Good Monday Morning, Live Journal!!!

Is it possible? Can a Monday be good?

Well, when you've spent almost the entire weekend without internet service, yes, it can be...when you have internet at work, that is.

I can't go crazy of course. I do have to work. But at least I can check things, post things, do things at lunch that it's next to impossible to do at home right now.

I had some sporadic phone/internet service last night and a few minutes this morning, but the line cuts out so much it almost makes any attempts worthless.

Still, it's better than all day Saturday and until around 4:00 yesterday afternoon, when the line was completely dead and there wasn't even dial tone.

Phone trucks were out there working bright and early this morning. I have high hopes that it won't really take until Wednesday for them to get it all fixed, but...

One never knows.

Hope everyone has a GREAT day! Got anything exciting in store for this week?

I do. I've got two days off...Thursday and Friday, so it's a three-day work week for me.

Oh! Oh! And, we're supposed to have rain today!

Could it get any better?

WOO-HOO!!!

One Aspect of My Job That I Really Love

Making job offers to qualified people who have been out of work for a long time and really need a job.

It's really nice to be able to deliver good news to seemingly nice folks who really need that bright spot in their day. (And money in their pocket!)

I got to do it again this morning. I've done it three times since I've been here.

It's nice to hear the excitement in their voices.

It makes me feel all good inside. :)
