Oh, just things...

Good news: Sean is moving out this weekend! Yayyy! I don't know when he is going to give us the keys, though. SO, the first matter of business is to change all the locks. Then knocking out half of the wall between the dining room and living room, then painting everything, then getting the new floors put in everywhere, then having it bombed for insects, then re-drywalling the basement, then removing the pine trees that are too close to the garage, THEN we can finally be settled in.

=)

Oh yeah....right about now...I have to say...I feel like I really am digging my job. A lot. The girls are so nice and have really made me feel comfortable, I'm respected and looked at as someone who actually knows what she's doing (as opposed to being challenged with every decision I make or propose), and the satisfaction when I do a good job is definitely there. Yes, I realize it is not saving the world or helping impoverished kids like I really wish it could be, but some of these students do have children and if I can help them find employment, I really am helping their kids out by improving their financial status. So like I said, it's still there. I am still helping someone out, or at least trying.

Aside from the job placement aspect of my job, I love that I am getting to completely remix both the corporation website and the school's website. Having a work laptop with all my software is great, and my business cards are the coolest cards in history!! And when we sat in the meeting to discuss the needs of the new website, the IT director actually listened to me. Every decision was essentially up to me! They trust my decisions and have faith in me that I will do the job well. How cool is that? Who gets to join a new company and actually gets respected off the bat? Yes, the travelling still sucks, but everything else makes it worth it. I am very happy with my job. Wow, I never thought I could feel so fulfilled in that area of my life!

Anyway, Gio and Gus are coming home tonight. Not everything fit in his car, though, which means that next weekend we are driving back to pick up odds and ends like lamps, the tent, etc.

I need a manicure. Bad.

Anyway. Hopefully Sean gives us the keys this weekend so that we can get in there and really start tearing the place up. Eeeks! So excited! I love home remodeling!!!!
