Okay, so the last time we chatted...
I told you that we were contemplating a move to Phoenix, AZ. Well, I think Phoenix is out...but Columbus, OH is back as the forerunner for the new Francis Family Homefront.

We're still arguing about my working part-time vs. working full-time and supporting him. I'm standing firm. I will work part-time, but I am not going to move out of my paid-for home to live in an apartment, pay rent and support him. we're moving because HE can't find a permanant job here. He keep going on and on about how he hates that he can't support his family, but then he says that unless I work full-time too, we won't survive. Pick one, buddy!

Okay, enough about that. If anything new and worth mentioning develops, I'll let you know.

News from the writing front
So far, I'm holding my own with the April Fools challenge. Sure, I'm behind a bit, but I am gaining ground. Hopefully, I can get ahead on Wednesday and Thrusday when I don't have the pesky "day job" looming over my head. Speaking of the "day job", our call volumn has increased and we are swamped with calls. Why our superiors thought it would be a good idea to accept new work from a company that is letting us go is beyond me. We don't have the staff to take the extra calls, our metrics are in the dumpster (metrics are the goals that the project is supposed to meet daily...so far we have yet to meet one daily metric this month...the first time this has happened EVER), morale is beyond low, and all we hear is, "we have to keep a brave face on and be professional to the end".

Yeah, bite me.

Anyway, that's it. I'll check in later. Enjoy your week!
