I know I vanished for a bit after I lost my job but I've been super busy. The first week after my boss let me go I had at least one interview every day. Luckily out of those 6 or so interviews, I got 3 job offers. The one I chose is at a company called Pictographics. It's only 15 mins from home in good traffic as compared to an hour from home every evening. I have the official title of Administrative Assistant and not receptionist. The job is an actual job, which I know sounds strange but if you knew about my previous employers you would understand.

Here I get work to fill my time, and work that is not pointless. I support not only the HR department but accounting and customer service as well. Right now I'm not making much but after 90 days I have my probationary review and that's when I get insurance [full] and possibly up to a 5$ raise.

I like the people I work with and I feel productive again. They are allowing me to take time off for J's surgery. Oh yea, he has to have cataract surgery on both eyes. We have to manage and plan this in between all of his traveling this summer. Thursday he leaves for Austin, TX [home town to us both], then he gets back that Friday. Sunday he leaves for Iowa and returns the following Sunday to turn around and leave again for Michigan. Then he's home for about 2 weeks and takes off for Canada. He will be there until mid August. Missing our anniversary, which upsets me but it can't be helped. Lots of travel!

Me on the other hand, I'll just be at home. Working lots, sleeping lots, cleaning lots, and hopefully enjoying life.

So please, leave me comments about life and you and your loved ones!
