Congrats!
Congratulations are in order for my mom, who accepted a job with MetLife (hehe – makes me think of Snoopy!) and will begin working there shortly!!!!!! Yeah Mom! There’s some kind of training period, during which she’s supposed to take this very tough insurance-y test, and then she’ll be more official – but it’s a first step! Whoohoo! And the office is over in Ballentyne, so it’s not too far from their house, which is great – some of the other jobs were farther away, even one downtown, so this is a major plus – esp given gas prices…
In other news, my laptop’s hard drive crashed yesterday, but the fabulous people in academic computing managed to save pretty much everything before it fritzed out – but it’s going to take a while to get a new hard drive in and even to get a loaner – hopefully sometime today… But good news, I’m going to visit my brother this weekend – probably Sunday til Monday – so we should get some good brother-sister time – maybe putt-putt or go-carts – that sounds bro-sis-ish, right?!?!
I’m bringing back a quote from a while ago cause I read it again and loved it again – from Robert Burns – abridged from one of his poems (actually called something like In the Prospect of Death or something morbid, but still quite good!):
Thou know’st that
Thou hast formed me
With passions wild and strong;
And list’ning to their witching voice
Has often led me wrong.Where with intention I have err’d,
No other plea I have,
But, Thou art good;
and Goodness still
Delighteth to forgive.
Good to hear about your mom’s new job. Give her my congrats.
