Waves Sheepishly
... or Naughty Monkily ... something.
I love my new job. I REALLY love my new job. I like the company. I like the people. I like the work. It's really nice.
The new schedule is eating into my online time like you wouldn't believe. Or maybe you would because you can see how much I haven't been around lately.
The kids only have a couple more weeks until they head back to school. So I'm hoping that things will settle down, but past experience being the best predictor of future behavior suggests that my hope is misplaced.
Anyway, I'm showing up tonight blatantly in hope of getting something from you. A donation. Not a big one. Really. Just $5 to fight breast cancer. Our workplace cheerleader announced this afternoon that we will be forming a team for "DenimDay" which is October 3. Our team is encouraging people to donate $5. We want to get 100 people signed up and donating to fight breast cancer with a team goal of $500 raised. Now, if you check out the link I'll be posting here in a few more lines, you'll notice that SOME of the people on the list have obviously donated more than $5 because the fundraiser was announced this afternoon and by the time I left work we already had $300 in our team account. (And if we meet our goal, the CEO has given permission for the cast of thousands to all wear denim to work that day - ordinarily a BIG no no. I don't care about the jeans, I just want to see us raising money to fight breast cancer.)
Please think about it, click the link and donate at least $5.

So it looks like the money goes to research. The site said something about being involved in the development of Herceptin, the drug I had with chemotherapy last winter. Hopefully, that will lead to a clear mammogram this year instead of another ride on the merry-go-round. Off to donate...
Naughty Monkily .... I like that.
already gave at our local relay for life.
glad you like your job
It makes me happy to hear you're so happy with your new job!
Having a job you LIKE is hard to come by these days (actually MOST days). You are very fortunate, and I am pleased as anything FOR you!
I've been saving up something for my favorite naughty monkey.
