Well we are home, finally.  Once home life kinda hits you, here is what I did:
-Met with a realtor who is selling our rental properties
-Went to the post office to send out a eBay sale
-Filled my car with gas for the coming week and got a car wash
-Stopped at the store to buy eggs for rivels...yum!
-Stopped at the bank to deposit money in the night deposit box
-Mowed the lawn
-Had supper
-Cleaned the windows and the upholstery in our cars
-Balanced our checkbook
-Checked emails and wrote on my Xanga!

Now, aren't you all glad I told you that?  Tomorrow I work...like I said, welcome home, huh?

A couple of nights ago Autumn found out her grandma died while we were gone so that cut our trip in half...we are now back in hoosier land but we won't be home until wednesday night or so. We are still going to spend the rest of the week resting...it will just be in Indiana instead of somewhere else. Later.

Some news, we found out today that my manager at work has now interviewed a second candidate for assistant manager (after the first one turned down the job...on his first day!).  Now after interviewing a second one that guy is now hired, it seems my manager is extremely hard to please when choosing people.  Anyway, what can you do?

Also, we are on vacation...what a great and over due thing!  We are currently at the Brock's house but tommorrow afternoon we are traveling to see the Klien's and we will be staying at their house until Thursday around lunch time.  I have really appreciated seeing the Brock's and spending time with them again, they have been good host's.  It's hard not to spend some time checking e-mails, thinking and talking about work, but I find that getting my mind off of work is a very good thing to do.  Where we are there is no cell phone service (for Sprint...well most companies actually) so I have had my phone off the entire time...I think that has been good for me.  For someone who spends so much time on and around phones not having one has been...pleasant.  Don't get me wrong I am not ready to give it up or move out here or anything, I just have enjoyed the break.  

I have been interviewing around town, not coming up with much, one that I probably could have had (but wasn't interested in) and one that I was interested in but turned out...it was a horrible match, they wanted me to interview but I decided against it.  And a final (for now it looks like) candidate has emerged, not 100% on the fit, although I would like to find out more because, you know, I am adaptable...especially for this company.  I have a phone interview coming up next week we will see how it goes.  We will keep the company nameless for now, but depending on how things turn out I will tell you later...if I don't forget.

Lastly, we are not going to be getting the house we wanted.  A while back I said there was a secret and that secret was putting an offer on a house, which someone trumped big time and took the house out of the range we felt comfortable with.  Their offer has not been accepted but it most certainly will be at some point (I imagine).  I am ok with it, the house was amazing but I don't think that's where God is leading us to right now so we will be patient.

I have another post on the back burner...I will post it sometime this week it we get a lul and don't have anything to do.  Have a good night.

Today was to be the day when two new hires were suppose to report to work...one did.  One reported long enough to tell our manager that he had accepted another position with a different company for twice his base salary at our store.  He accepted that position...This morning!  I say it's funny depending on your position because the regional manager asked me and a co-worker to submit a job interest form for the Assistant Manager position.  Then they never even interviewed either one of.  Instead they hired an outside candidate for the position...someone who reported the first day, only to resign immediately.  Do you think an internal candidate would have done that, no they wouldn't, but...you know, depends on your point of view.

It has been a while since I posted last...I try to keep up to date but it's hard since I have so many sites to check.  I have been keeping a facebook now so you can all check me out over there as well.  No assistant manager position but oh well, moving on...I have been busy trying to learn Joomla! so that I can create a website, or start over rather.  My site is going to be called myChristianConnection.org but it is currently out of production.  Once up and running I want all of you to tell as many people about it as possible and use it as much as you can, I think you will like it.  Next on my agenda is ...well that is a secret you may or may not find out soon enough.  Until the next time it's been a while, God Bless.
