It’s a beautiful day! The weather is absolutely gorgeous outside. It’s a bit chilly and a light jacket is required. I LOVE this kind of weather! I woke up early this morning to go to Apple Valley for a parade that my niece and nephew were in. I still have no idea what the parade was even for. My guess is that it has something to do with Apple Valley’s anniversary. Either way I am glad I was able to get up early. It means I have more time for myself and to enjoy such a beautiful day.
On my way back to the house I stopped off at Starbucks for a coffee and saw the coolest thing I’ve seen all week! I so need to get myself one of these!
A Wilson Antenna Topper!
Anyways, I got a job! I now work for Alliance Payment Technologies a couple buildings away from my old job at linkLINE! Apparently Keith had just found out I was let go the week before and when they realized they needed someone he and Jess thought of me! I hadn’t even applied for the job! I guess they got my number from Sam and called me that same afternoon. This was Monday. I got the call at around 2 pm and they asked me to come for an interview that day. I was planning on meeting Nancy for dinner down the hill so I decided I could make it. I got to the interview and by the time she stopped talking I was offered the job! It was so sudden I hadn’t really thought about taking it. It was a commute, it was customer support and the pay was the lowest I told myself I would take. She asked when I could start if I did take the job, she wanted me to start the next day, Tuesday, and I told her I had a side job I was doing that I would probably not be able to start till the following Monday. Then she put icing on the cake for me. She said there was a lot of downtime and she would have no issues with me working on my brother’s site on the clock! So I felt that would more then make up for the money issue and this way Shawn will be able to pay me right away since we had thought I would just invoice him once I got a job.
The job is easy. I take very minimal calls in comparison to support at linkLINE. And it’s merchant support rather then customer support. And it’s for one application rather than troubleshooting multiple OS, applications, networks, etc.
I do hate the commute though. My car is in serious need of a tune-up so my friend David from church said he’d check it out. I might need new tires, which totally bites! But it does look like my car is going to have to last me longer then I anticipated.
Mike (a friend of the family) is coming to hang out with me and Brian at our place tonight. It should be fun to hear them go back and forth with each other. They used to be roommates.
Anyways, that is the quick update.
