Let's do it. Find me a fireman's parade in Massachusetts so I have an excuse to visit.

I would find a very nice Yankees card and give it to you if you can get BNut to do a video with you

If it's confined to the cervix then the prognosis is hopeful as surgery could remove the cancer. There is thoughts that it may have spread but more testing needs to be done.

Puts my issues in check

Hopefully they have the staging wrong.

Sending lots of love your way.

I didn't even have to answer the "what are your greatest strengths and weaknesses" questions.

She's opening a new requisition for the position today and will text the number to me. It'll probably make it through approvals by Monday or Tuesday in which case I can then apply and we'll start talking start dates and salary.

You mentioned the other day that your wife may be a part of this. Is that still a possibility?

Sorry to hear that. Like Josie said, hopefully the stage is incorrect. Prayers coming her way. Hang in there!

That's the worst thing I've read today. I hope she has some kind of support network. Family?

Rangers kicking some Kraken butt tonight 4-0 early in the second period.

Well 4-1 just as I was typing the first message.

My wife already works at Ft. Belvoir under a different contract. I may have mentioned her because our company is upset that we have been losing positions on her contract and it looks like the Sr. Director who is trying to keep me is going to take over her contract too.

fulltritty · 02-10-2023, 09:31 PM

We went to Ledos for dinner with the middle SD and grandchild. When I returned, I applied to that position. I see now why I was told salary wasn't a problem. It's actually one higher grade than my current one. Apparently, it also comes with a sign-on bonus which the Sr. Program Manager didn't mention.

Surprised you didn’t hear all this information sooner, so far every new thing you hear is getting better.
