The hummingbirds just arrived in Southern Idaho. They are late and those that know are blaming the late spring. The late spring is also being blamed for disease that killed a large number of roses. I remember last year they were very late and many died, and this year it happened again.
My neighbors went away for the weekend and I fed their cats and they paid me a welcome $20. They did not have to pay me, but I appreciated that they did. Cookster is missing a few teeth and takes longer to eat, so I pay attention to Pierre while Cookster finishes. After my neighbors got home on Sunday afternoon, Pierre was standing on the top of my fence and I tried to shoo him away. He just looked at me like, hey, I thought we were friends?
Most Sunday mornings I like to walk over to Jacksons and buy a newspaper. Even in Idaho, the newspaper is a liberal rag and I refuse to pay for a subscription. Last Sunday I was standing in line with my paper and the young guy behind me says, you know that paper is really biased? I said, I know, I really just by it for the ads and the coupons. He seemed satisfied with that.
It is a good thing that no one at work appears to be a good receiver, as in mind reader. I was alright by the afternoon, but I had a hard time this morning. I need an hour off to deliver my painting for the IWS show and I had a hard time getting it, and then I had a hard time understanding how my boss wanted to work out the time off as flex time. I got the time off, but it got really complicate and I am now convinced that my communication skills are much better than I thought. I learned from the pregnant girl that the person that they hired instead of me only lasted a week. She did not have enough computer skills and they let her go. It was really close and a tough choice? Hmm.
After work I picked up my painting for the IWS show from the framer. No more spending money on framing for a while, but the painting really does look awesome. I had to hang it on the wall, so I could admire it for a day.
