Scene 3:
After her victory in the kitchen counter battle and her areal assault over the ant home base, our heroine was feeling pretty confident she was winning the war.
She tranquilly opens the dishwasher door to begin loading her family's supper dishes.
CUE PSYCHO MUSIC
ZOOM in on the thousands of ants, turning the white insides of her dishwasher a dark shade of brown.
Our heroine grabs the bottle of Simple Green and begin spraying madly as the ants race for cover. She takes out most of the army and then launches her final attack.
Closing the dishwasher door the ants have no idea of their pending doom. Our heroine pushes the buttons and the hot sprays begin, washing the remaining ants to their death.
I have no idea how the interview went. If nothing else comes of it, at least it made me buy these pretty shoes! (Yes there are a black pair hiding underneath as well! Payless has those great deals!) I'm thinking of them as my ruby slippers, and hopefully I clicked my heals enough times before I went into that interview! "There's no place like working near home...there's no place like working near home..."
I had scheduled an appointment, but the manager of the new hotel was hosting two days of open call type interviews. I was somewhere around candidate 50. I know I'm more than qualified, but with so many in the playing field, I'm worried. My hair is gray and thinning. I'm overweight. I don't have a hotel management degree.
On the positive, I did point out the advantages of my age- maturity, patience, flexibility, experience, the ability to work with minimal supervision. I also threw in there I live close enough to walk to the hotel. I'm going to write a great thank you letter follow up and hope for the best. Its in God's hands.
The ants have invaded. Every summer they usually do look for water in the bathrooms, but this year they were in the kitchen!! Outside, I used up the last of the "black market" Diazon right on any ant nest I could find. (My dad still had some of the banned, good stuff.) Inside I discovered Simple Green kills ants!!
I love Simple Green! Its a better alternative to toxic cleaners. I buy a gallon jug at the hardware store for about $10. Its mega concentrated so it lasts me over a year. I started spraying the ants just to wipe them up and discovered the ones I didn't wipe up quickly had died. So I sprayed a line of Simple Green around the perimeter of our kitchen and this morning I noticed the swarm was down to a few stragglers. I know this was just the first battle though. The war's not won yet.
I have to vow to stop reading and listening to news! It just depresses me. Stock Market plunge, oil prices surge, gas may go to $7 a gallon... This morning I found myself wondering, will we be a 3rd world country soon? Or will the government step in and before you know it, we're headed towards... I don't know...Communism? That system of government historical has failed as well. I think the answer is we're not prepared to play on the global playground.
I realize I can't let all this garbage worry me. I have to focus on what's in front of me right now on my little plate.
I'm going to focus on taking better care of myself today, drinking lots of water, getting back on my Wii, and taking time to play with my boys. Its Friday Fun Day/Night after all! Maybe we'll go for a swim too.
Hope you have a great Friday Fun day too and a great weekend! Peace!
