Job Update

So much has happened in the past 2 days, I thought I would fill you in. First of all, my job dilemna has been solved. After my phone screening with Westinghouse, it was clear to me that I needed to take the first job...which I am excited about! Westinghouse was simply screening calls so they could collect a new pool of candidates IF a job were to open up. So basically, they put me into their pool of candidates so that when THEY are ready to hire someone, they can look at who their options are and go from there. So the chances of them calling back anytime soon are slim, but if they do, I could always go for it and see, but I certainly can't sit around and wait for them.

So now that Westinghouse is out of the picture, I can focus on my other job offer. The company I will be working with is called "Metro Benefits" and I will be starting on Monday, the 22nd. Their located right on Perry Highway, hence the 10-minute commute! They are a smaller company, about 25 ppl, so its the size of office I've always liked working in, and everyone I met was really friendly on my interview. I'll be doing a Receptionist/Admin. position (again) but that's ok. Hopefully one day, I can move into primarily an Admin. Assistant position. But the best part of this job....they wear jeans everyday! I'm not sure how much I'm going to like that....I kind of like wearing dress pants, but I'm sure I'll love it in no time :)

So thank you to everyone for the advice! I think I'll be really happy with my choice, and I'm so excited.

In other news, Ross had a really great interview the other day! It was the same day that I was offered a job, so you can imagine the level of excitement in our household that day! We don't know if he'll get the job or not (and we're trying not to get our hopes up), but it's promising to see that at least he had such a good interview and wasn't another waste of time. I'm praying for him....so that he can quite working at Home Depot (where he just started & already hates!) and start on a career related to his field. He deserves it...so please keep him in your prayers :)

Lastly, just a few updates on the new apartment....
- we bought a fridge from the "Sears Dent & Scratch Outlet", yet it was a brand new fridge for a good price
- we bought a used stove from a store in Butler, so that's another appliance out of the way
- and lastly, we're going to buy our brand-new front-loading washer & dryer from Sears today, b/c they happen to have an awesome discount on the exact model we want (which was marked as a "Best Buy" in the Consumer Report. Boy, did I do my research or what?!)! I can't wait! And I'm glad to be done with appliance shopping. It was a lot of effort to figure out exactly what we wanted while still being reasonable, then shopping around for the best price. But we did it (let's be honest....I did it, not we), and now we're done. I can't wait to move in!
