So I have one telephone and two in-person interviews to do this week. I received the call for the second in-person interview this morning.
A Sunday.
Times sure have changed. Where I was raised, Sunday’s were sacred. The day of rest. You did what had to be done – milk the cows, feed the animals – then that was it except for those who attended church.
Anyway, of the three, the call I got this morning is the one that interests me the most. Sure beats doing income tax. UGH! Many things to consider before choosing; salary, hours, commuting or not and, most importantly, will I enjoy it?
On a better subject, ‘my son’ took Little Flea to the movie theatre last night. It was her initiation, she had never been there. The first text I received:
“I’m a bit nervous, cause we went to buy candies at the dollar store so we don’t have to pay $20 for a bag of skittles…but for sure Miko will squeal on us.”
Then after a few minutes:
“Already she says to the lady at the Dollar Store that we’re bringing candies to the movie. Thirty seconds after I explained to her to not talk about the candies. Thirty seconds for Heaven’s sakes!”
I hadn’t finished giggling before I learned that Little Flea didn’t want ‘my son’ to bring those candies into the theatre. That was what she called cheating. He talked her into it eventually.
Somewhat later another text came in. There was a fire alarm. Everyone had to evacuate. “Great first experience!” he wrote. It ended up being false and they were allowed back inside.
“So after we are all back in our seats, the guy said we will rewind the movie 20 minutes. All the parents were…no no no! They backed it up like 5 minutes.”
Little Flea and ‘my son’ came for their usual Sunday supper tonight, and she said that she enjoyed the experience, would have liked to have gone back today, but that the next movie she wanted to see was in theatres only April 12th. She’s knows and remembers all this stuff. At that age I think I was still counting on my fingers, and I’m pretty sure I knew nothing whatsoever about dates months ahead. I imagine I am not the only grandparent amazed at what our kids know as compared to what we knew then. I also imagine our own grandparents thought the same about us. We have come a long way, and our kids and grandkids are keeping up the trend.
That makes me SMILE.
Sharing it with you, folks, icicles and all!
