Good evening,

Very traumatic day, a woman collapsed at work today while she was shopping, I walked out of the back and saw her laying on the floor. I called the emergency code , the assistant manager came over and started performing cpr immediately. 911 was called, the man performing cpr revived her twice, and the emt's revived her once. It was the worst and scariest thing I have ever seen. The worst part was other shoppers were yelling and swearing at the employees for closing off that area, they "needed" stuff in that area for their shopping lists. It was sickening what these people were saying while a woman lay there possibly dying. Good news is the last we heard the woman was alert at the hospital.
Other employees went home early, as lots of nerves were frayed, I am still quite shaken.

Just need to relax and calm down.

Goodnight, everyone.

Well, off today without wheels. Took my car "Belvedere" into the autobody shop for what I thought was just a quick look-over, change oil, etc. my husband thought there was a problem with the shocks, I thought it was just something clunking in the trunk. He was right.
Crack in the shaft on the left, ball joint on the right is out of whack, lose wire on the block heater. Plus, both front tires need replacing since they've been working so hard at trying to stay straight that the treads are worn down. This is why I have my car serviced regularly. It's going to be just over $1,200.00 to repair everything (and yes, I trust my mechanic). Good news is they say they'll have it ready for me after 4 p.m.tomorrow. That's quick for all the work they need to do and the fact that they have a few other vehicles to work on as well as mine. I'm not happy with the unexpected costs, but at least I have the funds to cover it so I can get my car back on the road quickly.
Note to self: call back and tell them what kind of tires to put on my Belvedere. The ones on there are top notch and work well on these northern roads (no snow tires).

Ouch. I know how you feel with the unexpected costs. I was expecting my recent boiler to be a couple of hundred to repair but I'm now having to dish out £2200.00GB for a new one!! Ouch Ouch Ouch!!!

On the bright side , at least your car will be running smooth and most importantly safe on the road! Great that you can have it back so quickly too!

Good morning, everyone!

I'm back teaching this morning. I have no teaching positions between now and Friday, but we'll see how it goes. For now, I will enjoy a fairly quiet day at Russell. I've already supplied for this teacher twice this year, and they are Grade 11/12, so I know them all quite well.

Overall, it was a fairly decent weekend. On Saturday, however, I had an awful incident which led to my phone becoming unusable. I had to purchase a new phone... and I really don't have too much money for that. Not a good situation, really.

As I mentioned, yesterday ended up being a really good day with a Packers victory. My only complaint was having to go through the day anticipating the game. It is one of the few reasons I do not enjoy Sunday Night Football games. I'm actually not a fan of losing almost an hour of sleep, too.

Well, I hope everyone has had a decent start to their week thus far. Something tells me that this will be quite the Milestone week here at MMC! Have a great Monday, everyone!

Bummer about your phone. Glad you're all set up with a new one.
Have a fabulous week, brent!

Morning Brad.
You lost me at tractor implement... :D :D :D
Hope you both figure out how to get it running!

Oops, sorry! Tractor implements are just the equipment that attaches to the tractors, like plows & planters. This one is a 6'-0" wide mower that attaches to the back of the tractor. It was supposed to make mowing mom's huge yard easier. Not so far! LOL

Awe - thank you Merry! It's true!


I hope your weekend went well despite working....hope you were able to relax some!! Have a great Monday!

Thank you!
Sorry to say, not much relaxation this weekend. Worked 6.5 hours Saturday and 9.5 hours yesterday, and spent the remaining few hours trying to get all my household stuff done that I usually do on the weekend. Today's my 8th consecutive day at the office without a day off. (It's getting to be like "Groundhog Day"---same routine every day!) About a month ago I scheduled this coming Friday as a day off---I hope I can keep it! We're so busy that people are having to postpone their vacations. I feel terrible for them.

I just got off the land-line to negotiate the bill I received as it is not at all what I was quoted when I purchased both phones. I figured, the first month had extra costs for signing up and a bit to pay over time for the phones, but I saw the bill for this month and was shocked it hadn't dropped much. There's nothing they can do about the quote or misunderstanding I received "in-store" so I reduced my data usage from 6 G down to 1 G a month. Doubt I'll use that much between the two phones anyway - my husband hasn't even used his yet.
I had a dream lastnight that I lost my phone in a snow bank - that was pretty spooky, the further I reached into the hole, the deeper the snow became and I could feel the chill up to my shoulder. Whew! Just a dream. Then this morning, I'm talking billing - thank goodness it wasn't a damaged phone I was calling about.
