One of my bosses called me today to let me know that i am being transfered to another location. Effective SATURDAY. Less than 48 hours notice. I am super pissed off. I go from a month's worth of night shifts to a place that is having lots of issues. So much for my weekend off.... I WILL be calling the union in the morning!!

Looks pretty yummy. I am all about quinoa but always forget about it.

It is healthy; it's one of my favorite replacements for pasta salad. :O)
I wish i knew, exactly, what i am going to do with my chewy girls. (e:Matthew) was kind enough to give me an old aquarium, and although i have heard they aren't that great for rats, i could get a wire cage topper for it and put in shelves and hammocks.
BTW, they are in the hammock in that picture...

You're welcome, (e:Tinypliny); i knew you would appreciate their cuteness. :o)
And yes, that is the hard plastic they chewed through. Honey Hill Pet gave me a used base for the same kind of cage as a temporary solution and (e:Matthew) was kind enough to give us another possible solution for my chewy rats!

New Porch, Please?(e:Paul)'s post, (e:Paul,54773) reminds me that we really need to find a good, reliable but inexpensive contractor/builder/handyman to completely rebuild our front porch.
Anyone know anyone or want the job?

The Girls!(e:Tinypliny), i just snapped a couple of quick shots of the girls back in their cage. Wish they were better, but i was in a wee hurry (i have to go to work very soon and i STILL haven't showered!).
This is Emily, in her hammock, stretching after a long tiring day of escaping and hiding
This is Amelia's squinting look -- the one that tells me, "i don't know about you weird giant furless rat things!"

Oh my!! They are SO cute! I now TOTALLY get why you are distraught that you can't pet them! I would be really torn if I had such cuties and not able to pet them!!!
SO cute! thanks for sharing!!! :-) So many cool pics on your blog in 24 hours!!

As Crazy as that sounds giving that much short notice.... I wonder if it is maybe because the other place needs you.... I mean think of it as you are a good worker so you are being brought in to bring that place up.... I think talking to the union is a good idea just to let them know about this.....
Alright that was (e:Paul) who had my phone yesterday. But yes, this really does sound quite awful. I hope they revert this decision! Good luck!
That sucks.
