I got laid off. Not much to the story, other than new management cutting heads. It was nothing short of devestating. My first reaction was panic. I cried for a good 30 minutes while they explained the lay off procedure and went over all the paper work. It almost sounded like they were under water, all i could hear was my own thoughts. Luckily, I had a very large support system with the company. My boss, Julie, sent out an email to all that she knew seeking a new job for me. I was laid off on Friday and that very next Thursday I was hired at the Hard Rock. THANK GOD. I seriously can not thank Julie enough for helping me.
Although I got hired that Thursday, I still haven't started yet. I am waiting on a call from HR to start the process of drug test and background check. I called to check in last Friday because it was one week since they hired me and still no phone call but they assured me I have the position, it's just a long, slow process.
So, while I have been enjoying this mini, what only I can call vacation, I have been pretty busy. I have cleaned (a lot), shopped for interview clothes, interviewed, shopped again for a dress and then attended Dane's ALS (Airman Leadership School) graduation. It was such an educating experience. I asked questions the entire duration on the ceremony. I was also very proud of Dane. It was a long, time consuming 5 week course and he passed with flying colors. Yay him!
This week I have nothing to do. I haven't taken Ashlynn to pre-school because I just want to spend time with her and stay home. It also helps saving some gas in the car since her school is on the opposite side of town.
Ashlynn update: She shocks me everyday. She is so full of personality, brains and beauty that I really am in for trouble in her teen years. She can now easily identify 15 letter of the alphabet by sound and name (out of order). She is constantly sounding out the first letter of words. She is also quite the little fish in her swim class. She should be moving up in classes very soon! We are also working on cleaning up after ourselves. It is still a work in progress.
That's about it....I will catch you up again shortly.
