Make One Up

There really isn't too much going on here. Still searching, still applying, still waiting for the phone to ring. I did have an appointment with a Temp Agency yesterday that went really well. However I do know how this works since I've been doing personnel work at WM, I pretty know the routine. Hopefully they will be able to place me somewhere soon. Being home really sucks. I get up with Sarah and make her lunch and most of the time drive her to school. This gives her more time in the morning to get ready. When I come home I make my breakfast and coffee and I stay up. I think I might have gone back to bed once since I got fired and that is because I went to sleep at 2am making sure that the laundry was done for her to have something to wear for school. Then I got up at 7. That was the only morning I went back to sleep for about 2 more hours when the phone woke me up and it was the temp agency calling me in for an interview. So I didn't mind.

the interview went well. I passed all the test with flying colors. Even after 3 years of being out of the office I still got my skills. Go me!! They tested me on Excel, PowerPoint and typing. Both alpha and numeric. I aced both. It was really easy stuff. 95% accuracy. I rock! So I hope that the job Gods are looking out for me cause I really need to get out of the house.

So I'm basically done with everything I need to do by noon and the rest of the day I'm sitting here staring at this monitor searching, applying, calling, waiting. This morning I've been reading a journal I came across and got sucked into the archives and read about 3 years worth of entries. And its only 11am. I do have a full day ahead of me though. I need to put gas in the car for Sarah tonight (she has to work) and then I'm off to the roomies sisters house to cut a 2x4 into pieces because the dreaded staircase that I fell through a couple of months ago isn't looking so great so we need to re-enforce it so that that doesn't happen again. And then I get to clean the bathroom...wooo hoooo....To much fun people!!

There is going to be a recruiter coming over tomorrow to interview Sarah for this college she is interested in. My little girl is growing up so fast. I am really quite proud of her. She is doing really well in school. Her grades are really good (ays & bees, one see) and she is getting really good grades on the big tests....SAT's, and the like. (the tests that count for college) so I'm really proud of her. She had every opportunity to just get by and not care, and she didn't take that route. She has a group of good friends and she just seems to be so much happier than she was last year in school. So I'm happy about that.

she wants to get her nose pierced. Not like a ring or anything big and gawdy like that...Just a small, very small stud like piercing. I'm thinking about letting her do it. She'll be 18 in April....I'm sure she'll do it then anyway cuz you know....She's 18 and legal to make her own decisions......Whatever!!! I think it would be really cute on her anyway. We'll see.

well I'm off to get my day started. Clean the bathroom, shower, dress, get gas, cut wood.

have a good day!!

here's a joke my sister emailed me the other day...i thought it was pretty funny so i thought i would share with y'all:

Barber Shop

A guy sticks his head into a barber shop and asks,
> "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looks around the
> shop and says, "About 2 hours."
> The guy leaves.

A few days later the same guy sticks his head in
> the door and asks,
> "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looks around at
> the shop full of customers and says, "About 3 hours."
> The guy leaves.

> A week later the same guy sticks his head in the shop and asks,
> "How long before I can get a haircut?"
> The barber looks around the shop and says, "About an hour and
> half." The guy leaves.

> The barber looks over at a friend in the shop and says, "Hey, Bill,
> follow that guy and see where he goes. He keeps asking how long he has> to wait for a haircut, but then doesn't come back."
>
> A little while later, Bill comes back into the shop, laughing
> hysterically

.> The barber asks, "Bill, where does he go when he leaves here?" Bill
> looks up, tears in his eyes and says,

> "Your house!"
