Ha! 1500 posts!!
Ok, 2nd assignment is done and nearly ready to fax off to the assignment people...next one due in two days but I haven't really started it and I have a medical certificate to cover me till Friday...eek!
Amanda - how has your agreement gone? I hope the situation has improved. 'Smothered' indeed. What a noive (gotta pronounce that out loud to know what I'm saying there!). Yep, if only WE could run away when WE feel snowed under by it all - how would the world be???
Jess - I did a bit of a hit and run in my last posts, good to see you are going ok with the brood Good luck with the AVON. Pash was my first foray into 'those sorts of things', so it might be a while before I need to place another order! Are you still doing the Alpacas, or is that where DH is now without you? I'm a bit confused, last time you were in you said things had sort of exploded.
This weather is awesome - it's rugging up weather!
So, the job the other night was a house fire, but by the time the first truck got there is was a roof on stumps. It was hot and luckily, the call came through after the gas bullet had exploded (you don't want to be around for the kaboom, and if it's gone 'kaboom' then the house was pretty much a loss well before then!). Things were still going 'pop' for a long time after we got there, but nothing dangerous. For about 3 hours we were operating under the assumption that there were people inside, so it was with great relief that we watched the owners come home. Hot and heavy work, but it was a great team effort and it was great to be on the fireground again after so long out of it. DP was cursing, but he had been drinking and we have made the deal that I go to night time jobs, so there *raspberries*!!
Our niece turned one on Saturday and her and Oscar played so well together - they are too cute together. My SIL's sister is pregnant and I am beside myself with excitement about that news.
Well, I have an assignment to fax, another to start and a week of cramming study into a full schedule to look forward to, so I'd best be off again.
Sorry to miss personals for many of you (I can feel my head starting to wind up again), but hi to everyone and I will be lurking (so forgive me if you see my light on and I don't come back for a while...hee hee, that pesky light...it all makes sense now LOL)
