No Check

December 7th, 2015 at 11:46 pm

Why am I not surprised? No check today, despite the promise. What is the matter with this organization? I will ask again tomorrow, if I go in. If the remote access works, I will stay home.

Oh, and I learned today I will have to share my space with another contract worker. I don't see how I can get my hours in if the remote access doesn't work and I don't have a workplace. Can this get any harder?

I got 7 1/2 hours in today. I wanted to go for 8, but I was just too brain dead for that last half hour.

I spent $5 in the museum café. Just for coffee, a roll and juice. I got $1 off with coupons. I did bring my lunch.

I bought the membership for my son's family. I got a $30 discount, so it was $125. They will get free admission, free parking, and free admission to ten showings at the Omnimax theater. A pretty good deal!

I looked at the museum shop today for gifts for my grandsons. While there were things that might interest them, they were so expensive, even with my discount. And I'll be giving them college money, and the museum membership is for them as much as anyone else -- but -- they have to have something to open! Some little gimcrack, but a good one. Have to put the thinking cap on.

Tonight I'm treating myself to watching "Woman in Gold." I borrowed it from the library and it's due tomorrow. I also have a book due -- a "most wanted" book that cannot be renewed. I have about 90 pages to read, so I might be able to do that tonight after the movie.

I hope my new cat doesn't keep me up, like he did last night. He cries -- or complains -- very loudly -- at night. He also runs from me if I move too quickly, as if he thinks I will hurt him. I know I am dealing with an unhappy past here, but I wish he would adjust a little more quickly! I need to sleep!

    I always have had great luck finding fun and interesting gifts for children at my local teacher supply store.

    Very frustrating that your promised check did not materialize.

    Did you see anything at the museum store that you might find online for less? Or another local store for less? What about a book with a theme from the museum. If it is a space museum for example, maybe a book on space? Or a puzzle with that theme. Both can be bought on Amazon and mailed in time for the holiday.
