One Little Monkey

Our cover is blown: Olivia figured out how to climb out of her crib. One minute wails of indignity at being locked up, the next minute giggles as she then chatters happily down the hall to greet us in the living room.

We have all been under the weather this week, not the flu but not well either. Aaron worked from home today but didn't get much rest. Olivia was up early and in busy bee mode, unlike her parents who were craving a few more hours of sleep.

Mid-day Aaron had a conference call while I was in the bathroom. Olivia opened the bathroom door, darted in, stole the last bit of toilet paper on the roll as I sat captive on the bowl and gleefully ran out again with the paper streaming behind her. Of course Aaron couldn't rescue me as he was still on a conference call and unaware of the little monkey's reconnaissance mission. No kleenex on top of the toilet as there usually is. I had a lot of time to contemplate my situation.

The job front this week showed the same malaise as our immunity systems. I sent 3 inquiries to the last organization I interviewed at just to try to get some sort of response back from them. Nothing. I figured the job has been filled but I didn't even get a rejection e-mail after interviewing with 3 people! Aaron still hasn't been paid his expenses from 2 months ago and got turned down for a few other jobs he'd applied for. Which begs the no-win question "Is it better to get rejection letters or no response at all?"
