Ruby, it is no fun when you quit chatting just because you mistakenly put a word or words in chat. People do it all the time. No reason to cut out.
5:12 am
rubyfoo

Thanks, Molly! You are always very forggiving toward me and l appreciate it.
5:13 am
rubyfoo

lt's freeezing here, even had snow on the mountains last night, but aside from that and the awful pollen, l'm feeling surprisingly well.
5:14 am
rubyfoo

Locals always say not to plant before 15 May and l alwaays scoff, bug they are right, old wives' tale or not
5:14 am
MollyL

Spring is sssllloooww coming this year and before long it will be hot summer.
5:15 am
rubyfoo

Fortunately, my tomato plantt arree on the deck and onee of the flats alfeeady has flowers
5:16 am
rubyfoo

Too many typos!
5:18 am
rubyfoo

Nice-sized grid today, at least for me
5:29 am
MollyL

I have given up on vegetables. I am all flowers this year. I never have very good luck with growing vegetables in pots.
5:31 am
MollyL

I do have one large pot devoted to herbs and they are doing well.
5:33 am
rubyfoo

Since l can no longer use the "potager" in the bottom part of the garden, l just grow tomatoes on the deck. Tomatoes in the stores aren't worth eating.
5:33 am
rubyfoo

And herbs are pretty to grow in pots.
5:34 am
rubyfoo

l used to be so ambitious, but 20 years have taken their toll
5:36 am
rubyfoo

Since tomatoes need so much care, it is better having them close at hand and the amount of water they require is phenominal.
5:38 am

6:08 am
Riverdance

Not far from Avignon
6:09 am
Uneaixoise

morning all! River, are you having an adventure??
6:09 am
Riverdance

Took the train from Paris to Marseille and two hour coach ride to our Chateau
6:10 am

l hope it's warmer there than here!
6:10 am
rubyfoo

Bonjour, Une

6:11 am
Riverdance

Cold today, warm in Paris while we where there but cool here. How far away are you Ruby?
6:11 am
rubyfoo

Great food there, l imagine. Good fish, gr*** sauces
6:12 am
Riverdance

We have rented a beaufiful villa for the week.
6:12 am
rubyfoo

As the crow flies, not very far, and from Marseilles, l think there's a train to Annecy
6:13 am
rubyfoo

l know it would be too much trouble for you, but you are always welcome chez moi!!!
6:13 am
rubyfoo

How far are you from the sea?
6:13 am
Riverdance

Too bad I cant get there. Today we relax andtomorrow we have a private driver to take is to vineyards for wine tasting
6:14 am
rubyfoo

Another time, not to worry.
6:14 am
Riverdance

2 hours. This is wine country
6:15 am
Riverdance

So close but so far away
6:15 am
rubyfoo

l've been to Avignon and Marseilles, but don't know that region very well
6:16 am
rubyfoo

Have an old friend who lives in Nimes and spent time there and also in Arles. The South has much better food than this region!
6:17 am
Uneaixoise

River, sounds just terrific!
6:19 am
rubyfoo

Villa, driver, wine tasting -- sounds like Heaven
6:19 am

Très luxe!

Frances, would you like my deceased husband's beautiful silk ties for your patchworks? Nobody here we*** ties and it''s a shame to give them to Emaus.

Quiet dinner out with family. Matt and I worked on decorating letter G for grandson. Taught him how to chain in crochet--and he's a lefty. I had to show him with my left and that was comical.

lol I showed him single crochet to practice but I couldn't do lefty. Told him to watch youtube for lefties. Not sure if he tried it yet or not, but he got the hang of chaining pretty quick.
12:12 pm
TraderKate

there must be youtube for everything by now! My aunt taught me when I was young too.
12:14 pm
NatashaW

There really is a youtube for everything. We had to buy a new fob for the Prius as my hub lost his. You can pay a fortune to have the dealer reprogram it or you can do it yourself. But it's complex! Thank goodness for the youtubers who posted precise videos of what is called the "chicken dance" that you need to perform to program a new fob!
12:14 pm
TraderKate

what was the decorating of the letter G about mymuse? are we talking macaroni?
12:14 pm
mymuseisme

well not everything ... I've been hunting for free patterns for borders besides the typical shell and crab stitch.
12:15 pm
mymuseisme

Wow Natasha that's great. When Matt was asked how he would do something on the job, he said he'd figure it out or look up on you tube lol.
12:16 pm
TraderKate

I swear they purposely make new tech non-user-friendly, so you musy pay through the nose... :(
Glad you found out how to do it Nat.
12:16 pm
NatashaW

it's actually quite hilarious, involves opening and slamming the driver's side door in quick succession several times and inserting and removing the fob, all in a complex choreography!
12:17 pm
NatashaW

go back to your crochet discussion! I'm learning a lot from it
12:17 pm
mymuseisme

Kate, letter G is for Grayson's room. His Mom wanted white with blue and grey stars. So we are adding our little twist to it -- some grey stars will have glitter for twinkle little star.
12:18 pm
TraderKate

pretyy fuzzy still.
12:19 pm

That sounds nice. for his door or wall... the room is blue and grey?

amusing for sure lol Nat.
12:21 pm
TraderKate

haha mymuse... I see another redecoration coming after you say that ;)
12:22 pm

I suppose that must be it... or else it's a dastardly plot by the dealers to prevent folks from programming fobs on their own

12:38 pm

he'd probably have to tie into a different dictionary... and that would require permissions (?)
12:40 pm
mymuseisme

Or he could add another free dictionary as reference point. Not sure how easy/difficult that would be but we know our Dr. G. is a genius ;)
12:41 pm
TraderKate

He probably could but.. he has another iron in the fire... he mentioned not long ago he was working on something else.... probably won't do much with Babble as there will be something new and better in the pipeline
12:43 pm
mymuseisme

sounds interesting ... hope it is puzzle related.
12:44 pm
TraderKate

He wasn't specific, but it did sound like another word game. Now that Babble and Sudolu are free, it would be nice fjor him to have a better revenue stream for all his work.

7:19 pm
LuvWordGames

I love the smell of lilacs and cut some for the house but they start smelling sickeningly sweet very quick which is disappointing
7:19 pm
LuvWordGames

yes it's been cool here for quite a bit but is finally coming around, perhaps we won't have spring weather, just go right to summer
7:20 pm
penquis

i just hope we don't have a cold or rainy summer after the long winter we had...

oh, well, there's five more to find
8:55 pm
hurshy

name that proper noun! frankly, my de4, he doesn't give a damn
9:00 pm
Nef

hello, hurshy. I don't know what you proper noun is unless you mean Mr. Butler's first name (misspelled)
9:00 pm
hurshy

yes, i mean his first name, it is spelled just fine
9:04 pm
Nef

okay (I don't know the right way to spell it I guess)
9:06 pm
hurshy

rhett
9:07 pm
Nef

Thank You. I've never seen or read that as a person's name except in Gone with the AWind
9:08 pm
hurshy

yeah, it's certainly not common
9:08 pm
Shirlockc

and memorable
9:10 pm
Nef

Hi Shirlockc; how are youths days?
9:10 pm
Shirlockc

i just got canned from my contract gig, 1.5 months before the contract ends
9:10 pm
Shirlockc

so i logged onto babble to take my mind off things
9:11 pm
Shirlockc

you're prolly not expecting me to be so direct in my answer
9:11 pm
hurshy

sorry shirlockc
9:11 pm
Nef

Oh, NO! Sorry to hear that!
9:11 pm
hurshy

anything we can do to help?
9:11 pm
Shirlockc

i don't understand it, i thought things were going well
9:12 pm
Nef

What kind of work do you do?
9:12 pm
Shirlockc

recruiter had no real context of this
9:12 pm
Shirlockc

project manager
9:12 pm
hurshy

so were you hoping to have another contract or like a permanent non-contract job?
9:13 pm
Shirlockc

i was supposed to convert to FT if it worked out
9:13 pm
Nef

so you got "canned;" do you miss out on a bonus or something?
9:13 pm
Nef

DANG!!
9:13 pm
Shirlockc

i had my weekly with the manager and had NO indications that things weren't working out
9:13 pm
hurshy

so they probably are just being cold-hearted cheapskates
9:14 pm
hurshy

cheaper to just get another contract person
9:14 pm
Shirlockc

the recruiter called to say i'm not to go in tomorrow
9:14 pm
hurshy

nothing to do with you
9:14 pm
Shirlockc

even to get my stuff
9:14 pm
hurshy

oh you don't even get to finish the contract?
9:14 pm
hurshy

when CAN you get your stuff??
9:14 pm
Shirlockc

but this position was paid for for the 6 moths
9:14 pm
Shirlockc

*months
9:14 pm
Nef

And you can't get your stuff? WOW!!!
9:15 pm
Shirlockc

the recruiter is going in to pick up my stuff
9:15 pm
Shirlockc

is what i don't understand
9:15 pm
Shirlockc

i had no indicators, it
9:15 pm
hurshy

so weird
9:15 pm
Shirlockc

it's like bolt out of the blue
9:15 pm
Nef

That must really hurt, too
9:15 pm
Shirlockc

i thought i had a good relationship with the manager
9:16 pm
Shirlockc

i was fitting in, making a contribution
9:16 pm
Shirlockc

at least i thought i was
9:16 pm
hurshy

yeah, that's definitely really hard to deal with, emotionally
9:17 pm
Shirlockc

all he said to the recruiter is that it's not working out and i wasn't working to expectations
9:17 pm
Shirlockc

which is soooo weird as i did everything he asked
9:17 pm
Shirlockc

and he never gave me any indications in our one on one that i wasn't doing my job
9:18 pm
Nef

I have a friend who is an IT specialist; he just got hired into a new job (the company hired 6 others with him) & then they laid off 10 of the senior staff - including the guy who was orienting him. Now they hired 3 guys in India instead!
9:18 pm
Nef

Do you think they are doing something like that - hiring cheaper workers elsewhere?
9:19 pm
Shirlockc

i don't see how as project management is not usually an off shorable job
9:20 pm
Shirlockc

there was another person who would not work with me -- her problem, not mine -- and the boss ack. that
9:20 pm
Shirlockc

she wasn't working well with anyone
9:20 pm
Nef

Yeah; I suppose that's true (I know nothing about what a project manager is or does)
9:21 pm
Shirlockc

but even if it's because of that, i thought i had a good enough relationship with the manager that he'd at least tell me during our one on one
9:22 pm
Shirlockc

i don't think i'll ever find out why
9:22 pm
hurshy

*sympathetic hugs*
9:23 pm
Shirlockc

more time for babble, no more commuting <-- trying to be +ve
9:23 pm
Nef

Well, talk with your recruiter and try to get your confidence back. It sounds like a problem with *that* person, not you.
9:23 pm
Shirlockc

i really don't think it was me
9:24 pm
Nef

If that boss could be that 2 faced; you *really* don't need that place!
9:25 pm
Shirlockc

i thought he was a good boss too
9:25 pm
mkg

hi all. need to get half way.
9:25 pm
mkg

am way off.
9:26 pm
Nef

But if he can't tell you that there's a problem, that's bad
9:28 pm
origami

So sorry to hear that, Shir. Nothing like that should come as a surprise. That is just bad management. There should have been discussions with you if there was an issue.
9:29 pm
Shirlockc

well, i was a contractor so why would he spend the time "talking" to me -- except i thought we had that relationship, but maybe that was just my POV
9:29 pm
Nef

I agree, ori
9:30 pm
Shirlockc

i don't know anything anymore
9:30 pm
Shirlockc

i had 1.5 months left in the contract, i'm not even supposed to go back tomorrow to get my stuff
9:30 pm
Shirlockc

the recruiter is going to pick up the stuff for me
9:32 pm
Nef

you said the contract was paid for for the 6 months? Does that mean the recruiter was paid or you were?
9:33 pm
Shirlockc

the position was for 6 months, so the recruiter gets paid if i get paid -- i think that's how it works
9:33 pm
Shirlockc

was a 6 month contract and i'm pretty sure it was funded for the next fiscal year too
9:34 pm
Nef

what a pain.
9:37 pm
Trifioso

hello friends
9:38 pm
Nef

So, can you rest & regroup for a few days or a week or 2 & then go find another job?
9:38 pm
Nef

(Or will the recruiter help you find one?)
9:38 pm
Shirlockc

what choice do i have?
9:38 pm
Nef

Hi Trifi
9:38 pm
Shirlockc

hoping the recruiter has more context and openings
9:39 pm
Trifioso

hello.
9:39 pm
Trifioso

hello.
9:39 pm
Shirlockc

assuming that the recruiter is going to want to work with me
9:39 pm
Trifioso

sounds like you are in a bit of a pickly, shirl
9:39 pm
Trifioso

sorry to hear that!
9:40 pm
Shirlockc

yeah, it's a big -ve surprise to me
9:41 pm
Shirlockc

i'll talk to you guys tomorrow, since i'll be playing again
9:42 pm
Trifioso

I find looking for a job incredibly stressful. I have blanketed the south shore with my resume, and I cant even get an interview
9:42 pm
Nef

You know where to find us, anyway!
9:42 pm

What kind of job are you looking for Trifi?
9:42 pm
Trifioso

9:44 pm
hurshy

hmm, that's worrisome
9:44 pm
Trifioso

no kidding, huh? I he4 of all these places with teacher shortages, and here? I can't even get a foot in
9:44 pm
magazinemom

Like Oklahoma. We are a national embarrassment,
9:45 pm
Nef

I was raised by a schoolteacher; it's darn hard work!
9:46 pm
Nef

and those states don't want to pay living wages to some of the people who mold our future generations!
9:46 pm

Shirl, if you're still here, request a formal exit interview - in writingThey are quite common now. (and cc human resources at the company you were contracted to and the recruiter) you might get some answers.
