The internet's telling me that it's raining off and on in my location. The internet's wrong.
Looks hot and sunny to me. Ask my weather watchers
Actually, I don't think these two give a hoot about the weather, they're just being nosey regarding the neighbors. Karen patrol.
Somebody's gotta do it.
And actually, these pics aren't very current because currently we're housing Chaco's dog along with our menagerie.
Chaco's dog and our cat are not a good mix, so are kept separated. The cat is not pleased, but Ella the pooch seems all too enthusiastic about the substitution.
So yeah, as shown, exciting times around here.
Pooch Penny is absent from window patrol as she doesn't give a hoot about any of it.
This was actually quite a busy week for me in addition to the pet duties. At the college, we're gearing up for the start of the fall semester. Our newest coworker, Sangria, is pleasant to work with but a bit slow on getting up to line speed. My usual schedule has been shifted while training her, but starting this coming week, I'm happily going back to my previous, more preferred, schedule. Sangria's out of training camp whether she likes it or not.
I've got a couple of nice, personable high schoolers I've been tutoring over the summer. School starts for them next week, so that will create more schedule shifting for me. In the meantime, word got out, teasingly, at the college that I'm a "weirdo who likes math".
This lead to recruitment of me into the college supported tutoring department, so now I have two part-time college jobs, each in separate departments, for HR to deal with. It's state funded, so pay remains skimpy, but I do enjoy it well enough. It is nice to have two income streams from one location - trickling streams though they be.

Linking up with Mama Kat for the prompt:

I enjoy looking out the window, so maybe I too am on Karen patrol :) I loved working from home and my work computer faced the front window so I got a view of everything going in the neighborhood :)
Good for being known as one who likes math :) That can get you far with tutoring I am sure. Hope Sangria can pull her weight, so to speak, and speed things up with her work duties! Wishing all a successful fall semester at your institution of learning :)
betty
a small army to watch out for you- until the folks that they are protecting you from actually come through the door right?
Your work sounds just OK. Math weirdo!
Betty, I've definitely noticed the (negative) effects of the COVID lockdown on math skills. I feel bad for these kids who were/are in high school for it.
Linda Sue, the dogs certainly let us know when something's not right on the street: "OMG, neighbors are checking their mail! The audacity!!"
Yes you have to be pretty weird to like maths. ;)
It must be just as weird to be named after a drink. Sangria sounds better than Tequila or Cider I suppose.
LL Cool Joe, I do like math. It's so honest 😊
In this case, Sangria is a made up blog name. But I have known a few Margaritas...
I love your "karen" patrol!!
So you're that weirdo who likes math. I am seriously a happy woman because my dear friends are all good in math. I am not. Then again, I'm not good at anything so there's that. LOL
Sounds like you could use a couple more trickling streams.
I don't know about you, but I'll sure be glad when the cooler weather sets in. Here in Georgia, this is around November 1...
