The Job Interview....

Quick catch up.....yesterday I attended my Uncle's funeral with my Mom. My father and my son both worked the funeral, which was nice. I felt my uncle's family's loss, and that was a bit emotional for me, but it was a nice funeral and I got to see Uncle Joe one more time and say goodbye. Last night, I took Andrew to the Hobbytown for some model purchasing and then the boys and I had dinner at Ozzie's (a buffet) with Mom and Dad. We had a good dinner and the boys ate like the piglets they are and I only had to yell at them twice. :)
So today, Denise and I took a road trip to Gainesville for a group interview with a company looking to fill several title search/examiner positions. I was up with the boys at 6:00am and got them off to their first day back to school. I got ready and Denise was here a little before 11:00am. Off we went. We got there a little before 1:00pm, I know, good time, but Mario Rosario was driving!! hee hee hee Anyway, we wasted a bit of time, then got to the interview. There were 14 people total in this group interview. It was definately different from any interview I've ever done, but I feel that Denise and I both did great. We RULED!!! One disappointing point was within the first couple of minutes of the interview. The staffing specialist begins to "tell us about the positions available" and right off the bat says that the job is part-time. I was a bit put off by that because I specifically called her prior to ask a few questions and one of them was verifying that the position was full-time. Typical!!!! However, I feel it can still be beneficial and after the 90 day training/orientation period, you can apply for full-time. I'm very excited about getting started on the 2 online businesses I'm forming with Jeanne and Juliette, so maybe, starting off "part-time" for the first 3 months is a good thing. Also, I don't know what their "part-time" is, it may still be 30 or more hours a week. That wouldn't be too bad. Denise and I are both waiting for a call for a phone interview and then hopefully we'll know. I'm hoping it's this week. The boys both had a good day in school today. Back to the grind. :) Rogie was able to come home for a few hours tonight. Yeah! I miss him when he's gone. He'll shower, eat and hang out for a few then head back out. He and Andrew are making plans for their train room. We'll be turning out dining room into the hobby room starting this weekend. Well, I'm going to spend some time with the family. Good night.
