August Update
It has been awhile since I wrote a blog so I decided to update everyone a little bit on what is going on in my life. Well, I am not on Myspace all day like I used to be, I decided to take on new projects & plus it is way too hot to sit in the office without AC & veg on the computer. I have been trying to get out a lot more lately & do errands & what not, it has been nice. The diet thing however took a slight pause as the weather is too damn hot to exercise in. After the weather cools I will be working out once again.
I have been looking high & low for a job lately with a slight panic because my unemployment is going to be running out soon. Not sure what the problem is but I send tons of resumes out & no one is calling me. I have a pretty impressive resume so I really don’t understand what the problem is. And the interviews I do get I really just blow at them. I guess I am just to the point now that I am so sick of pretending that I care about a job or working that it probably comes off that way to them. People want you to get all excited about your job & what not & I am just not like that, what is exciting about Customer Service? Also, Gordon just found out that AAA is going to be closing their Irvine office. Basically they are not renewing the lease in 4 years, however that didn’t come to such a surprise to us, we saw all the same signs there as we did at ProsoftTraining when it went down & also that I saw at LTU before they went down. First big-wigs were “retiring” or transferring to the Frisco office & there were a lot of lay offs & hiring freezes off & on. Very obvious to us. Two years later they announced what Gordon & I were anticipating. The company is so big that they are going to be letting go each department a little at a time but by the 4th year no one will be there. No telling how long anyone has there job there. So Gordon is looking for a job now along with me.
Gordon & I also decided to start fertility treatments, we just had a small consultation & him & I took some blood tests. They only gave him two & when I sat there to take my blood they had 9 vials out to take my blood, there were 21 tests that I had to take… INSANE! But the female has to go through a lot & real intensive stuff. We have to find out why my eggs aren’t carrying down the way they should be. In the meantime the Dr. said it was OK to keep trying, if we get pregnant hopefully this third time will be a charm, at least I am hoping. Everyone around me seems to be having babies & I am hoping to join the pack. Our friend Joe & Monique are due in January, my friend Jack & Darla also & my friend Tony & Jenny are due in November. If we get knocked up it will be cool for all our kids to someday hang out together.
My mom still has the house up for sale. She has had a couple of open houses & a lot of looky-loos but no bites yet. Hopefully they will get that place sold & outta here to Oregon. She is giving it until November & if it does not sell then she will put it up for sale again at the beginning of next summer. Not sure what the Lords plans are but we all trust Him.
So all in all things are OK, besides the fact that I got a real bad summer cold for about 7 days that really sucked, crappy interviews & the weather has been hotter than Hades… all in all though it hasn’t been that bad of an August.
