New Job!

Well.... drum roll please..... I will be starting a new job on July 28th! It's not exactly what I was looking for, but it is in my field, and I think there is potential. The pay is BLAH...although, better than unemployment. I've been spoiled the last 3 years with hospital benefits, and this job is NOT worthy, but, then again, no job would be, unless it was at a hospital, and even hospital insurance is starting to feel the heat of rising health care costs. (Whew... that was a run-on sentence!)
So, I have till the 28th to do all the stuff I should have been doing in my 2 months of unemployment...stuff that I procrastinated away so easily!

Columbus Crew Game

Who knew I'd like soccer? I went to the Columbus Crew game in Columbus with Shaun this weekend. My brother warned me, and said, "bring a book," implying that I would be bored. However, Shaun was right and it was a lot of fun! The fans get so into it, and the game is much more action packed than I suspected. Plus, the city of Columbus is amazing!

Here's Shaun and I!

And another of Shaun:

And one of a crazed Crew fan...

And the final score: a tie!

I really learned a lot about Soccer. It's more interesting than I had previously assumed.

The Piss Poor Garage Sale

Yeah. So the garage sale didn't go so well. My mom and I think the piss poor economy has trickled right down to the garage sales.

End of Week 3

So... it's been 3 weeks of unemployment. I can't say it's been particularly fun... but it hasn't been horrible. I'm trying to do things that I don't normally have time for (i.e. scrapbooking).
I've had a couple interviews (nothing panned out), and I have another on Tuesday morning. I just signed up for a Career Advancement course that is being paid for by my former employer. Figure I should milk them for whatever they offer, you know?
I'm still getting paid... via severance, until the end of June. Then... I can officially start receiving unemployment checks.
I'm still dating Shaun. I'm having a great deal of fun with him. I'm still not wanting to jinx myself though, and say much more.
The boys are doing well. Being at home has made me more aware of how much time they spend sleeping. Sometimes I leave for a couple hours, and come back, and I swear they have not moved an inch the entire time I've been gone! What a life... I think if I'm reincarnated, I want to come back as a pampered house cat.
My garden is doing well, although I still have not put in any annuals because the Condo Association is supposed to be putting in some shrubs. However... this has not been done yet. In fact...I think I will call our building maintenance guy right now... I want to wait till I know the placement of the shrubs before I put more plants in the ground...
No further updates.

Update

No job yet. One interview. Possibilities there... but... I never get my hopes up too high. There are always variables that seem to be out of my control.
Still with Shaun and that is going well.
I'm bored with the unemployment. Give me a call! I have TONS of free time (but zero money).

A Boyfriend?!?!

Yup... that's the story. Erinn does indeed have a boyfriend. I'm happy. Despite being unemployed... I am happy. His name is Shaun and once I have a picture of us together, I will post it here. As of now though, if you have a facebook account, you can see him by linking to him through my page. I love facebook.
Anyone know of any job openings?
