Well I had my first day of work today. I'm a stocker at Petsmart. I've been lugging dog food for 9 hours. Geeze am I sore! How do you do it Paul? It feels like my back is going to fall off! And my hands are so sore it hurts to type! I know it just takes some getting used and afterwards I'll be a buff man, but will I survive before then ( Read more... )

Guess what? I'm moving back to Washington. Ann and I talked in depth about me joining the Air Force as an Officer and we both got very excited about it. So we're going to do it. Moving back to Washington will reduce our expenses and it is also less stressful. I know given time we could of made it over here (good house, good jobs), but this is a ( Read more... )

Well the 2nd interview went okay. I feel I answered their questions well, but that they would prefer a person with more experience with children. It was tough having 4 people drilling you for information. It sounds like an exciting job though. Not only would I be a school counselor, but it looks like I will be really involved with the community. I' ( Read more... )

Anyone who wants it or some of it just say so... I think half of that RAM is ( Read more... )

Well I made it here. Things are going okay here living with Ann's folks. The goals now are to find a job, get a car, and then get our own place. Ann started her first day of work today at Petsmart which will help immensely. I've applied to quite a few social work jobs, but haven't heard anything back from any of them. So I've applied to Walmart. ( Read more... )

Well I'm moving again. This time to Schoharie, NY. I made a promise to my wife that we would live in New York for a couple years to give it a try. Plus she wants to have her baby over there where her family is. Two years in New York should give me some good social work experience. Then I will come back to Washington (unless I like it there). So it' ( Read more... )
