Curses!

On Matt's first day back to work he noticed his "cube mate" had moved out. Hmmm...he wondered....was she transferred up to McKinney?...was she fired?...did she quit? He was unable to get his questions answered that day because no one was working. You see, they get every other Friday off and that happened to be the off day. He had to work so he'd not be put on short term disability because of his blasted appendix.

Today he had a meeting with his super-supervisor and asked what had happened to his cube mate. "Oh, they haven't talked with you yet? I figured they'd have told you by now. The McKinney office had a project for a new hire. They tried to get a hold of you last Friday, but you were out sick so they grabbed her." Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....He would be working in McKinney right now, I would have a car and could get a job, he'd be able to sleep in an extra hour, and he'd not have to commute if only his body hadn't gone on strike last week! However, his super-supervisor also said that there was an opening in McKinney for a new hire with more of a math back ground (which his cube mate had) so they might pull her over to that project and bring him to fill the position he originally would have had.

SO GIVE A LITTLE PRAYER, CROSS YOUR FINGERS, WISH ON A STAR, or FIND A FOUR LEAF CLOVER! We need all the help we can get! It would be absolutely wonderful for us if he could come up here.

That would be nice, wouldn't it? I'll put in a good word for you.

"Curses" doesn't seem to sum up the situation. More like all those funny looking symbols on top of the keyboard. It kind of makes you think you were MEANT to be miserable for the rest of your life when stuff like that happens.

But on a positive note, it does sound like they are going to try and get him transfered up there as soon as it is possible so hopefully your days of commuting on the 75 are drawing to a close.

Fingers crossed!

Blessings! Matt was offered a position up here today. He has to meet with the supervisor tomorrow morning for a mandatory interview, but they've told him he's as good as in. Good bye high gas prices and long commutes! Hello a little more mobility for me!
