Moms babbling............

Since mom is going to go crazy in the next week, she wanted to share some info.

I will be all obsessed with Buddy photoshoot and the long 10-12 hr trek to WI - that I know I would forget to fill in my blog family about my new job and stuff.  :)


Got a new job that starts on Monday, May 14th.  Still in the plastic injection molding area, but things just seemed too good to pass up:
       1. First shift, right away... 8 - 430
       2.  not even 10 min drive.  WOOHOO!
       3.  Controlled Temp.  WOOHOO!  (If you know me, I DESPISE the heat, and by heat I mean anything over 70!)
       4.  More $
       5.  Benefits package
       6. No need to buy my own tools
       7.  3 week training period (vs. "here read this spec sheet")

It was all way crazy - everything happened in like a week....picked up the app on a wednesday.  They called thursday for an interview.  Interviewed on a tuesday.  There was a verbal and math test to pass.  I didn't expect to pass the math at all.   Then the interview came and went.  Neither the HR or the "boss" looked terrribly impressed.  But, it was ok, I mean, I didn't even expect them to call me in the first place.  I still had a job and paycheck, so I didn't get flustered or anything.  So then before I even get home (cuz it is less than 10 min away) there was a vm on my phone, they liked to hire me!!!!

THEN!!!!  at the current job:
the morning I was going to give my two week notice, they tell me I'm going to first shift. Just like that.  No asking,  just "You're coming to first monday."  Ummm............ok.  That's what I said too!! "ooooooookkkkkkkkkk" But I took the weekend to decide what I wanted to do (cuz who knows, this new place could be terrible, or they don't like me or whatever!)  But I chose to try it....and my current place said they were sad to lose me, but would welcome me back in the need arises.  So that was nice.  It was a good send off.  :D
      
oh, and I quit the at home project, it wasn't working out...spending more than I had.........I know that's life, but it just wasn't going anywhere.  Se la vie.

I also got 6" cut from my hair..........it's a cute little bob...just above the shoulders.  It's cute, but for some reason, the sides of my hair tend to curl, while the back stays mostly straight....so usually after my shower, if I let it air dry w/o anything, it gets 3 times bigger.  I'm a pasty white chic with a big 'fro.  No lie.

I can't wait to meet most of you in good ol WI -  pugfest!!! Remember, I'm super shy, so come say hi to me and buddy!!!!  :D  Buddy is an attention whore, so he won't mind. hehehe.

so that's my boring stuff.  More Buddy stuff to come this week.  :)
