Pulled Pork & A General Update

I've got a pork shoulder cooking in the crock pot right now, destined to become a few day's worth of pulled pork. I haven't made any in awhile, and it's different each time I make it (although I have a particular way I LIKE to make it, if I can.) With these unusually cool nights and windy days, it will be a delicious change in table fare for us. And if it comes out well, I'd be glad to share, if anyone would like some. :)

Monica is at work late tonight, because she switched shifts with a co-worker in order to go with Kate to the doctor to see if they were having a girl or a boy this time. I was right again; it's a girl. I'm batting a thousand on the predictions so far! *g*

I've been off for the past 3 days, but they've hardly been inactive. Yesterday, for example, we spent the day driving to the doctor's office, and then to the hospital. And then we spent about 6 hours there, which was fun. It was worth Monica's peace of mind though, so it's all good.

Now I'm about to start a run of opening shifts at work, tomorrow (Wednesday) through Saturday. I received a call from one of MY co-workers earlier this evening, and he informed me that a job we took in on Monday (that I knew about, and knew it was going to be a PITA) was giving them problems, and that it was being just that, a PITA. He was apparently busy this evening, something which is kind of rare, but he had spent a couple hours trying to get that job out, but he had to leave it to get a "big" job finished for tonight. So I know what I'M going to be doing tomorrow...trying to finish off the PITA job. We may end up having to call the customer and say that the job can't be finished, because too much of his paper stock is going to be damaged in the process; something which is happening from what I've heard. I didn't really want to take the job in the first place, because I knew it was going to be difficult, if not impossible, but I hate to disappoint a customer so we took it, and I quoted him a lower price than what Kinko's was going to charge him. The sad thing is, he may have to take the job BACK to Kinko's if our machines don't cooperate tomorrow. They just don't like printing on small pages! At any rate, the customer is aware of the situation, more or less, so hopefully he won't take it TOO badly if I have to tell him we can't finish the job. *fingers crossed*

I guess that's about it for now. I have yet ANOTHER new blog that I've started, but this one is different (and special.) You'll be hearing more about it soon, if you haven't found it already! ;)

Take care everyone, and enjoy the rest of your week. Peace.
