Taking a note from Katrin's blog post of the other day, here's what I've done so far today...
*got up at 5:50
*spent 38 minutes on the elliptical, 5 minutes walking it out on the treadmill
*showered, turned on the coffee maker, and got out the door by 7:37
*expertly backed out of the parking spot despite the moving van behind me
*got on the train in Palatine at 7:51 - balanced my checkbook and had some great conversation on the way in
*got off the train at 8:35 and proceeded to walk to work, stopping at several Starbucks locations along the way only to find that they were all out of my breakfast thing
*got in to work by 8:58 and began to respond to e-mail
*cleaned up the kitchen at work, made some coffee
And now it's 10am on Tuesday, so they're testing the air raid sirens, as they do every week. :-)
Just a couple of follow-ups from Sunday:
1) Interview with the first placement agency yesterday went really well. I was complimented on my resume format. I have a meeting with a second one today at lunchtime.
2) While looking for the Kirchweih picture I linked on Sunday's post, I found a very distant relative...I saw the name Judith Rill along with an e-mail address on a Donauschwaben post on ancestry.com and e-mailed her just to see. Turns out her ancestors came from Kernei, the German town in Yugoslavia my paternal grandparents came from. She's traced the family back to Heinrich Rill, the first Rill in Kernei, and I get to hear all about it when she's back from Europe in a few weeks. How cool is that?
Happy Tuesday all!

Show off! ;)
That so great to hear about your relative. I wish we could link ours back that far!
I agree, how wonderful to find a distant relative. SO fun!
Wow, that's fantastic on all accounts. You made coffee twice? :-D I hope you got to drink some of it.
My family went to Ireland several years ago and were able to find distant relatives. I didn't care at the time (I was about 10), but now I think it's cool!
what kind of jobs are you looking to apply to?
I want an admin job preferably arts related, 9-5ish so I can perform at night and on weekends. I also want something where I get paid vacation & holidays, sick time, I'm not paying 50% of my health insurance premiums, and my boss isn't drunk every time he comes to work.
Wow your list of job qualifications is very difficult. Sounds like you want to be treated like a normal person by an undrunk boss. Your should really evaluate your standards.

I mean, really, how can you have such high expectations?
seriously, Viki. So damanding!

How's the search going??
That's fun to find distant relatives.
