Father's Day

I want to dedicate this post to all the cool kids who were at the Hook on Saturday night to here the band play. Thank you for your hospitality and we enjoyed it.

Happy Father's Day to all who are dads. I enjoyed a lounging day with my wife, son, and my in laws.

It was a solemn day having sad thoughts of little white kitty. When I was younger I always had emotional attachments to the little critters that ran around the house. Now that I am older it gets worse. I have become very fond of cats, dogs, fish, birds, you name it. I guess it is because you realize the miracle of life and understand it a bit more. It is hard to tell your son when even a little fishy dies and goes to the porcelain heaven. So to Beth and Linda who have grieved over little white kitty I am truly sorry for the sad thoughts and feelings you are experiencing. Again Happy Father's Day to all the dads out their. Peace

Another Day

Happy Birthday Greetings to my father in law Daryl and his brother Terry. I hope both of you have a great day. Well things are holding up here. The job search continues. I interviewed 2 times last week and heard back from only one. I heard from one place this morning that told me they had found someone else with more experience to work for them. I have an interview this afternoon at 1:30pm. It is a inside sales position the has a base salary plus commission. I am still waiting for the phone to ring off the hook with people eager to hire me. Its a good thing I am not holding my breath or otherwise I would be dead. So that is what is going on hear. I know my blogging lately is more like me complaining and I do apologize. This is an outlet for me to keep my sanity.

Update

Well yesterdays interview went very well. I spent a hour atleast talking and being shown around the company where I would work and that sort of thing. I think they want me to work there. They were shocked that I would consider the huge pay cut and the horrible heat of the warehouse I would work in. I think of it as a means to an end. I have been playing phone tag this morning with the lady I interviewed with. I was going to try and catch up with her again today about interview #2 and then I received a phone call from another place looking to interview me. Hell yeah. I would like to work for this company. There business profile is a restaurants equipment sales company. How ironic. I want to send a shout out to my in laws for their contribution to groceries and Beth's last Discovercard payment. Beth we finally got that debt off our back. Hallelujah. You know just so all of you know we have been received an out pouring of love from all of our family. My dad has been really understanding and not kicked us out even though we are two months behind on rent. My mom has helped with getting my cdl renewed and just keeping us afloat. Thanks to all of you for your help. It has been wonderful.

I am listening to Mindy Smith right now as I am typing this and I feel I could just start crying. She is mellow and so is my mood right now. It's funny the song playing right now one of the lines is "I am raggedy ann falling apart at the seems". Holy crap the hits you right in the heart sometimes. Just keep swimming. My new motto. I can't thank everyone enough for the out pouring of love you have shown.

Strike 3

Well it is difficult when getting up and striking out on your first three phone calls about jobs on a Monday morning. Good news is that three of my other resumes did get into the hands of people who are still looking into them. It would be nice to be like 1 out 500 applicants to get a job. If I had to take an educated guess that number is probably not a joke. I had to enter the worst job market I could have. Would someone slap me please. Ouch that hurt Nina. I will not give up hope for hope is what keeps us going. I called A & R staffing this morning and sent them my resume to get some more help. Between Monster, CareerBuilder, and a staffing agency certainly and end to these job hunt will be soon. Did I mention Starbuck's has help out a bunch. I am finally getting the hang of things. So I will just keep swimming.

Happy Birthday's to You and You

HAppy Birthday to my dear sister Jenni. I do miss her so much today on the day she was born on June 4 1973. Also Happy Birthday to my mother in law Linda. We keep her year of birth a secret( cause I don't want her to beat me up). Jenni I miss you very much and hope your doing okay. Just pretend that I baked you this cake and you can make a wish and blow out the candles. Love to both of you. Good day.
