Silliness So what are you doing RIGHT NOW? - Page 2954

Today I got a reaction to a job application I sent in yesterday. It's for a job at a store that sells light fixtures, so very close to our old store. I'm going for an interview on Wednesday morning!

I've got an another couple of applications sent this week, but I'm hoping this is the one. Unlike any other job opening I've seen so far this store offers a set schedule instead of a flexible one. They're not open in the even (I'm more of a morning/daytime person). They do want you to work one day on the weekend, but I'm perfectly okay with working on Saturday (on Sunday we go visit our parents).

I'm hoping it'll be a good talk and I get offered a job.

Yeah, good luck on getting the job! It does sound like a very good fit.

re wrapping the tell-tale shaped package: put it in a bigger box, with lots of filler paper!

Thanks everyone!

Currently I'm working on the wedding album for my parents. They always planned to make one themselves, but never did. I recently digitized the photos for them and my sister and I decided to gift them a wedding album for Christmas. Earlier this week we selected which photos we wanted in the album and I just put it together. Later today my sister will have to take a look if she also likes it.

They had the option for a cover art that really fits with the invite, place cards and menu (which will be adding in ourselves). I'm hoping it can be combined with a linen cover.

I want to order it this week, then it should be here well before Christmas.

Sounds lovely! I've seen vacation albums which were quite nice for Gramma to remember the trip.

We have a couple of photo books but mostly loose pictures (and apparently a lot of slides).

I've taken all the pictures and I'm going to digitize them. The only problem is there are so many and I need to sort them first. Over time they all mixed together. I've bought a good photo storage thing with smaller boxes to sort and store the photos once I'm done (might need to order a second one), so they don't end up on a pile in a drawer again.

I got to the bottom of the laundry basket. I had assumed there was one and now I've confirmed it.
