1) So, when we took her for her eye exam recently, she identified the shapes on the eye chart (and, FWIW, apparently it's a 'high 5', not a hand, and a 'bear on a bike'. And the pictogram of a phone is clearly "grandpa's telephone"--because everyone else she knows uses cells only). Then the doctor made the pics smaller, and asked her to name the shapes again.My child sighed, slouched, started drumming her fingers and looked in another direction. When the doctor repeated the question, Buffy changed the subject and started talking about random crap.
2)I have a (brief) appointment w/ the insurance guy on Friday; he'll have quotes for me about a week after. As it is he IS asking some questions I don't have answers for yet...but I can't say things like the cash-flow-through until I could set prices. And I can't set prices until I figure out what my overhead is--and I need insurance prices for that.
And because I haven't yet used my mother's day massage, I'm following up with a massage on Saturday, huzzah 
And this has me geeked.
2.5) A place I want to work has an opening that's right up my ally. I'm sending a resume tonight.
Downside, it is not *THE* place I want to work--this place is about the SAME as my current commute which, uh, as I've whined before, sucks
Upside, eh, it would be an awesome job I think. Pay may or may not be lousy but, it never hurts to throw out a resume, right?
3)So, my idiot coworker gave notice. He's got something like 2 weeks left. He hasn't been here yet this week, which has been just SWELL, because HE had an 'event' that involved 75 low income kids coming in to do sciency stuff and he dropped the ball COMPLETELY. He had given them a wrong room. THe project he approved was messy and all that--which is FINE, but he 'forgot' to require or arrange for labcoats and goggles (I know that a lot of the time, spilled junk is NBD but, I think it's fair to assume some of these kids don't have 15 extra pairs of jeans @ home and don't have laundry facilities readily available. That makes labcoats MORE important)
I have been jumping all over the place and have gotten ZERO of my own job done this week because of this.
Actually, As soona s I post this, I have another set of 10 lab coats to move from the lab washer to dryer so these kids will have clean lab coats tomorrow.
4-I picked up a talking Diego Rescue Center for $5 the other day. It's missing some bits so I tried to go on ebay to buy replacements. Apparently in a 'stick it to over-indulgent parents' move, these sell for like $200 on ebay. I apparently spent $10 on Diego toys that are worth about $300 if I sell them. They're sitting in a box until her birthday because I managed to buy them w/o her seeing them.(She will get 'real' presents too, but these aren't easy to find so she's getting used)
5-Since I added the "goodreads" book scanning app to my phone, going to the library book sale is much awesomer. I mean, they don't allow you to scan there (which doesn't bother me--the dealers behave kinda badly w/ them), but I can poke at tings on my phone and figure out which of the Harry Potter books I've never gotten around to buying and that I DO have a copy of "Benjamin Bunny" but it's a crappy edition, so, yes, I SHOULD buy that one that will match the rest of them.
The Mr. says I have a problem.
