Surprise Mummy visit

Monday night when I got home from work there was a message on my phone:
"Julie, it's your mother, I'm coming to Montreal tomorrow, talk to you then. Bye."

Since my mom lives like 10 hours away by car, this is not a message that I regularly hear. She and her boyfriend arrived yesterday in the morning, and I picked them up at the airport and we hung out before work. Last night, as I worked til 10pm, I had visions of them stranded somewhere waiting for a bus or something on the wrong side of the road and looking pathetic with their bags and getting splashed by passing motorists. But, apparently they did okay.

Today we went to the casino, and then had lunch, then I dropped them at the airport for their flight back. A busy little visit, but nice to see Mummy.

So, today was the deadline my possible new boss (PNB) was supposed to possibly get back to me about a possible new job. I was thankful to be occupied with visiting and touristy stuff cause otherwise I would have no ends left on my fingers (when I get really nervous, anxious, stressed, or bored, I chew my nails and pick at the skin around. It's disgusting, I know, but I've been doing it since I was like 2 so I've given up all hope of stopping and have accepted it as one of my lifelong vices.)

When I got back from dropping Mummy at the airport, I checked my answering machine, then cell voicemail, then my email. Nothing. I was so sad. My PNB told me "If you don't hear from me, call me, cause it's busy at the store and I might forget if I get swamped." So, I called her.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!

I'm getting an offer, but it will be in writing so they will either mail or email it, and I won't get it until early next week :( I really wanted to quit tomorrow, and never go back to that dirty, rotten, miserable, crusty, mother-fornicating place, however, I will have to wait to make my grand departure next week.

In other interesting news, Omarosa (see previous post about the Axis of Evil) apparently has a master plan, that does indeed include me. That's funny, I wasn't aware she even recognized my existence. So, she was going to be discussing this with my boss today. That's also funny, that's she's actually letting us all in on the joke this time. Usually she just shanghai's us and laughs her way back to the corner office. Tomorrow should be interesting.
