I got the job!!!!

Wednesday was the Memorial service for Dolores "Meemaw" Davila. It was so hard to see her family so sad without her, but it was good to see old friends, talk and share memories. She was some lady and she'll be missed. On a good note, today was a good day......I got the job!!!! And, so did my friend Denise. Yeah!!! That is how we met about 14 years ago, co-workers at ARTA. We've remained friends all these years and now we'll be co-workers again. :) It should work out quite well. I have to do a 2 week training in Gainesville, but then I'll be working from home. I'm looking very forward to it. Yesterday was a good day, too. I was contacted by an old friend from elementary school, Farha, via Facebook and we chatted and caught up. It was so cool. I also had a phone interview for this job, that I wasn't sure went too well, but I guess it did. Andrew has been off to a shakey start now that he's back in school, but I think he'll straighten up here soon. First, he slept in one of his classes and was sent home with his classwork. Then he took all night to get the one page of questions done and the answers were these smart ass remark type answers. For instance, the question was something along the lines of "when reading a book do you find the main character......" and he'd answer, "I don't know, I don't read much." AAARRRGGGHHH!!! Anyway, then he got in a bit of trouble yesterday for bringing the silly string he got in his Christmas stocking to school and spraying a girl in the face with it. He says he was just going to spray it outward, but someone bumped his arm and it sprayed in his friends eye. Did I mention AAARRRGGGHHH!!!???? So of course I've discussed all this with him and he is on really thin ice. If I tell Roger, he can bet on getting a hair cut with the clippers. I'm giving him a chance to get back in the groove, since he is coming off winter break. As for Ryan, he does his homework right when he gets home, just like he's suppose to, however then he wants to log on to X-Box Live and play Call of Duty 4 for next 5 hours straight. So I have to regulate that addiction and disconnect him from the Borg. All my Christmas decorations are packed up now. I just need to get the boxes put away and get the now naked tree down, boxed and put away. Then I can put my furniture back where it belongs and get my living room back. Whooo Hooo!!! Rogie came home tonight, so I'm thinking the tree will be his job tomorrow. ;) Tonight the boys are watching Wall-E and I guess they're enjoying it. It's been nice and quiet for about 45 minutes now. Love it!!!

  2. I was just thinking today that we had made a full circle and will be working together again! Only this time in the same area......both teaching and learning from each other:). This is why I believe that things happen for a reason. I'm so verklempft today and anxious about the next few months. Why do I get so worked up inside when I know I'm good at what I do and I'm a good team player/leader.
    Thanks for the tip on the job.
