USMB Coffee Shop IV

[Ringel05]

I'm finally awake. Couldn't sleep last night, finally went to bed around 3 am and thankfully (for the wife) she let me sleep.
Woke up to temps in the upper 30s with a rain snow mix, yesterday it was in the 70s.........

You too? We woke up to a pretty substantial dusting of snow this morning but it has pretty well melted now. But they're forecasting more of the same today along with high winds. We'll see. Forecasting for our area isn't exactly an exact science.

It's sunny here now but there's still storm clouds all around us. Nothing here stuck to the ground and it's almost 50 degrees and like you we're having strong winds.
The wife just received another follow up job call, they want a face to face....... Grand Junction CO....... an 11 hour drive......

Last night I told a friend of mine about my realization that I might be out of touch with popular culture because I could not recognize the faces on the covers of the tabloid papers arrayed at the grocery store checkout lines. He told me an even more dire story.

He was watching the 1982 movie Poltergeist with his 14 year old son. My friend had to explain to his son why the television set went to static after playing the National Anthem. His son did not understand why a TV station would go off the air!

What a world we live in.

I may be showing my age if I say I remember when the only channel in England was the BBC and they had intervals between programs. They had things like a potter making a pot on a turning wheel, to fill up the space between programs. Then there was the test card which came on for a while after the programs were finished.

BBC is a great news organization though and if you only got to have one channel, that wouldn't be a bad one to have. I find a LOT on BBC America to watch here. They are the best outlet for Star Trek reruns too.

So is Grand Junction appealing to you? It is a really neat area--high desert similar to here but colder winters and hotter summers. Quite a bit to do if you're really active--biking, hiking, river rafting, etc.; not as much to do for the more physically subdued. We had a chance to transfer there once, but declined due its remote location, not being close to anywhere, and, at that time, not that good of roads to drive to. That has probably improved though.

Coffee Shop V would look better in the heading though. Too many read the thread topic as Coffee Shop intravenous

I think I might've even asked if that's what it meant. lol

Right now the wife is concentrating on getting a job, almost anywhere and no, Grand Junction is not high on my list of places to live.

It was a good day in used vehicles, several deliveries and even more inventory came in. Slowly the growth is returning.

 

[Ringel05]

There's a another job in Phoenix that the wife said no to, it's a short term Project Management position that may or may not be renewed. They called her back today and offered $85 per hour but again they can't guarantee the contract will be renewed........

I just got a message about a job offer. A company saw my resume and they just called (I didn't answer because I screen all of my calls). I let them leave a message and they are offering me an interview for the job of a benefits specialist. I'm going to have to look into it. It might be a good opportunity. If it is and if I get this job, I would have to give up one of my other jobs. Dilemmas.

Wow. A job you would really like? One you really want? I need to know what kind of vibes to send here.

I'm not sure yet! Lol. I called back yesterday and left a message, but haven't heard anything yet. I don't really know anything about this job. I don't remember applying for it!

 

[ChrisL]

It was beautiful here yesterday. 60 degrees, partly sunny.

 

[ChrisL]

Happy Tuesday!

Coffee shop is empty again today, huh? Well, I've got my coffee!

 

[Foxfyre]

Good morning Chris. I'm a bit slow getting up and around this morning plus did some chores before checking to see what's on the computer today. But neither the snow nor the wind developed for us unless it all happened (and melted) before I woke up this morning. But the sky is somewhat overcast--our local ground hog almost certainly did not see his shadow.

So time for coffee. . . .

I am going with Carolina. I am predicting a close score, but I find it more likely that Carolina blows Denver out than Denver wins.

Well, nobody expected Denver to beat New England either, so we'll see.

That's true. I just think Carolina has been so dominant this season, including the playoffs, that they will be very hard to beat. That's even more the case with Manning playing......less than stellar football at this stage of his career.

Still, the Pats are a good example. I expected them to go undefeated a few years back and the Giants beat them.

Just woke up at 10 AM after going to bed at 4 AM that's why I'm just arriving.

Yesterday was bad here, but not very cold. in the 40's
We had hail, high winds and rain off and on all day long.

Ah so. I wondered where the bad weather we were supposed to have went. You got it.
