Fall break fun

Jordan and I went hiking today. Devan didn't want to go. It was a nice hike. We walked almost 5 miles around Lake Radnor in Nashville. We took some great pictures but the blogsite can't upload them right now. We saw 7 Whitetail deer, tons of squirrels, lots of chipmunks, and a creepy looking millipede? I'm glad we didn't see any snakes although secretly I wanted to just for the drama and excitement it would have added to the story. I'll upload the pictures tomorrow.

The interview Friday was a bust. The company is a 35-40 minute drive away (without traffic although that route doesn't get too much traffic), they use a mainframe system so I wouldn't be learning or expanding any marketable skills computer wise (in house systems won't help me advance later), and they don't pay as much as I want. I told my recruiter I wasn't interested and she told me she was hoping I would take it to get experience here. Of course she wants me to take the job, she earns money if she places someone there. It really is easier to find a job when you are already employed but this place didn't even have internet access for everyone. I answered the questions well and asked some good questions so I'm happy about that. I typically don't interview well. I've found a few jobs I'll be sending my resume to and am going to sign up with another agency here in town.

Mom is coming out Thurs. Her Aunt Garnet who lives near here is turning 90 this weekend and they are having a big party for her. Since the weather is so nice I'm planning outdoor activities. :) There will be no getting out of them this time by blaming it on the weather.

I heard on the radio this morning that ya'all are going through a dry spell and won't be out of it all winter! How's about that for your first winter??? :P

Hugs!!
