Wednesday 5 May 2010
Hair  is now at 17" and seems to be continuing its normal half-inch growth per month.  Nuttin' wrong wit dat.  I did not wash this morning for reasons which will be explained below.  So hair is up.

Other  I seem to have a pinched nerve or something in my neck/shoulders, so I have limited range of motion right now.  I guess I stretched wrong yesterday afternoon because the pain started setting in after I got home from work.   Tongue  I'm taking Ibuprofen (and using a heating pad when at home) but, honestly, I usually just have to wait these things out.  About a week from now all will be back to normal.  Anyway, with limited range of movement, it's a pain trying to reach above my head to wash my hair...literally.  So I didn't get in the shower today. 
Let's see, what else...  oh yes, the Kohl's gift card.  I ended up buying a bra.   Smiley  I only had to kick in $3.64, so I didn't think that was too bad of a deal.  Girl can't have too many bras. 
Army Son and his unit are preparing to deploy in August and he's already started getting his stuff lined up, as far as power of attorney, finding a new home for his fish, etc.  He'll be spending a month and a half in the field (California) training.

It may be a muscle spasm, I had one a couple of years ago that took several weeks to work out.  I have heard that alternating hot and cold works best.

Hair  Nothing new.   Smiley 

Other  The pinched whatever has mostly worked itself out.  The only severe twinge I feel now is when I first move to get out of bed in the mornings.  I'm not even taking ibuprofen now. 

It's final exams week here at the university.  Surprisingly enough, I really haven't had an extreme number of tests to score, and I'm not sure why.  Some instructor evaluations have started trickling in, but those can wait until next week.

So far I've spotted 3 hummingbirds.  Blackberry winter hit us though, about the same time the hummingbirds arrived, so I think it's got them confused.

Pinched nerves are the suck. Sad Glad you're getting better though.

If I may ask, what's a "blackberry winter?" Huh

I'm happy that your pinched nerve has healed.  Those are so painful!

So far I've seen 2 humming birds...well, actually 1.  My husband said that one was hovering over me while I was asleep outside a few weeks ago.  That same day after I woke up I saw it, not sure if it was the same one though.  However, I haven't seen one since but yesterday when I checked the feeder, it was empty. Huh  I moved it near the window so that I will be able to see them from indoors if they are indeed feeding from it.

What is blackberry winter?

Blackberry Winter:  A (mainly Southern) term used to describe a brief period of cold weather that coincides with the time the blackberries are in bloom, (typically in early to mid May)   Smiley

Hair  I requested and have received a free sample of Pantene's new Fine Hair Solutions, the "flat to volume" shampoo and conditioner.  They're good sized samples and I estimate they'll last...oh, maybe a month, if I stretch them out (perhaps more).  My choice now is whether to wait until my current bottles of Pantene Volume (original formula) run out and then try the samples, or to switch off now.  I usually itch to try out the samples I get, but I think this time I'll bide my time (in case I'm disappointed with Pantene's new formula   Sad    ) 

Other  Did I mention that my wonderful daughter gave me a lovely card with $50 in it for Mother's Day?  (peers back through recent entries)  Nope, shame on me.  Initially she mentioned buying me a new pair of sneakers--we have a thing for sneakers, she and I.   Cool  But she ended up giving me money instead, which works just fine for me.  I think instead of sneakers, though, I need work pants more.  If the price is right, I can possibly manage both!

Hair  Nothing new, just growing.

Other  So the secretary -- er, pardon me, administrative assistant   Roll Eyes  discovered that (a) I'm looking for a part time job and (b) I have applied at Drury hotels but haven't received a response from them.  It just so happens she's friends with one of the bigwigs at the hotel (as in one of THE Drurys) and is sending an email to him on my behalf.  She read the email to me and she used words to describe me such as hard working, dependable and moral.  Awww!!!   Smiley  I said I didn't know about the moral part, but the rest was great.  Heh.   Grin  I have a good feeling about this...and a bad feeling.  I mean, do I WANT a second job?  Of course not.  But I'm tired of being poor.  Who knows, if I find the right part time job NOW, it may morph into another full time job when I retire from here...cause let's face it...I'm probably never going to be able to stop working.

Yeah, the ad reads (it was in yesterday's newspaper), and I quote, "Apply online at blahblahblah.com or in person at (address)", so I'm going to stop by there this afternoon when I get off work at 3:00.  I tried the online route, to no avail.  Time to pay them a visit.   Cool  I've also applied for this job at one of our two local hospitals:

Summary:
The Administrative Partner is responsible for effective and efficient communication control in assigned areas. The Administrative Partner is responsible for order entry into CRT of physician orders, consults, statistics, admission and discharge information under the direction of the Charge Nurse, Assistant Manager, Patient Care Manager, AP Manager/Educator, Director and Vice President of Patient Care.

Qualifications:
High school graduate or equivalent. Previous computer experience required. Previous clerical experience required (preferably in a medical field). Successful completion of a medical terminology course preferred.

Now, I do not have medical field experience, nor have I completed a medical terminology course.  What I do have is over 20 years of clerical/customer service experience and that HAS to count for something...hopefully.  The work shift would be Fri & Sat, night shift, 11:00 PM - 7:30 AM.  I have never worked nights before, but  *shrug*  I'm willing to try.  Of course I have to wait for an interview first.  LOL

I don't know if it's a general thing in the U.S.  They seemed to love applications or maybe it just seemed so because I was going for low pay, low status jobs (I'm not saying some jobs aren't good).  Over here the employers are flattered if you ask in person because it shows more engagement and if you call back a week after having sent an application, first having called or first having met to hear if there's a chance you'll be called in to interview/if there could be a change in their decision.

When will you have time to sleep????The night shift could be grueling,but rewarding too because you can get alot of work done with minimum interruptions.
Hope it works out well for you!!

That's called graveyard shift. It works for some people if you're up for being nocturnal. Night jobs tend to pay more. The downside is that it can really mess up your immune system and make you sick a lot. Undecided

Hair  growing

Other  So. 
Apparently I'm going to be a (step) grandmother.   Shocked 
Army Son has gotten his new girlfriend (very new) pregnant.  I think they've only been going together for 2-3 months. 
(Do young folks nowadays call it "going together"?) 
She's 6 weeks along and is supposed to be due around January 7. 
We know very little to nothing about this girl (who is 21).  She's still living at home with her parents, and will continue to do so, even after Army Son deploys to Iraq in August.  She's coming here with him in July, so we'll meet then. 
The thing is... hubby and I will probably never get to see this child, with the mother living in North Carolina.  We'll send cards and presents a few times a year, but will be virtual strangers.   Embarrassed 
So once again, the "boy"  (who will turn 28 in Aug.) has screwed up, this time in a big way and, this time, he's very much on his own.
