ummm, sorta

things are coming together. i pick up the new car tomorrow; hubby is fully immersed (ha) in his new job; the defective mattress was picked up today and replaced as a queen instead of king.

i hope i like the new car. it seems like it will be really nice and i'll get pictures up as soon as i can.

hubby thinks he'll like his job, but it has made him really tired. i'm wondering if he needs to have his meds checked. i called and moved up his yearly appt to march 1 and he'll get his blood drawn 2 days before so the doctor will be able to update whatever needs updating.

the king mattress was really too big. and getting the sheets/pillows/blankets for it -- whoa, $$$$$. so thankfully the gal macy's sent out was able to verify there was a defect in our new (about 6 months old) stearns and foster mattress so we could get it replaced. they didn't squawk too much about us wanting the smaller size. i totally loved the mattress except for the defect, so the replacement is exactly the same one.

but the job -- i had an interview with the deep background guy and let me tell you ..... what an experience. they kept wanting more references and more references yet i couldn't use relatives. hmmm, well, i'm an introvert and have moved quite a bit. that means i have few friends i bother staying in contact with, but the ones i do are precious to me. which seems to mean: i'm fycked.

and when they called this morning to say my information had been sent back because they showed my social security number as something different than what i had written down, i about hit the roof. enough already. i'm honest. i have not worked for pay since 2003. i have no intention of overthrowing our government and would viciously fight anyone who would. and the social security number i wrote down is correct.

put up and let's get going, or shut up and leave me alone.
