3 March

Rainy Sunday

Today it rained most of the day.  Better that than snow.  The sun is suppose to come out tomorrow.  March is suppose to be a on and off month.  Meaning, just when you think spring is coming, a snow shower pops up and the temperatures drop.  We'll see if it is in like a lion and out like a lamb.

And another one bites the dust.  Hurray, Karen has a job starting tomorrow.  She received an offer Friday, but had to do a little negotiating because they offered her a smaller salary than they had talked about in her interviews.  She negotiated a $1 more than they offered with another $1 increase in 60 days if she proves herself.  We have no doubt that she will prove herself invaluable to them because she is very good at what she does, even at 58.

We'll have a new candidate start on Monday.  Her name is Brekke and she is a chemical engineer.  She has a BA and some experience.  She worked on the TSA machines that were suppose to detect bombs.  Brekke and Michael would have been a fun team; he blows up things and she keeps them from blowing up.

The funniest part of Gospel Principles class was when Brother Watson was pulling food out from inside his jacket and putting it in his wife's tote bag.  It looked like a magic trick but it wasn't suppose to be.  He was trying to be subtle.  Sister Watson is pregnant (due March 30) and directs the choir.  We have practice right before church.  She had asked him to bring some snacks for her.  He pulled something from one inside pocket, then another item from a different inside pocket, and third item from another inside pocket.  It really looked like a slight of hand trick and made me laugh.
