In a bind

September 10th, 2008 at 04:46 am

A friend asked me to fill out a reference for her. I wasn't able to think of a good reason to say no right then, so now am in a bit of a bind as to the best way to fill it out.

I've never said one word to her about what I think of her skills in this area, mainly because I didn't think it was my place or my business. Now I guess I'm going to have to put it out there.

Sat night I went to the Beach Boy's concert with my mom. We had a BLAST! The crowd had an amazing amount of energy. We got them to come back out and do 3 encores! Big Grin The venue for the concert was a bit strange - in the same hall where the Dallas Symphony Orchestra plays (they actually accompanied the Beach Boy's). I wasn't accustomed to seeing so many Hawaiian shirts at a DSO concert. Smile

I'm almost up to $70 with ChaCha. My goal is to reach $100 by the 14th, so I can get paid on the 15th. I think I'll be able to do it, even though it won't be a full month.

I have another 5k coming up this Sunday. My mom and stepdad will be coming to cheer me on. Big Grin

I've found at least one race in Oct Nov and Dec that is on a Sunday - so that works well for me.

I've decided to drop my membership to the Outdoors club. There just wasn't enough things I was interested or able to do to make the monthly fee worthwhile.

Between my meetup groups and my races, I'm really keeping myself pretty busy anyway.

I got an email from my dad tonight. He was saying that he is near the Texas/NM border and will be crossing into NM in the morning. Getting closer to CA!

He must be quite the sight to see. A huge Penske truck, then a car trailer w/his vehicle on it, then his little trailer. The little trailer my family purchased back in the early 1980's (around the time my brother was born!) It's gone many many miles through numerous states.

    that could be awkward if you don't have strong feelings about her work skills. i guess you could just keep it real general, like "she's a hard worker or "is conscientious" or stuff like that.

    i've been fortunate in the past; there were 2 occasions where i was leaving a job and asked my manager for a written recommendation. Becus i work as a writer, they both asked me to write what i wanted (!) type it up and they would sign it. so of course, i got a sterling recommendation!!
