Perfect Timing...

On the humorous side of course. Today I get a call and guess what they wanted to interview me for a job. At first, I thought they wanted to sell me something and I was going to ask how they got my phone number. But, then they told me about my resume and I tried really hard not to laugh.

I had been been looking for a job for the past year. The company that called me had a job posting about 6 months ago. Needless to say, they were a little late. And it is their perfect timing to call the first day after I quit my last job. And that is just my luck.

Still, I don't think they would have been able to afford me.

Closing Time

All my stuff is packed, the work is done (I was even nice enough to finish as much as possible for next month). Now, my desk looks bare not much left except the computer and a few old CDs. The only thing left to do is return my pass card and say my good byes.

It is a little surreal knowing that I will not be coming back anytime soon. And at the same time very much releaved. Anyway, I am very greatful for the opportunity to have worked with The Reporter in Vacaville. I have learned a lot, and the people are have been excellent colleagues. I will miss them, but I won't miss the last ditch effort to meet deadlines. Thank you for a good 5 years.

Every new beginning comes from some others beginning's end...

More Good News

This morning my brother got a call from AMR. He has been hired as an EMT. So he will be starting his new job in June. This is a dream and a whole lot of work come true. He has been trying to get a job as an EMT or firefighter for at least 2 years.

I might add that he is extremely lucky. Normally, the waiting list to be hired as an EMT for AMR is at least 2 years. He applied 6 months ago.

A Step of Faith

Today is the last day at my current job. The last day, I will be sitting at a desk I have sat at for the last five years. Right now, I could probably do this job in my sleep. (There have been one or two days I prabably did) There are serveral things that I will miss like my co-workers. And there are things I will be glad to leave behind, like very late ads.

As I walk out the doors at five, it will be a step of faith. There are a lot of things that I don't know or what will happen next. We are still looking for a store front. We still have to purchase equipment. And we have a whole lot of marketing to do. When I leave today, I will still have a lot of unanswered questions. Howerver, every answer is now up to me and my family. Taday I celebrate tomorrow and all the hopes to follow.

Today, I also step out in faith and I am going to put my beliefs in action. To the Future.

No Vacancy

It appears that dispite the over whelming growth and the appearance of empty storefronts. There is almost nothing available... Literally.

It is a little disheartening. However, it is not a lost cause. Right now, we have two possibilities and one miracle. Personally, we are hoping for the mircale. (hey, we might as well try for the best) Of course, it is not available in the truest meaning of the word, but things can change and there is a real possibility. The other two will take a little time. The first is a little smaller than we would like and the second is the perfect size but is not ready to be occupied.

On a side note, we also found out why no one was returning our calls. There was a conference in Las Vegas and the majority of real estate agents that we wanted to talk to were there. At least, we didn't give them our money before they left. Who knows what could have happened.
