I've cleaned our floors, washed the car, and laundered the winter jackets. Short of sacrificing a virgin, I don't know of other strategies to help bring on some precipitation, so now we wait.
I'm enjoying this taste of spring break, which will come to an end for me Thursday as I'm scheduled to work a shift at the testing center. One of my more dedicated tutees still wants to meet online this afternoon, while the rest of the bunch has opted for the week off. I'm not complaining about the light schedule.
I'm assuming the testing center will be quieter than usual with the students out this week. As such, maybe I'll get a chance to have that talk with Boss about my future employment there.
My testing schedule now is pretty sparse and inflexible. When Buzz transferred over from a different campus and then Kitty returned from family leave, I took that opportunity to increase my tutoring and decrease the testing. Once the tutoring schedule is set, it's set for the semester.
Now after Star has moved on to a better place, Boss is feeling the void she left. Let's just say that neither Buzz nor Kitty are the most robust of workers. That, along with Blossom's frequent absences, leaves Boss overworked and stressed.
He'd be justified in hiring another part-timer, but with me and my skimpy schedule, can he offer someone else enough hours to make it worth their while? We've had others with skimpy schedules before, again, because of outside obligations. So, I'm pretty sure he'll continue with me if I want to, but I don't want to if it's more of a hindrance than a help, y'know?
Then there's Thor.
As of now, I'm the only amensui... emenuens... amensui... scribe on tap for his (lengthy, exhausting...) exams. As much as I'm opposed to there not being a plan B and other easily available scribes, if I jump ship before the semester's end, that would leave Thor and the disability support team scrambling to get someone else. Doable, but unsavory.
Oh well, just ruminating
Meanwhile, doesn't look like there'll be any rain today.

Hope you get the rain that you need. Hours are a weird thing with companies. On job I had was all over the place for the part-timers. One week they could get close to full-time and the next 23.5 - it was always a mess. Instead of just hire strong full time folks, they messed around with nonsense and games. Sooo stoooopid.
Happy Whisk, "nonsense and games" - ack, that's another of my qualms about hanging around. Ready to be done with it.
I'm spring cleaning too! Was about to wash winter coats wen the temps dropped again---our springtime roller coaster---so they have to wait a bit.
I am almost spring cleaning - lol. Hope you get rain. I also hope you get the hours fixed at your job!
Good luck sacrificing a virgin...may have to be one of the red haired orphans...We have so much rain, it is just not fair is it? I see your hesitancy re: quitting the center...times are rough. But, you know, a gal's gotta do what she must do .
I usually do not spring clean until the sun is in the sky for at least a week- I guess I am off the hook for another couple of months.
I 100% understand that feeling. That was me too. I just don't get the games and bs part of things.
Must be hard to even find a Virgin these days, let alone sacrifice one. *winks* You have been busy tho'. I have begun a Spring Cleanse and oddly, the Desert is getting Rain... so, we must be getting yours perhaps?
