I am so back in the game. After quitting my last job ( i swear I will never do that dumb thing again) because it was making me sick, I found a job that is 5 mins from my house (but I will miss riding the ferry everyday). No more traveling almost 4 hours a day to and from work. It is for the same amount of money.
so know we can still take our yearly canoing trip up in the Daks on the Island!!


ps, this is a temp to perm so i will need to really shine!

I GOT ME SOME VERY HAPPY FEET!

no longer in purchasing which is fine by me.
I am now in accouting. yes the one that has to count on her fingers and toes. WK I remeber all that you said about accounting and thought that this would be a good move for me. with accounting I can move around more. purchasing i was not able to grow.

the only down side is I will be home way before tree so this means i will have to cook dinner.


tree, you better bring home a case of tums!!
it is almost 7:00 am and I still do not have to be at work for another two hours. yup i can get used to this!!

well i learned something today.

making a good first impression is important!


it seems that when i went to lunch today, the owner of the company called the temp agency and told them that they really like me.

they like me, they really like me!!
so that was pretty cool.

but if i have a good job i like, what else can i b^tch about?

maybe a pap smear?

LOL

well the interview went great. got a call from them just now and if my references and driver lic checks out the job is mine.

i would be driving in my own truck picking up unwanted aniamls. then i will go for training for animal control and get to give people tickets for being dumb.
then get training for a peace officer.

no money to be made :(

but it is what i really want and i guess i will have to get a second job to just make ends meet.

Good deal Mapes. Sometimes the money isn't the most important thing. Glad you get to do something you've wanted to for so long.
