Bored...
*sigh*
I'm extremely bored. I've been here for almost 6 months now, and I'm officially tired of crappy daytime tv. It's been 2 weeks since I got hired for my new job, but I just got my background check report in the mail today. I emailed the HR department to find out if they had a start date for the job yet. Nope. They're still waiting for background checks from everyone, and I think they have 3 or 4 new people starting and they'll want to train them all at the same time. So I wait.
My parents are coming to visit, and they'll be here in a couple days. One thing that sucks is that hotels and B&B's here are so expensive. It is okay if you're travelling alone, but they always charge per person. So even the cheap ones that advertise as (the equivalent of) $40 per night will really cost $80 for both of my parents. So they'll be staying with us.
My mom and dad will be staying in the bed that was making my butt go numb for the first few weeks that I lived here. Since I couldn't do that to my parents' asses, the husband and I went to Ikea last night and picked up 2 small foam mattresses to go on top of the old crappy mattress. They are childrens' mattresses, so the two of them together are the width of the double mattress, but they are about 15 inches too short. We're trying to fill the gap with old comforters and pillows and stuff.
I guess I should go figure out what dinner is going to be. I'm in the mood for yorkshire pudding, but I don't have any eggs and I don't feel like going to the store.
