This is a job is at a call center. It was listed as "Long term temporary". It isn't through a temp company. It is the same place and I started there in Jan this year and this was my 3 lay off and 1 cut back in hours. This lay off was almost 4 months. No unemployment because I think you need to work 26 weeks straight before you can collect and I haven't.I did temp work for more than 20 years. I loved it. You can't get fired, only released. And in between jobs, I would collect unemployment. Some jobs weren't as temp as I would have liked. But the pay was good. I worked at Wyeth Pharmaceutical for more than three years. Some jobs were fun and some monotonous. I am one of those folks that like filing. I like making order out of chaos. And most files in big companies are a disaster.
Thank you Addie....
For me, today I am going to try to finish cleaning the kitchen that I started last night. It is starting to get cozy warm in here. I might even make a pie. My SIL is supposed to stop by later in the day with a dish of pasta and my daughter's gravy. That will be my supper. I need to change my bed linens. And I might, just might do a load of whites. We will see. I have all these grand plans. Let's see if I have the energy to follow through.
To all our Canadien friends, Happy Thanksgiving. Eat hearty!
We sold the whole pie today so I put another ruhbarb pie in the oven tonight. Enjoyed the pool tonight & dh had a great supper made when I got home, shake & bake pork medallions with garlic parmesan pasta.
This morning I'm making pies--but I'm doing it at a local church that has a pie making group. The pies are sold to raise funds to support various programs at the church and in the community. After that, I'm making a quick trip to the farm to check on Rocky and his new girls, back home. I know what I'm going to do this evening! There's leftover pastry in the fridge from the appetizer I made for T'giving, turkey, gravy, peas, potatoes, and carrots, I know what I'm doing this evening when I get back from a quick trip to the farm. I probably will make another batch of pastry...turkey pot pies for the freezer. Thanks for the idea, RL!
Are you going to use the pie maker?
Well I just finished wrestling with a giant butternut squash!
I thought it would fit into a large saucepan but that didn't work so I dug out my stock pot.
That prompted a search for the cover in the depths of the pan cupboard.
The search triggered an avalanche of stainless steel and cast iron!
Talk about pandemonium!
!
For the turkey pot pies? I might make one large one and then do the rest with the pie maker. We'll see how much energy I have left when I get back from the farm (and how late it is). I have to be out of the house tomorrow by 7:10, so I can't keep my usual hours and still get up, shower, eat, and attend to the hens.
