TODAY: big clean up after the weekend. And waiting on 'news' from Stew. Not expecting it to be what we wanted...
Steve is NOT impressed with our Teddy!
Now I have to blow dry them and trim them again... oh yaaaa...
so... Steve and I are sitting in the lounge watching American Idol that I taped... when our front door is opened and we look at each other and go "Who is THAT just barging into our house?"...
And it was the kids home from school! We could not believe it was already 3pm! Where the hell did the day go?
Seems it took me HOURS to groom both dogs again!
I really can't show you either as Teddy no longer looks like Teddy, he looks like a terrior. Not a Bichon/Shih Tzu. SADLY.
Only good thing about that is he won't need grooming for AGES. That is good yes?
OH and where is everybody??? Hardly anyone has popped in and said 'HI' today... *sniff*
NEWS: finally got THE NEWS we have been waiting for. And it was a big fat NO. Stew applied for a job within his company which would have meant moving to Wellington for us. But he didn't get it. He is ....... dejected but determined to get his 'skills' up so when a similar job comes up he is better prepared to get it. (edit: at Stew's level there are only 3 jobs above his that he can go for...so it could be a LONG wait which is why we are so upset about not getting this one.)
I on the other hand am just cross... we had got our hopes up for nothing is would seem.
Off to eat chocolate now... comforting it is.
I forgot to say why I was so bloody cross on friday! Stew had been told EVERYONE who was interviewed would be told the outcome on FRIDAY. So on friday night the GM told Stew "Oh I shall talk to you on Monday with feedback" and then left the building for the weekend! WTF? He knew we were literally sitting on the edge of our chairs waiting for a 'YES' or 'NO' from him and he didn't care that he was just making us wait two more days! WHAT. AN. INSENSITIVE. PRICK.
End of Day: going to put this day to bed and hopefully wake up tomorrow in a better mood.
DIET: totally f*#ked up.
nite nite.
You never know, no news could be good news, fingers crossed.... Have a great day sunny here yay :-)
ReplyDeleteBut what is there not to love about Teddy - he is a superstar. Martine x
ReplyDeleteohhh love the pic of your son and newest granbaby..
ReplyDeleteHope "news" is good news
Yay, she looks so sweet and lovable. :) Hope all is well with Stew!
ReplyDeleteCant wait to come up again on thursday... starting to miss being at your place... weird!
ReplyDeleteI'm around!!!! Bugger about the job, would have loved having you closer and I am sure the PNth girls would have too.
ReplyDeletePoor doggies....the joys of being groomed!!!!
Enjoy your chocolate :)
Put the chocolate down!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIf Stew didn't get this job it is because there is a better one coming up for him.
Oh - sorry to hear that Chris - would have meant you would have
ReplyDeletebeen a lot closer to us down here:-(
No wonder Teddy peed the floor he just knew what was coming.A # two hair cut!
ReplyDeleteSometimes the people doing the judging don't have the skills themselves. Look at the person applying the skills can always be taught.

Sorry you didnt get good news, hope it works out soon for you. We are going through something similiar, at the waiting to see if we get an interview stage.
ReplyDeleteWend
Hi Chris. Sorry that you and Stew didn't get the news you were hoping for ... but on the plus side, it means you get to continue living not too far away from your lovely grandchildren for regular cuddles, a little bit longer :))
ReplyDeletesorry Stew missed out on the job would have been great having you back down the middle of country again closer to us all..but on the broight side kiddo u r closer to Emily etc
ReplyDeleteSucks aye, we have been waiting 4 months to hear if the job in Nelson is going ahead and still we wait and we only have 4 days left of employment...
ReplyDeleteMust be the norm to stuff people around about jobs from within - same thing happened with my hubby
ReplyDeleteJackie
Oh, all your kids are so beautiful! Even the furry ones!
ReplyDeleteWow. Congrats on another grandbaby. I love baby toes. Oh, sorry about Stew's news. Not sure if this will mean anything to you. When one door closes, another opens. Hope another opportunity comes up soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely adorable baby girl!
ReplyDeleteThe news about the job is not what you and Stew wanted but take comfort in the fact that you have a wonderful new granddaughter.
Hope things get cheerier soon!
Have had the same thing from my husbands employer in the past. All I can say is better than the 2 times he has been made redundant! What industry does Stew work in? On the good side the new grand daughter looks sweet lucky you. I hope you get to visit them soon.
ReplyDeleteWell a late comment is better than none huh! cute toes cute dogs not cute about job.
ReplyDeleteSorry Stu didn't get the job. Maybe something better will come along. Ya' never know!...debbie
ReplyDeleteBaby is adorable and mommy is too!
ReplyDeleteThat sucks on the job. Scott applied for a job that a friend of ours was trying to help him get and we never heard anything back (after 4 times of redoing the resume).
I love your dogs. Love them!
