As my friend Stacy said on her blog and my husband Mike says ALL THE TIME...it is Africa Hot!! I read somewhere that the sun has been very 'dormant" this year...uh, calling bullshit on that one!! To me, dormant implies cooler somehow. We have broken records all week so far in Houston with temps over 100 degrees. Now while I know we are not the only ones who are hot, we have also had the added pleasure of ZERO RAINFALL. Everything is withering, the pretty green grass we had in late April and early May is now turning brown. We have our annual vacation planned to the Frio for August 1-8...but we are rethinking that one. They said the river has ZERO flow right now. It is spring fed, and the springs are low...low...low.
OK...maybe not THAT low...but too low to float.
On a lighter note...I had to take a "Psycho Metric" examination yesterday for a job interview. I am not going to name the company, but suffice it to say that was the biggest bunch of BS I have ever had to go through in my career. First of all, they said the test was supposed to take anywhere from 3.5 to 4 hours...excuse me, I'm sorry, WHAT did you just say??? Yes, 4 hours. There is a timed abstract portion, a timed verbal (which isn't really verbal, as it is all written), a timed mathematical, and then a "personality assessment"!! All of this is done, BEFORE you actually ever sit down face to face and talk to someone. Seriously, they weed out people based on how they do on this RIDICULOUS test. I didn't even finish the math part, and it sure did not take me 4 hours...took me 2 hours. The timed portion of the exams only added up to one hour, so that means they expected it to take me 2 hours to finish their personality assessment...PUH HUH HUH LEEZE...
Other than that, the only other thing going on is baseball (of course). Jackson has State this weekend...actually it starts at 3 pm Friday afternoon. Apparently people in LaPorte don't work on Fridays. I feel a "personal day" coming on!!!
Preach on, sister! DORMANT my @$$.
