Change

Well, got semi-official word today, I will not be getting an offer for a job in Chicago. One of the big reasons, they are not going to be offering any relocation. "We have enough talent here in Chicago, why should we spend the money to bring people from Arizona?" Oh well... That just means I need to kick up my job search a notch. I don't think I want to move over to the Glendale office. I would most likely end up being in the call center. While I am the Scan Hotline right now, I don't have constant phone calls. I would on the call center. So, when the Scottsdale office closes, I guess I will just take my severance pay. It is actually a bit scary. I've been with this company for 13 years now.
(And the funny thing is, I was told they've already made job offers for the positions, and several people have declined the offer, because the pay wasn't enough for them. So, even if I am one of their fallback people, I doubt it would be enough to make the move...)

I'm thinking of maybe getting back into library work. I really enjoyed my time at the Lesar School of Law Library, back when I was in college. I've already sent out resume's to a couple of law firms for library assistant. I don't have a MLS, so can't get full librarian job, but pretty much anything below that, I should be able to handle. Or maybe a file clerk at a law firm.

Rain!

Yeah! It is raining at my apartment!
Rain is good. (actually, current bout is about done...)
there was a LOUD thunderclap that woke me up a bit ago. I really didn't want to be awake this early today, since I didn't get to sleep till about 1am I think.
did get the kits fed at about their normal time today. Sometimes on my days off, they have to wait till I wake up (though Panta is fairly good at waking me up if I go too late.)

Bob (one of the other residents in the complex) and I were talking last night. (Actually, he did most of the talking. I was my usual quiet self.) He's a Roman Catholic priest, and he seems to have been/be fairly high up in the hierarchy. O.O Interesting guy. When Pope John Paul 2 came to Phoenix, Bob had a personal audience with him. And he presided @ Barry Goldwater's funeral service.


Odd dream, I was in a gun battle, and got shot in my right shoulder. and now my shoulder is a bit sore!?

Jos and I are switching over to Verizon Wireless. Should be getting phones today. Jos is actually in the Phoenix metro, but he had to stay with the truck (high value load). I should have gone down to visit him. Hoping the phones get here before he heads out.

(no subject)

Oy vey. Today was quite interesting...

Phones came in today, but the car charger and Bluetooth headset weren't enclosed, so no reason to run down to drop Jos' off with him.
Went up to work, since there was a meeting for the remaining workers, and pizza from Streets of New York (GOOD pizza.) On the way up, there was a fairly major looking accident on the 202, just a bit west of where the 101 crosses. 2 cars on the right side, 2 on the left side, and a cement truck blocking in the right lane.

After the meeting, aaargh... ended up dealing with some fairly major batch issues. A couple of stores called in, that hadn't received their batches LAST Wednesday, which had the AD OFF batches effective this past Sunday, which had quite few sales going off. Plus, NO stores received their batches last night. That got fixed.

Almost got to go see Jos tonight. He had stopped in Lordsburg NM, thinking he was out of driving hours this week. (only about 4 1/2 hours from Phoenix.) I was going to drive over tonight, spend the night, maybe do some exploring in the area tomorrow. Then drive back starting about midnight, getting back in time to go to work Sunday morning.
Dispatch got with him, and he did have hours left for the week... so no go.
He is scheduled to be home next weekend though.
