Week End

Well, yesterday was my third day at the new job.  It was the best day of the three that I worked this week.  I am still not feeling comfortable, but I guess that’s expected.   The Dean of the department started this department 20 years ago.  Her second in charge has been there going on 18 years.  Three others have been there four years and there is one gentleman in the department that started four months ago.  There are also many student interns, who are all very nice.   They all are international students, since I am in the International department of the college.

The benefits to my new job are wonderful.  One of the benefits…they have a new athletic center.  Very nice.  Free membership for staff and spouses.  I am going to take Bogey over there today to tour the center.  He goes regularly to a Jewish Community Center.  So if he likes this athletic center he can drop his membership and save us $60 bucks a month.  Yeahh!

On a down note.  My male dog has something wrong with him.  Not sure yet what the problem is.  We have an appointment at the Vet today at 11:00.  My non-medical opinion is…he might have a hernia.  Do dogs get hernias?  Of course,  I am a little LOT worried about him.  I wish I could react a little more normally when my dogs are sick or hurt.  I try, but that nagging worry monster comes sneaking back into my thots.  He seems fine otherwise, he is just moving slowly up the stairs and has trouble jumping on the bed, couch and ottoman.

I will let you know the results of his visit in my next post.  That’s about it.  Today we are also going to a Civil War show and hopefully out to lunch.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!
