Today it dumped, and dumped and dumped some more...never ending rain all day
Last time I checked, the rain gauge said 3 inches and the storm, now named 'Tropical Storm Olga', is supposed to bring 3-4 more inches tomorrow! It's nice to have rain with no other big threat...

I have 3 rabbits to sell tomorrow, and 1 on Sunday. I'm trying to decide if I should keep one of the Lionhead babies or not. I'm in love with the black Charlie, I named her (Cookie) today and now I feel like I shouldn't have done that...

Got some (potentially) great news today!! I got an email from a vet clinic regarding a job opening I applied for. They want to do a phone interview, hopefully tomorrow
The job is a vet assistant/kennel tech position. It's pretty far from home (almost 70 miles) but i'd be happy to take it if it seems like a good fit!

I went to TSC today and got my dog a chicken foot...she loves it! Definitely her new favorite chew.
She ate it the whole thing in less than 30 minutes!
Here she is, loving that chicken foot!

Sure looks like the chicken foot was/is a success!!.......ya do know ya can make chicken foot soup, don't ya?........good news about the job, but 70miles one way is a bit of a drive, especially in bad weather....but I understand it, I drove 50-60 at one time, so it can be done, but when time changes it will be dark by the time ya get home....hope it is a Great place to work!!....it will make the drive not seem so long........be careful out and about in the rain with your little sweeties...

That is a bit far to drive for a job. Don't let desperation drive you into another situation, this one being distance. I used to drive 78 miles one way to work in Houston, traffic was ……….well, it was traffic. I was raised in Houston, learned to drive there and have nerves of steel. It's hard for stupid drivers to rattle my cage. LOL

If at all possible, keep looking closer to home. Even checking groceries would be better that a 70 mile drive...….but you do live on the butt end of nowhere.….maybe there isn't a grocery store nearby. Haunt TSC, make sure the manager knows how bad you want a FULL TIME job there!

Miss @AmberLops,

I do hope you can find a job closer. I know when it gets rough at work to the point of wanting to pull your hair out (or worse, commit murder ) that any relief would be welcome. The sad part is that the new place may be as bad as your current place. Here is a post from Greybeard to Rammy, who was having trouble with her boss instead of her coworkers, but I think it might fit:

You are a smart young lady, so I'm sure you will figure it out. If not, let me know and I will come and have a talking to your coworkers.

I can only imagine how bad the traffic is in Houston! I've only been to Nashville twice now but the traffic there is horrendous!
The only grocery store in town is a tiny one and it's known for it's terrible workers. I go in there maybe once a week to get a few things and I know I couldn't handle working around those people. Even their yelp reviews are awful
I did hand out my resume to a few shops in town. But my landlord says they probably won't consider me since i'm not 'local'.
I got an alert from Indeed today that the other TSC near me is hiring...it's part-time but i'd take it!
The 2 TSC's near me are both 20 miles from my house, in opposite directions

I'd love to see you come in and have it out with my coworkers ha ha!
Thank you for the link. And I understand that it could be just as bad or worse. I can deal with one or two nasty people in a workplace, and the drama that comes with it...but I can't stand being the person that everyone is teaming up against...and now it's all of my coworkers. The 2 girls that i thought were 'okay' decided to team up with all the other 'witches'

I did get a call today from the vet clinic today, and i have an in-person interview on Tuesday!

Now more about this weather! Got about 3 more inches of rain today from tropical storm Olga.
It dumped all morning, then slowed down a bit but the wind was unreal! 75mph gusts came through, took out some power lines and trees. The roof on a section of my rabbit hutches was torn off and the yard is covered in branches and leaves. Driving home from work the wind was moving my car off the road. Never driven in wind that strong I saw that in Nashville thousands of people have no power from the wind. My power went out for about an hour today but that's not too bad.
Temperature today was 79 and it was actually nice outside, minus the rain
Now the skies are clear, the storm moved out quickly tonight. No more rain in the forecast until Thursday. Hope everyone stayed safe in the storm!

Goodnight everyone

Congratulations about the interview! I'm glad you are home safe from the weather and I hope it calms down a bit.
