Within a week I had an interview with a law office in Springdale, AR. It was fun! There was a timed test, which I was the only one that passed, and then a character profile. All in all I spent 2 hours going through that process. A week later they called me back and asked me to come in for another interview. It went great again! But this time they told me it would be almost three weeks before the office manager would get back from vacation and then I might get a call.
In the mean time I kept sending out resumes and not really getting any replies back. Until last week...I got a call to come in for an interview with a local company here in town. They were looking for an office assistant. So I went in and met with the office manager who I could tell instantly liked me...or my skills...not sure which. I think the only things that kept her from hiring me on the spot was she wanted someone who could start on Monday and she had another interview lined up for the next day. Either way, she said she'd call me on Friday. Well Thursday afternoon she called and offered me the job! So I had two dilemmas to solve. One...do I take the job and give my bosses basically three days notice? And two...do I take the job and effectively turn down the legal job? Russ and I decided that ultimately we didn't think we were in a place to have me commuting everyday to work. I'd need a lot more money than we think they would be willing to pay me to make it even out and the stress of commuting and maybe not even seeing him for days...really freaked me out. So this is my last day at the hotel. I've offered to come back and work relief days for them if they need me...they just have to call.
As for the law office...this past week or this coming week is when I should be hearing if I got another interview...I thought about just calling up there and leaving a message that I got another job...but I think that's very presumptuous of me thinking I already had another interview...who knows...maybe I was supposed to hear last week and just never got that call?

Yesterday, our friends Daniel & Laura decided to have a spur of the moment cookout. It was super fun and kinda crazy, which they always are. My husband has this knack of being able to fart on cue....so as soon as our friend Daniel bends over to pick something up...Russ runs up...points his back side and Daniels head and lets it rip! This is the second friend, unfortunately, that he had fart on their heads.
And if that wasn't crazy enough! The boys have some of their friends over and decide they have to show off their toys! My husband and Daniel have been going crazy over throwing knives and axes here lately. They decide to go out back and light some torches and throw some knives. Now mind you...it's dusk..their lighting torches to see clearly, but the longer their out there...the darker it gets! All of a sudden Austin's (a FSPD friend of Daniels and Russ') daughter comes back and basically is like...Dad just tried to cut his foot off! I mean this dude walks into the kitchen with a DEEEEEEP GASH in his leg! I wasn't able to get close enough to the wound...the boys are trying to be doctory about it...but it was deep enough I'm pretty sure he cut through either some tendon or muscle cause it hurt for him to flex his foot and the range of motion was seriously impaired. Haven't heard about it today...but Laura and I now have this saying that we keep nagging the boys with...."If you can't keep from breaking your toys/friends you don't get to have anymore toys/friends!"
That's all for now! Have a good one folks!!!
yay! congrats on the new job :-)
