This Weeks Theme is Window

You want windows? I’ve got windows for you, plenty of them!

I took this photo in downtown Chicago when we went there for a visit in August. This photo didn’t make the cut for my photoblog but it’s perfect for this scavenger theme.

I would not want to have a job washing this buildings windows. You’d just finally get finished and you’d have to start all over again. Plus I’m afraid of heights so I don’t think I’d ever end up with a job as a window washer anyway.

Have a great Saturday!

Updated November 9th, 7:48 pm: Thank you for all of your comments. I really didn’t think any of you would want to wash this buildings windows! LOL I loved the creative ideas that you came up with to wash the window though like a fire hydrant filled with windex! Silly people. It would have been interesting if someone that does wash windows for a living had commented. I know it’s probably a lot easier to do this job now than it was 30 or 50 years ago, but it’s still a dangerous job. Even more dangerous in places like India or Asia where they make bamboo structures that the washers climb without ropes to clean the windows. Now that’s dangerous.

That last paragraph added for PPP ’cause this post was too short? I don’t get it.





Wish my husband luck!

by

My husband Chris hasn’t been getting very many shifts lately. He works as a porter at the same hospital that I work at, but his job is only part time. He used to get a lot of shifts at least four a week, sometimes six or seven. Lately he’s only been averaging two shifts a week.

We could handle his fluctuating shifts when I was working, but now that I’ve been off sick for so long and have no income of my own coming in, we are really feeling his lack of shifts. So he’s been applying to a lot of hospitals in the area for portering or other similar positions, and he’s also been keeping an eye on the job boards at work.

He recently found two jobs worth applying for at work – one is an OR attendant and the other is an Ultrasound Attendant. Both jobs will have a lot of shifts and a better possibility of the positions becoming full time. Did I tell you that it can be very hard to get a full time position in the hospital? (unless you are a nurse like me of course).

He has an interview for the OR attendant position next Wednesday and hopefully he’ll be called for an interview for the Ultrasound position too. So wish him luck!

If he has to change jobs I hope that he can get a better one at the hospital that we both currently work in. It’s so convenient. We only live a few blocks from the hospital so we can walk to work. It’s wonderful.

Dr. Clevens

by

I was wondering if anyone has heard of, or had any work done by a Dr. Clevens?

I used to work for a plastic surgeon and one of my friends that still works in cosmetic surgery was telling me about Clevens Cosmetic surgery in Melbourne, Florida. One of her friends is working for the doctor and says that the clinic specializes in facial plastic surgery. I was looking at some of the before and after photos and it looks like Dr. Clevens does very good work.

The reason why I was wondering is because my husbands cousin was born with a cleft palate and hair lip and she’s had extensive reconstructive surgery in the past. She’s looking around to get her final surgery done.
