Fourty@last!

Fourty at last and feeling great!
What a week it has been...first a call during the Tiara Party from Gary to say Larry (HP Director of Ed) was looking for me...then a whirlwind of calls Monday to arrange an interview....24 hours to prep...and i kicked ass! (and in the midst of everything had to attend a bday dinner for Pam [Greek food ROCKS!]) then an hour + drive to the tiny town of Clinton: the area that always gets hit hardest by snow!!!! YIKES!!! The interview was awesome and within an hour, i had a job!!!! (just 2 days shy of my 1 year anniversary being downsized)....celebrated with Sally over dinner... Thursday---back to Clinton to meet with girl i am replacing...she's an hour late meeting and can only stay an hour....useless....back to London to plan strategy and brainstorm on a place to live---detoured to Goderich....picked up maps...then met Buffy for a quick shop at Sam's club...Friday i connect...finally...with HR and get a 10 month LTO contract...$41000....and benefits....have to have a police check and head off to the police station....$66 and 10 minutes later, i am declared a NON criminal...hooray! then to get my licence renewed....so much to do...
Saturday was my b-day and Sally and Buffy and i are headed for Goderich in search of a new home....they have a BEACH here....complete with boardwalk...i have to get pictures to post....the weather is perfect as we wander "the square" for possible apartments, but it's a holiday weekend so no one is around...love the trendy shops....my search will continue next week! bought a lottery tix too.... my 40th year is off to a great start!!!!
