Suppose you discover that your boyfriend of six years had a super secret savings account. Suppose that savings account had a lot of money in it.
Like enough money for a nice engagement ring.

Would you start to get excited?

HammieLove is a totally above board guy, so I don't think that anything sinister is going on. I think he is keeping it a secret so I will be totally surprised when he pops the question. At least that is what I am hoping.

I am still excited.

We have such a busy weekend ahead of us. (What's new, right?) We started taking the Advanced Open Water scuba course and we have a night dive on Friday night and then we are taking a boat out to the wreck of the HMS Yukon (it was purposely sunk to create a natural reef) on Saturday afternoon. There we will do a wreck dive and a deep dive (100 ft!) Then it is Meagan's birthday on Sunday and I am taking her to Raging Waters. She has always wanted to go to San Dimas and Raging Waters because the movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure was filmed there. She loves B&T.

I think I will be tanned and tired come Monday.

We are in the process of moving office buildings at my new job. My new work area is AWESOME. I sit up at what is technically the receptionist desk, though I am not a receptionist. Well, not really. Yes, I answer the phones but I am also the assistant to the owner. I am in charge of pre-qualifying all the clients that call in looking for a design and build firm for their remodeling projects. It is cool because I kind of get to give them the sales pitch about the company. Not quite a sales position, but I am still pretty involved in the process.

My boss is very nice. Our company has been featured as one of the top 50 remodeling companies in the country in one of the big trade magazines. Even in the article, Boss talks about surrounding himself with good people and the importance of having happy employees. He expects a lot out of us but is really giving in return. He and I had a meeting with the salesman for our new phone system yesterday. It is a system that I am familiar with and he seemed to really like that I was taking initiative to ask the guy questions. I then told Boss about some of the ideas I had and he is definitely taking them into consideration.

Have a good day!

Is anyone else watching Rock Star: INXS? I really really like that show. I think that either J.D. (ego and all) or Jordis is going to win. Jordis can sing anything and I think that J.D. has the drive and ambition.

I officially love Kaysar from BB6. This week has been exciting. I can't wait to see Eric voted out. Buh-bye Midget Man!

Work is still awesome. Life is good.

More details later when I have some time!

Good News!

I got a job! Started today as the office assistant at a remodeling and design firm. It looks like I am really going to like it here!

More later...

Monday, monday

You would think that I would be enjoying my time off. Beautiful weather in San Diego, beach just a short drive away.

Yeah, I'm enjoying it.

I am not enjoying my dwindling bank account (neither is HammieLove.) I have only had one interview and I am starting to get a little worried. Maybe it was because last week was a short week? The bites on my resume will start coming this week, right?

RIGHT?

In other news, HL and I got our open water SCUBA certification yesterday. We dove to sixty feet. That was pretty cool, and REALLY cold! *brrr* We saw a couple of jellyfish, a lot of stingrays, and some other cool marine life. We decided to continue on to our advanced certification.

Maybe I can do that for a living?

They wrote "non-performance" on the termination papers.

Funny, I hadn't had any complaints -- one instance of constructive criticism but nothing along the "you better shape up" line.

My boss said that "my spirit would have been crushed" and the I was "better off."

I cry BULLSHIT.

I have a family crisis, request time off and get fired three days later? Huh.

Oh well, I have one interview on Tuesday already and I answered about a gazillion ads today.

I am going to go home and clean my house. Maybe go to the beach.
