treeskinSpent yesterday getting caught up on spraying, very exciting. Got a bit more of that to do this morning, then I need to check on a tree by the softball field, and check soil moisture at some flower beds, then I can spend the afternoon watering trees.
Got a nap after work last night, and am stil thinking that maybe I should have skipped my phone date (sorry, honey) and just went to bed at 9 isntead. Felt groggy all through the phone call, and just couldn't get to sleep afterwards. Am blaming my allergies, which are acting up after wading through a big bed of fountain grass spraying weeds yesterday morning. Fun fun fun. Didn't think my at-work motivation could sink much lower than it was yesterday, but...it has.
Still in the waiting period for the greenhouse job. At the moment, that's waiting for my transcript to make it from KSU to the HR office. Donna warned me that KSU can be really slow about that. *sigh* So, if the science department secretary doesn't have it by midmorning Monday, By's offered to run to Manhattan with me and pick it up. If we timed it right, we might even be able to have the thing back to school before the close of business Monday. That'd be nice. There's been no word on other applicants yet...Donna doesn't expect many, she doesn't think the job was advertised outside of campus, and it's only open for a week. So, there's me, and maybe the other horticulturist (who has a snowball's chance of even getting his app looked at), and maybe the gal whoh's teaching herbaceous (and maybe not, Donna said that M's not said anythign about applying thus far).
I know, I'm obsessing. I just want out of here that badly.
Had some guy running around campus yesterday morning looking for something he could name after himself. I was told he had a pile of money to donate, and really wanted a butterfly garden, but was also looking at the upcoming Japanese garden. And he was looking at Donna's flower garden on the south side of the hort center--actually went in and was a bit of a pest asking her about what was in there now, and who decided what went in there, that kind of thing. She was frazzled enough to be honest, so the answer was "whatever is left over from the plant sale, and whatever I have time to get in", so that idea probably got nixed.
Robyn had some good news yesterday. That company she's been submitting designs to was REALLY happy wih one of the most recent sets, and they want her to finish and elaborate the other. *crosses fingers* This falls neatly into Robyn's eventual goal of being a general designer or stylist--she wants to design (and have someone else make) everything from the tableware and ornaments to table linens, the gift boxes, canle holders, the whole shebang. She's been dong just tableware for this company, but got a wild hair with one design set and sent it in with lots of other things besides, and they loved it. Really hope it does well...Robyn could use the boost.
