...right??

The new job is going better...it helps that I work with some of the nicest people around... :) I have adjusted ok to the 'dress code'...hehe...I wear jeans, but usually with stilettos and LOTS of bangle jewelry...

I started thinking about something and wondered if anyone else has had this experience as well...if so, please share.

While job searching, I had several interviews where I never heard ANYTHING back...obviously I didn't et the jobs, but even a "Hey, sorry we thought you really sucked and we went with someone else" phone call would be nice...am I wrong?? I think if you take the time to go in and interview with a company they should at least have the courtesy and respect to let you know, even if they didn't pick you...right?

...lucky...lucky...lucky...

Not sure how many of you caught the Chargers-Patriots game on Sunday...but if you did you would have to agree that the Pats are LUCKY...they really should have lost that game...BUT, then you get down in the 4th quarter, behind in the score and you got Ice Man on your team so I shouldn't have worried...but I did, and Nathan didn't think they could pull it out... but I had faith in my guys and they did it...now it is on to the Colts this Sunday...this could be interesting...seeing as how the only points the Colts scored in their game on Sunday came from their kicker Adam V...who used to play for the Pats...that could make for some fun game chemistry on Sunday...

The new job is going ok, it is always a bit of an adjustment when you start something new...and I am ok. I cried earlier this week...I just felt so useless...I used to have a job where I was important, I planned big events, did financial stuff....HUNDREDS of people knew who I was...now I am just the 'Front Desk'....I feel like I got demoted :(

I am excited about a new gadget I recently acquired...it is the COOLEST candle warmer...it is a little lamp and it heats from the top...so you don't have to wait for the entire candle to melt before you get the fragrance...you get it within minutes! Here is a picture of it:
It is amazing what a little emotional shopping can do for your moods.

New Job!

So I have a NEW job!!
WoooHooo! I will be the front desk person for a local construction company. They have been around since 1935 and are active in the community - they donated a bunch to the ABC Extreme Home Makeover house they did here in October. It is not too glamorous, but it pays well...which will heal the financial ulcer I have acquired. :)

My first day is Monday...8am...I'll let you know how it goes!

The best part is that I will 'stay' at the baby store - but only as an 'on-call-no-one-else-is-available-to-cover-my-shift' type of thing for maybe one Saturday a month...BUT I will be able to keep my SUBSTANTIAL discount...which is also good...

Yipee for me!

PATS WIN!!

37-16 over the Jets.... Whoo Hoo...

Now we just have to beat the Chargers (unless the Giants win the Eagles, then it will be the Saints) next week....

GO PATS!

I'm alive

Sorry to not post for so long...I am alive.

A couple days after Christmas I started not feeling so well...then New Years Eve Eve it hit hard...and just didn't get better. I thought it was just a 24 hour flu-bug...but over a week later it hadn't gotten better (although the tummy-flu portion only lasted a day or so, much to my relief) So I finally broke down and went to the Dr...and I have a severe Sinus Infection...I am allergic to amoxicillin (sp?) so I am on a weird antibiotic, it isn't working too well, I still feel lots of pressure under my cheeks. I have days left on my drugs so we'll see...

In other news, tomorrow is my last day at the jewelry store and my last day at the baby store could be this Saturday :) :) :) I have had 2 interviews this last week...both went well, so we'll see what happens. :) I'll keep you posted!
