Work for Pay!

[susandennis]

I just signed up for a paying vendor gig at Microsoft. It's working on a couple of their websites - internal and external and it is good - very good. I'm quite jazzed. I start probably on the 15th and go until the end of June.

I just made an appointment to get my car checked up. I bought it brand new in 1999 - a Ford Escort - the last year they made them... It has 5,350 miles on it. Yep. Total. I'm sure it needs an oil change and maybe even gas. Tomorrow. 9:30 a.m. I think I'm going to take it in and then do my walk from there while they work on it.

If I were a good daughter, I'd scoot out for a quick Mom visit since I won't be able to get there before then. But, she's just had her grandson and his new wife and she's tired of company and, more importantly, I don't want to go so I'm not going to unless she specifically asks which I don't think she will.

So... I have a week and a half to screw around knowing that there are $$ at the end of the tunnel. (Hopefully, this job isn't too strict on metaphors that make sense.)
