You can tell it’s spring around here

by The Diva

It’s that time of year again when people start working on their houses. Whether inside or outside, it seems spring is the time to either renovate or repair the house or yard or add something new.

I’ve noticed a lot of changes in my neighborhood as I walk around with my dog. Some houses are getting painted or having a new fence put in. Others are having some landscaping done. Still others must be having either some home repairs done or some renovations because I can hear hammering or sawing as I walk by or I see those big bins in their driveway for reno materials.

One house that I walk by regularly just got a new metal garage put up and it’s kind of cool looking. It has a sign on it that says – metal residential buildings and I guess they’re the makers of the building. No idea how much that would cost but it’s going to last for a long time I think.

Anyway you can definitely tell it’s Spring around here, there’s lots of work getting done! I’ve been working on my garden and getting some work done in the house – with more to come … How about you?

So Facebook changed it’s look again

by The Diva

So what do you think of the changes to Facebook? I don’t use Facebook all that much, but oddly enough I had started using it more and the last month or two and wouldn’t you know, just as I was getting use to it and getting a feel for it, they went and changed the whole look and feel of the site and well .. I don’t really like it.

Actually the first time I was on when they changed everything they had turned on chat on me and I ended up talking to a lot of people. I normally have chat turned off because I just don’t have a lot of spare time to talk to to people when I’m trying to get work done on the computer or on my sites, but since chat was on by default that day … I ended up talking to people for over an hour before I managed to get out of there!

I talked to some friends and some people that I don’t know all that well about every thing from the recent Facebook site changes to the weather to someone getting car title loans Washington to another friend buying a house and more. I think I’m pretty much caught up! Oh and then the next day Google+ opened up I believe and that was another day of major social interactions on the internet!

So back to my original question – what do you think of the new Facebook? Like it or Hate it?

My husbands hours keep changing at work

by The Diva

My husbands workplace is really messing up his schedule. One of his co-workers was going to go back to school so they hired a new employee and shortly after the new guy was hired, but before he started the guy who’d said he was going to go back to school and had asked to cut down his hours said he wasn’t going back to school.

Unfortunately, by this time it was too late to “unhire” the new guy so my husband, Chris, the guy who was going back to school and then wasn’t and another guy all lost one shift per week to accommodate the new hire! So my husband went down from four shifts a week to three.

Now my husband is an attendant in the Recovery Room and he came up with an idea … he asked his boss if he could train in the Operating Room as they’re always short staffed there so over the last few weeks he’s been training one day a week there. Now this week the new guy started in the Recovery room and after the first day he couldn’t handle how busy it was and he’s going back to his old job in the hospital!

Unfortunately my husbands hours are still in jeopardy. The guy who was going to go back to school is going to go back in January and now another coworker wants to cut back his hours so they will still need to hire another worker … so my husband might be able to pick up more hours in the Operating Room now that he’s been trained there .. but he’s now thinking about starting over and going back to school too .. he’s noticed a demand in Physical Therapist Jobs so maybe going back to school for a career as a physical therapist.

We’re just hoping that over the next few months he gets enough hours for us to scrape by!
