen hand towels or many of them anyway at Goodwill. I did pick up two nice bath towels and exactly the right color that I currently use in my bathroom.Quote:

Nice towels, rosa! My latest towels have come from Muji. https://www.muji.us/collections/home...c92326c4&_ss=cQuote:

White is hard to keep looking white, however, so I may go with a teal blue because that's the accent color of my bathroom. Or maybe a soft grey. But I want only one color.
Finally got the start date for my new job. I turn in my two weeks at current job tomorrow.
Congrats, Klunick! Hope the two weeks go quickly for you!
That's wonderful, Klunick, hope the new job is wonderful and glad the long commute is behind you.
Congrats, Klunick!! Best of luck with your new position!
Yay! I finally got the job I wanted in a particular organization. We are booting out the head honcho. Someone who had the job I want is moving up to head honcho status, and I’m taking her job.
This set of dominos started when I wrote to the national organization complaining about our head honcho who simply does not communicate. Fortunately the national organization had the same experience with head honcho so we didn’t have to really convince anyone to remove him.
Congratulations!!Quote:
