RE: A Trip to D.C. - Monuments, Museums, and People that Aren't Horrid

Ha! Oh I'm sure the poop picker-upper will be an attention getter. You just wait for your inbox to start filling up with interview offers :)

I was thinking as I typed that all the odd-ball things I do around here. For instance, I emptied out about ten years worth of pond scum out of a mini ornamental pond in my front yard because it sprang a leak. Leak was an easy fix; getting it empty was the adventure. Ha. We really should be able to list such things as skills. I mean, seriously, it takes some perseverance and wherewithal to empty that sucker. I think it counts as a skill.

Sort:  

I've employed several assistants to monitor and respond to my emails...I expect gazillions.

This is getting weird...I only just enrolled in the getting pond scum out of ponds course at the local Technical and Trades Education collage last week. I have to say, I'm looking like a bloody good choice for that year or three in FL!

Sorry for the ridiculously late reply...I keep falling asleep on the couch midway through doing my nightly reading to the kids and losing my adult-time nighttime. Anyway...

No way. I could have saved you so much money by apprenticeship long distance. Here are my clear-cut instructions:

Find a random plastic container from recycling bin; use it to scoop nasty stuff out into a large bucket; get overenthusiastic with your scooping and accidentally fill it half full so that it is too heavy to move; drag it across your yard and at the same time learn why tortoises move slowly; dump the bucket while getting muck all over your feet; repeat.

It is a gorgeous fall night here, I am satisfied with the knowledge that my newly repaired pond is refilled, and there are two dogs putting their cute muzzles on my feet. I suppose all is well. Hope you are also.

Your comments are always welcome, and ridiculously late ones are better than the ones you don’t send at all. ☺️

Well then, thanks for your job description; I think my nasty stuff bucket scooping skills are up to the task, and I’ll make a point of not wearing my best shoes in case muck-spillage occurs.

I’m glad you had a nice night and hope tonight (and every night) is the same. There’s not much going on here, not that I can say on Hive anyway, but I’m as well as I can be I suppose, I’m not dead after all, so there’s no complaints. I’ve got a TV series in my sights for tonight (Saturday night) and have got the wherewithal for a pretty legit cheese/cold cuts/fruit platter…I make a legit platter really. 😉

I hope you’re having a good weekend, we’ll catch up soon.
