I'm on the semi-slob scale

Posted By: Kaydie on 2008-08-30
In Reply to: How much of a germaphobe are you? - Rate Yourself.

I guess I would rate my self as a 2. I have cleaning supplies. In the past I have tried a lot but found a couple that I like. Mostly because of the way they make the house smell. The only time I use hand sanitizer is after I've picked up a package of chicken at the grocery store (a lot of times the juice leaks out). I do find myself washing my hands after I come home from the grocery store, but only when my husband reminds me. Otherwise I would probably let it go and even eat something before washing my hands. The only thing I do that would constitue as a phobia is if I have to use the restroom I will line the toilet seat with tissue if they don't have any of those sanitary toilet seat covers and 2 I use my foot to flush the toilet. I never touch the flusher with my hand.

I'm such a slob
Sleepwear. Don't know what kind of material it is but it is soft. Winter I have a flannel/sweats, summer light wear sleep wear. Shower once every 2-3 days, don't wash hair very often (looks like a rats nest, but I only wash it when its dirty). I got a perm at Christmas thinking I could get up and wet it and I would always look decent. I've tried about 20 different hair products, still looks like a rats nest. The last time I wore makeup was about 7 months ago when I had dinner with a friend. Before that was about a year before that. But I'm sitting here 12 hours plus - soft warm fuzzy stretchy clothes are for me.
I worked that scale in the past too.
Some companies actually still do it. Seems like the Lanier programs are set for this.

Production counts can be based on characters, words, lines, or pages and the system supports difficulty factors by doctor and/or report type. More difficult production work would be weighted depending on transcription difficulty. Now I think they just give you so called "salary comensurate with experience". Yeah right.
Where on the scale of conditions would a guarded
condition be?
Went semi-green with car purchase
We traded in my minivan (which was getting about 16 mpg) for a slightly used Yaris. They get 40 mpg and my car payment will drop significantly. They rate very well with Consumer Reports for reliability, etc. My sister has one and only has to fill the tank once every 2 months.

Back when we got the van we had plenty of money and the economy was fine. These days, with work changes and gas prices, it should be a big help to be out from under that expense. Plus I have a nearly new car (5,000 miles). It is silver mica color, the sedan model. The little 2-door hatchbacks are adorable, but you can't find them anywhere for some reason.
Its a semi-cooking night for me
First I have to say I love ham and beans. One of my favorite winter food.

Tonight DH said he would like to snack - hooray! so its chili dip for us. Sooo easy -

I can of chile (any kind you like - we always use no beans) and one 8 ounce package of cream cheese. Heat together til cream cheese is melted.

mmmmmmmmmmm - I can eat the whole thing alone.
Pugmom! 12 on a pain scale? Go to the ER now, please. Let us know how you are as soon as you can pos

Or when standing at the scale, say, "After you!"

Retirement and info on MTs who are semi-retired
Ok, fellow workers, MTs has answered questions in the past for me. I am almost 64 and would like to be a part-time employee and get my social security; however it is of concern to me about how much a person can make a month and how many hours you are allowed to work. I hear money is taken from your SS check if you make over so much a month. I would get now $1500 plus a month from SS but I enjoy working and even work some overtime so just concerns. Anyone out there with any thoughts about this, sure would enjoy hearing from you. TIA
Vegas baby! But no theme, just semi-traditional nm
