Good morning, Ponders, Froggy is doomed. She went back to bed. But I'm here to be sure she gets to the dentist on time! Isn't that a song, "Get me to the church on time"?
Delightful stories yesterday!
I have a story about my last job that I worked at for seven years. Maybe I've told it before.
I interviewed for a job and didn't hear back. Near the end of the week, I got a call. The girl they had hired went on her first break, and didn't come back. I was hired temporary to fill in while a girl had her baby. Then five other women had babies, and I moved from department to department to fill in. By the end of summer, they hired me as permanent.
That's a great story, 'Wog! I signed up with a couple of temp agencies back in the late 1970s-early '80s. Almost every assignment I got either turned into a long-term temp position or an offer of a permanent one. It was a great way to discover where I wanted to work and what I wanted to do.
Thank you, Phoobers! It took 8 shots to put me out, but I'm alive. Thanks for the prayers!!! Hop! I go back for 2 more fillings on the 18th--yipe! Thank you, Eva! Smooch!
Look at the nice cat Sissy left me! How pretty--must be a girl cat...!
I was just waiting for your post to tease you. Don't think that would be appropriate now. We're sorry you have to suffer/endure and fear pain. We are all hugging you now. Double Smooch!
You can always tease me, Phooster! And thanks for all the prayers about my chronic pain, too--it's been easier this last week and I just know it's all the prayers ;-)
Frog, great day at the dentist! See? You survived! You'll survive your next appointment, too. Personally, my stomach is already in knots because I have an appt. next month to get my teeth cleaned. We share a dental phobia. Counting on you to encourage me next month when I start getting scared.
Praise the Lord and pass the biscuits. The wasp gave up! No wasp on my patio for 2 days.
Eva, laughed about Joe leaving work at noon when he was young. Not long ago, a new person, on hearing we don't have cigarette breaks, picked up her purse at 10:00 and walked out. We've gotten much better at screening new potential hires since that.
Oh gosh, cigarette breaks? I was at the hairdresser's a few months back, talking to a job recruiter. She said she was amazed at the sense of entitlement of young people nowadays. She said they have no sense of what it means to "start at the bottom" or what salary to expect to start with. She had some funny stories.
My dentist used to say I hurt his feelings because I was always so unhappy to come to my appointments. He's a wonderful man (a conservative) and I trust him completely, but it's what he does for a living that I have problems with!

Just love these stories. Pulling for froggy.

Hey, Phoo, I'm watching NCIS reruns!
Hire 'Woggy--she doesn't even drink coffee or tea!

Glad you survived, Froggy! I knew you would.
