Just nothing, really...

Nothing going on.

No real ideas for posts.

My aunt, however, did pick up and ship my stuff from Florida.
*big sigh of relief*
The only things I have left with them is my bike (prolly would cost as much to ship it as it did to buy it, or more) and my half-chaps (I forgot to tell Kim to pack them, and anyway, they only cost me $25 so no biggie). I AM hoping to get both back when they come home. Actully, now that I am thinking of it, I did leave some things in the camper also (locked in the storage area), 6 pillows, coat hangers, a folding camp chair and 4-5 cases (8 packs) of Poland Spring Water). If that stuff is not there when they get back I will not be to upset.

I am still looking for a job, though I have not been to activly doing so lately. I have been working for Tara at her barn and working at the store some. I am going to be going to a job fair on Tuesday. 22 Employers will be there, we will see how that goes.

I did get a job offer from the lady that owns the farm that Tara is at (and running away from screaming). She called and was wondering if I would be willing to stay working there after Tara leaves. After talking with Tara about that possibility, I told Marcia (the owner) that I would, BUT I need to make at least $14 an hour and that I am currently working for Tara temporally and WAY under what I am usually paid to help her out. Well, she said she would think about it while she is on vacation. She will be back before the 1st, I guess we will see.

My Feburary reading, Liriel, is going slowly. I am a little over half way through the book, and more than half way through the month, I hope I finish it in time! =)

Anyone have a suggestion for me to read next?

Just me,
Fran =)

and the situation goes from bad, to worse...

A HORRIABLE Wellington adventure update.

*sigh*

*many many cusses* sorry...

Anyway...
I had personal items packed up in the camper I was living in ready to be shipped back when I left, and my boss said that she was going pay to ship them.
Well, I did not have time at ALL before I went home to make it to the post office or the UPS store to ship them, so I left them in the camper, under the impression that my boss would ship them.

Nope Not the case.

She put the boxes in their horse trailer and does not plan on shipping them back, at all.
She just plans on trailering them back north in April when they come home.

My good camera, tons of CDs and DVDs, other personal stuff are in there.

I called her tonight and fought with her for a while with the end point of I have to find my own way to get there home. She will not even let the other employees on their time off ship it for me. I really want to be out of their business for good at this point.

I was actully pretty impressed. I grew a back bone talking to her. I stood up to her and told her how I felt. The only thing I regret, I think I used the word bu!!$#it a few times.

*sigh*

Now I am working on a way to get my stuff to some place to be shipped.

You know what she told someone here in Rochester. (she being the boss)
She said that now that they have a good group of workers things were going well down there.

Yup.

Class.

Anyway. Fuming done. Sorry for the cussing.
I did cuss a lot tonight, too. Very loudly too. *sigh*

Sorry John. Love you!

Anyway...

Just me,
Fran =)

and Rochester morns...

GennyC lost her baby.
Very sad day.

Update:
More Links-
Rochester Democrat & Chronicle
R-News

Odds and Ends....

No book suggestions?
I do wonder how many people read my blog, actully. I know Eva does (when she remembers *nudge*) and John does. But who else out there reads this? Post a quick comment for me so I know that my words are not just floating in cyberspace for no reason =)

So on the job front...
I have not heard back from anyone.
*sigh*
I called Lollypop 2 times and left 2 messages.
I stopped in Heritage Christian and no one was there.
Nothing from Scottsville Vet (I have not really persuded it, though)

I did have an interview with Equestrian Village scheduled.
*sigh*
DID.
She called me yesterday while I was at the laundrymat and told me that the person that was leaving the full-time job to go to the part-time opening changed their mind and decided to stay full-time. So they are not hiring full-time anymore and will be putting an add in the paper for a part-time opening. *sigh*
So, now I am going to call Lollypop one more time and call that one quits. Then I guess I am going to go to some local stores that I could live working at.
I do have a wonderful friend who needs some help cleaning stalls, SO I am going to help her out for some money (and for some fresh air and getting out of the house!!). She is the owner of the very cute pony that I drive (and showed this summer, Skatt.

So, anyway I belive thats it for now.

Know anyone hiring in Rochester? =)

And rememeber, toss me a little comment to let me know who is keeping up here.

Oh yea, and also book suggestions! =)

Just me,
Fran =)

Janauary Reading...

So, not last year, but the year before and the year before that I had a great New Years resolution. I would read at least a book a month.

For me, that is a lot.
I read very slow.

So, after not keeping it up last year, I am doing it again this year.
So, I will try, on the first of each month, to le you all know what I have read in the past month.

Suggestions for future books are always appricated.
(Hint: I enjoy fantasy and young adult books)

So, here we go!

January reads-
last 1/2 of Eldest
Sabriel
first half of Lirael

I am not really sure what I am going to read next. What I did a couple years ago was write down all the books I want to read and draw a name out of a hat (bowl actully).

Suggestions?

Just me,
Fran =)
