I have an interview Monday. Everyone send good vibes my way.

Well, I’ve sent out my first resume. We’ll see how this goes. I’ve found another listing online for a job that I’ll probably be applying for this evening. At first I was kind of bummed, but now I’m looking at this as an opportunity, and its lit a bit of a fire under my ass to get something better. If all else fails for right now, I can always collect unemployment and take the summer off while looking for a new job. We’ll see what happens on that one.

Andrea started her long term sub position yesterday. It’s going pretty well so far. I really hope it transitions into a permanent position in the fall, but I know not to get my hopes up. I really think she’s got a very good chance though. She’s an amazing teacher, and those kids should love her.

The bathroom should be completely finished this weekend. It’s almost surreal that we’re finally getting it done. We’ve been working in there since the end of September. Once we get everything finished this weekend, I’m going to take pictures and a video, and will link it all up here.

We bought a TomTom One GPS the night before I found out about losing my job. We were going to take it back, but the thing is so handy to have around that we just couldn’t bring ourselves to do it. It’s especially good for Andrea, because she doesn’t have the sense of direction that I do.

I had myself all primed to buy myself a new laptop before I found out about the job thing. That will definitely have to wait, because it’s not something that I even remotely need, just something that I really want. [If anyone who reads this blog has a wad of spare cash laying around that they want to waste on a nerd, this is the one that I want ]

So I found out yesterday that I’m losing my job. They’re doing a realignment, and mine is one of the jobs to go.

I’ve just got to look at this as an opportunity. It could end up being the best thing that ever happened to me.
