Matt had a job interview today!  Please please everyone keep your fingers crossed that it goes well.  He hasn't been working since this summer so we really need this.   I'm able to pretty much pay all of our bills and keep food in the house and gas in the car, but it will be great to have help with rent again and to be able to actually go out and ( Read more... )

Hmm, I don't even know where to begin to update what has happened since I was here and posting last.  I think it's been almost a year or so.  I found a new job, so now I'm working for a local Allstate agent selling insurance.  I started there Dec. 1st, so it's still pretty new but things are going well.   Matt and I are still together and he is ( Read more... )

 I'm still searching for that elusive roommate and second job combo that would really save my ass.  I can't seem to find anything!  The potential roommates who have come to look at the house have all been older, and I get the impression that they don't want to live with a twenty something who parties and comes in and out at random hours.  That's ( Read more... )

Today was my last day of training!  I'm officially certified as a Jenny Craig consultant.  I'm so excited, but again I'm really nervous about working tomorrow.  I know that I'll mostly be observing, but it's my last day before one on one consultations begin. 

 I just want to say, that I really love my job so far!  I know I haven't really posted any updates about it but I've been pretty busy studying and learning everything that I need.  My training will start back up on Tuesday and Wednesday, and after that I'll be certified!  Yay!  I've talked to my center director and she said that she wants me to do ( Read more... )

My poor baby is miserable and I feel so helpless right now. He's just laying around and I know he's in pain. He'll play occasionally and he's still eating like the little horse that he is, but I know that he's suffering. Every so often he just jumps up and shakes his poor head and cries before he starts trying to scratch at his ear. We've been ( Read more... )

I got the job at Jenny Craig! I start Thursday at 5pm! I'm scared, but super excited right now.

I called to file for unemployment today.  I really did not want to do this.  I guess it has to do with my stubborn streak and not wanting to accept anyone's help, but it had to be done.  They said I'd be receiving a packet in the mail with further information to let me know if I qualified, and if so what I need to do to collect benefits.  Want to ( Read more... )

 I have a job interview on Monday morning!  It's not something I really want to do, but it's a full time position so I can't really turn it away at this point.  It's for a customer service/call center rep position with a local health insurance company.  Totally not something I think I'd like, but it has benefits and pays decently.  Right now, I ( Read more... )

I've been working on some "free writing" projects lately, trying to figure out what I really want to do with my life and how to get back on track. The overall themes that keep popping up are going back to school, and finding a job. I really knew that before I started, but at least I'm finally getting some focus. Now I just need to figure out how ( Read more... )
