So I'm wondering if anyone remembers the freakout I had a couple of weeks ago about George missing his interview because I gave him bad directions.

The HR lady rescheduled him for last week, and after the morning introduction, the manager scheduled him for a follow-up interview.

He ended up getting the job!!!!

He goes in today for a drug test, an in-depth colorblindness test (it's for a printing company, so he has to be able to distinguish shades of colors), and something else.

If it goes well, he starts a week from Wed.

After 8 months of unemployment, this is like a dream for us. It's a great job with an awesome company, super family friendly. The guy that hired him used to work in the position that they hired George into, and thinks he has the potential to move up quickly in the company.

Yay!!!

 


yay! congrats! that's great news. What is the job? and what a relief for you guys!

 


It's for a huge printing company (they print Newsweek, Time, and Playboy). He'll be working on a custom press, which prints custom inserts (basically the garbage you get in the mail that says "Congrats Alyssa, you've been selected to win $1000!")

It's an entry-level position, but it's a foot in the door of a REALLY good company, and there is potential for a great career for him.

The manager that hired him actually thought the story from what happened with his first interview was funny-apparently even life-long WI people hate driving through Waukesha.

 

 


do you mind telling me the printing company? Or pm-ing me? If it's the company I'm thinking of, you are right, it's a GREAT company. I visited their plant in Saratoga NY and knew a lot of people there when I was in NY. They all loved it.

I hope this thread doesn't move... Mostly from a selfish perspective, otherwise I wouldn't care. But I think most of the talk that goes on in the daily chat thread usually doesn't get to so personal that making it private it a necessity.

But either way, gm ladies.

I'm super naucious, which is the work thing to wake up to on Mondays, and will now have to suffer in silence irl or deal with 8 million people asking me if I've poas, lol.


Ditto. (GM!)

I hope you feel better, Leah, unless it's for a good reason. wink

So it's looking like Holly will be starting pre-K by the end of the month. smile She's excited, but I'm not sure *I'm* ready, as much sense as that makes. We toured the place today (tested their open door policy and they were great about it).

I have to agree.  I'm much rather talk about discharge in a private forum LOL.  Or maybe a separate thread that's not restarted daily?

I'm taking Meghan out for pizza before swimming lessons

I somehow have to pick up Meghan from camp tomorrow at 12:30, get her changed there and get her over to swimming lessons by 1.  I think we'll make it on time but I hate having to rush.

I'm so hungry! hungry.gif

THis makes my heart super happy! (not that you're feeling sad, but ykwim) - If it is any consolation, I was the same way about Hannah going to pre-k last year, and then that time became sacred to my sanity.

Like a thread that starts each post with DYK or the name of the threads are drink names? laughing.gif

Let's do it, let's do it!

I'll post this in another area too but has anyone ever done the Zone diet?

I'm thinking about switching into that when my cleanse is done on Thurs.

I bought the book but it's boring me. Haven't gotten to the meal plan section yet.

i'm in my 16th week - hope to get some good pics!

bert is going to every appt with me - without me asking!  i think he only ever did that with timmy.


 That's super exciting!

Do they perform an U/S at most visits there? Are you going to try and find out what you are having (sorry if you talked about it and I missed it-I'm out of the loop these days).

 

yeah - us most all visits - till the very end when i end up going in once  every few weeks/once a week - then they mostly monitor contxnx.

hopefully we will find out what it is tomorrow!

:wave:

i did the zone before kids and had MEGA success with it.

it's a lot of weighing and measuring at first, but then it gets easy.

i have a couple of the books in the other room so i can always check stuff for you if you can't find it in your book or online.

So Sarah walked in front of Ryan yesterday just as he was swinging a baseball bat to hit a ball.

And....you guessed it, he hit her right in the head.

So of all my children my daughter is the first to end up in the ER.

My kids have gotten plenty of goose eggs in their time but after the whole Natasha Richardson thing, we just decided better safe than sorry.

So after 3 hours in the ER, she got a clean bill of health.

TG for the iphone. She watched movies and tv shows and played games while all the other kids were bored out of their skulls.

I recently purchased some folding headphones for my purse. I was patting myself of the back for that one.
