Time Flies





I have already skipped another day... wow - how time does fly.

Yesterday I went for my job interview for a call center position and I got the job. I start on Monday. It is going to be different from the type of work I am used to.... I will be giving technical support to people that have problems with their Satellite television. Becky has been working there for four years now (is it four or six?) and she has done well. She likes to say that she never would have been able to buy a house without this job.
So.... I am going to give it a shot. I'm not sure yet how I will like it. I know I will love the work itself, but it is a very "structured" environment (re: scheduled breaks, performance monitoring etc.) and quite honestly I don't do well being so closely watched. I haven't been exposed to this type of work environment in many years... mostly my previous work experience has been very independent, where I'm essentially on my own, doing my own thing, and doing the work how I want to do it. It'll be very hard to break myself of this... I am quite sure. But.... I start immediately and that is my goal right now. I also got a few great callbacks yesterday and today for interviews which I will be checking into. One of them I'm really excited about, a Sales Support Position at a local newspaper! A very good company to get into.

After my day of interviewing and computerized testing, Becky and I ditched the children and went out and did some driving on the back, dirt, mountain roads that surround us. We had a great time just talking, tuning out and looking at the scenery. We also checked out a little country graveyard (which seem to be scattered everywhere around these mountains). The stones had some very very old born / death dates. I totally Love to look at the stones and situations of the people that have past.

Speaking of people past... Monday night I caught a picture of a ghost in her daughters room, while snapping shots with my phone of the decorating Sam and Val have been doing to their "shared" bedroom. My Thirteen Thursday tomorrow will tell much more about the ghostly image.... so stay tuned!

This morning I woke up sick as a dog. My throat is all inflamed, I have that yuck feeling in the back of my throat and absolutely no energy whatsoever. I feel like I just had this same exact thing a few weeks ago... Didn't I? I guess it's running rampant through the house - we all have had some form of something or other over the past few weeks. I can't wait for the warm weather so we can open the windows!!!!

Name: mom

I really hope you'll be feeling better soon.
Great about the job. I know you can do it even with the restrictions that you're not used to.
I love looking at old grave stones.
Waiting to see the ghost.
