right now, granny twinks, how sweet! when do you get to actually see this darling granddaughter? oh, and as soon as you get picks, please share!! well, well, well...today the boss asked how general manager was doing. and i said i didn't know why he hadn't offered me the general manager position. he kinda mumbled about the mexican workers not respecting women again...and lo and behold, about 4 hours later my phone rings while i am cashing out. and i hear him say, "can you talk?" and i tell him i am just balancing the day but no problem with giving him some time. and he says, "i don't know why i never considered you for general manager. the only other time i had a good general manager, it was also a lady, and she was also someone with a lot of medical experience." anyway, he went on and on and how smart i was, how capable he was sure i was...and i'm thinking he may be regretting somewhat hiring this guy just 'because he's renting a house' from boss and 'a nice guy' who also happens 'to have been married several times'....but has no golf experience whatsoever. doesn't know a round from a hole, a par from a chip, etc. i also tore down and repaired our vacuum cleaner today, washed the dishes in the restaurant and ordered new clubs and hats for the pro shop...things that aren't technically my job, while cleaning and rearranging the entire pro shop, and doing my regular job of running the pro shop... the good thing is boss is now looking at me seriously and perhaps one day i will be the general manager.

Right now, Tabby, you were very brave and politely forthright! Good for you! It sounds as though you did get him to re-think his knee-jerk decision. Hopefully, the new manager guy will reveal his unschooled (in this business) face early on and you'll get a chance to prove yourself! (If I were you, I'd start documenting any marketing ideas you share with the guy.)

Right now, all-late-and-wrong-HP is waving Hi to Legal! I minimized TVCH after that last post, to watch the weather report and then left to take the Herckle out. Pretty out, but warming up to 85 today. My back is doing ok so far! Stopped at the grocery store to pick up some Perdue skinless boneless chicken breasts and my receipt featured a coupon for a free rotisserie chicken! So I picked one up, much to Herc's sniffing pleasure on the ride home. And right now, hi, Skootz. With all the Melodie picture-taking expertise in her techie family, I'm sure Dra can help you out.

Right now..I can understand how Landi feels. I have been on very slow dial-up since I have been on internet. (Highspeed/dsl was never available) However, I now have an antenna on my porch which is connecting with a wireless tower...so sometime this week the rest of the connecting will be done and bye bye dial up. Right now...I am thinking I can get the photos off of my computer onto my computer card...just have to do some more reading and figuring it out. At least I won't lose those pictures. and thanks Reader...I do think there is a store nearby that accepts emails of photos..will have to look into that this week when the wireless is connected.

Skootz, buy a card reader which are relatively inexpensive. You can put the formatted card into the reader which is hooked up to your computer and then copy the pics back to the card.

right now, i came home from my morning shift at the course. we made more money this morning than we have in the last 3 or 4 days totaled together. i'm sure general manager will take credit, although he wasn't there until almost noon! then the boss' mom (owner's wife) got stung by a yellowjacket and had never been stung before, so i made her a paste of baking soda and water and slapped it on the area, then stayed around for a little while to make sure she didn't have an allergic reaction. she really loves me now! she was fine, thank God, as she is close to age 80. tomorrow is my one day off and i am going to a casino with a co-worker. several of us were invited to a party last night that one of our golf course member held. this little gal (age 61) was a hoot. she has an indoor pool. she drank tequila shots (she normally has a glass of wine or sip of beer about once a month). she ended up going in the pool fully dressed, sitting on everyone's lap, being a cute little goofy gal. she swore she would be on the course at 6:30 this morning. when we called her house at noon, her 80-year-old dh said she wasn't up yet LOL... anyway, our family is starting to socialize more and more with co-workers and golf members, so i hope things go well at work so we can still all be friends! right now, i called my son in san diego because during some footage of frances last night, the ticker across the bottom of the news page mentioned something about a major earthquake supposedly happening "sunday in san diego". well, we haven't been able to predict one yet, with any more accuracy than 'may happen in the next 30 years', so i thought that was strange. then a male guest told me his relatives from PA called him about hearing about a big earthquake predicted for san diego sunday, wanting to know how close he lived to san diego. how strange. ds hadn't heard anything and, as of yet, no earthquake. just wondering if anyone else heard this on their news?!

Right now I'm telling Tabby that prediction came out in April and was something like, 50/50 chance of a magnitude 6.4 earthquake happening sometimes by September 5, 2004 in an area 12,000 square miles east of L.A. I saw it on the news back in April, but completely forgot about it til sis called me yesterday and asked if I'd heard anything about it because she'd gone to buy a gallon of water and the store was sold out because people had heard about this prediction and were stocking up.

right now, thanks, wargod. reminds me of the nostradamus predictions which involved the 'actor tom cruise'....yeah, right! at any given time in california, we have been told there is a chance of an earthquake, so anyone could pick any date and have a 50/50 chance, i guess! i always sing draheid to 'rawhide'! even if it might be pronounced 'drah-heed'! to me, it always rhymes with rawhide.

Right now, yeah Tabby, when Darren and I saw the news report back in April about it we talked about how great it would be to accurately predict earthquakes, but saying there's a 50/50 chance of an earthquake happening over a six month time period in an area that is 12,000 square miles is pretty much like saying the sun will rise tomorrow. What I did get last night looking for info on it for sis was that the person/people who had made this prediction accurately predicted two pretty major quakes last year (though I have no idea if they were as general as they were with this one or more accurate.) The one good thing I've seen come from this is that people are at least thinking again about earthquake preparedness. I know quite a few people who went out and shopped for stuff they'd need in case of a major earthquake and while they didn't use it this weekend, maybe it will be a reminder that they need to keep up on that kind of thing. Heck, it reminded us that it's been awhile since we've talked to the kids about what to do in an earthquake, and got us to talking about things like..while we have plenty of canned food and bottled water, we don't have a manual can opener. And while I know where the water main and gas main are and the wrenches needed to shut them off, if I was home alone and needed to I physically can't shut either one of them off with my bad wrists.

right now, war, i certainly didn't feel or dream about any earthquakes, but i did for the of last two big ones in the l.a. area. both times i called my husband at work and asked, "was there a big earthquake in los angeles?" and he'd ask around and everyone would say 'no', and about 15 minutes later the tv would be interrupted with breaking news of the earthquakes. but when we had the loma prieta earthquake more in my neck of the woods, i had no feeling or dream. the house i had lived in in the santa cruz mountains (where i lived when i went to college) slid off its foundation. most everyone i knew lost their homes.... it would be strange to really be able to predict earthquakes because people would jam the freeways and we would probably be worse off than we are not knowing but being always semi-prepared.

Right now, I can't go to sleep because I'm so excited. My bf has been offered a position in the London office! I've been googling away looking at London websites. We are leaving Wednesday to go on an 6 day exploratory visit to London. I hope we like it. If we moved to London, I'd be over half-way closer to home. I've never been to London, but it has always been a dream of mine to go see it. I never dreamed I would actually live there, though. After Wednesday, you probably won't be seeing me on the board much in the next month. After our 6 days in London, we are going to the Netherlands for a week and half, previously scheduled, visit with my bf's family and friends and then I hop on the plane to the States for a 2 week visit with my family and friends.
