Son has interviews coming in the next week for internships already. Think I didn’t interview for any until like February. Have they gotten earlier and earlier?

Yup. At least half of internships for the following summer are filled in the fall in my experience.

Beloit is getting an Amazon warehouse. That means I will get my packages within 2 weeks instead of 3.
Obligatory:

Career fair is this week - I was doing interviews at this point and that's 10 years ago. Our internship applications close around Thanksgiving and I know the same is true of our competitors. Done out of necessity so that IT has at least six months to get a computer ready for them and still not get it to them until the second week of a 12 week internship.

IT folks monitoring my internet posts, I kid. Mostly.

@cyrevkah @CycloneErik I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble Z is having. I hope your meeting is productive.

Poor sweetie :(

She worked it through better than ever before, so our stuff is working.

She challenged me to a race up to the building again today. She got confused at the end. The winner was supposed to yell "Home Run," because of a game on my phone, but when she pulled in to finish her win, three girls were yelling her name and running to greet her.

So I told her to have a home run day, and they all bounced in together.

Everything is less fragile than it used to be, with all the factors we've eliminated, but it's frightening to see how fragile a situation it can still be.

So sweet! While it sounds like still some work to do, the good thing is children are fairly resilient and she has two wonderful, caring parents in her corner fighting for her.

Yesterday some guy went off in a Chik Fil A in Lincoln. Drove his Ram pickup into the place and ended up shot by a uniformed special agent that happened to be in the drive thru line.

Dogs are back to normal. Looks like the biggest issue was the 1.5" X 1.5" piece of hoof that Emma some how swallowed, couldnt pass, then puked back up. Assuming they both had something that didnt agree with them while at the farm. Probably didnt need to go to the vet, but better safe tham sorry.

Good (bad?) news is they love the fancy new (expensive) dog food. Going to get them fattened before this weekend.

Keep an eye on stuff like that. My parents dog had to have surgery about 6 weeks ago due to something like that. They'd had a purple ball that was tearing apart and my parents through away in April. The one dog through up a piece of it in may. Switch to July and the dog is now no longer eating, no energy, losing weight, can't keep anything down. Nothing showed up on x-ray. Best they could tell was some sort of blockage but they couldn't be sure. Parents were convinced they were going to have to put her down (they were convinced it was cancer again, which would be the 3rd dog in around 10 yrs). They went in and did the surgery to see what they could find and the vet found a piece (about the size of a key fob) of that same ball lodged in her intestine. 6 weeks later and the dog is back to her normal self (and probably still hates me).
