Falling onto Place

I am quite relieved that things are starting to come together.

I start work on Monday, My Apartment will be ready on the 17th, I have scheduled to have my cable, phone, internet and utilities turned on. I have opened a checking account here and I have been shopping for used furniture for the apartment.  It has been along time since things felt like there were going my way, WHEW!!!!

Paul rode the city bus home from school without a hitch.  YEA!!!! but it is not snowing yet....

That is what is happening here, how about you?

18 Months

I have been out of work for 18 months.  That is a long time, a real long time to send out resumes and go on job interviews and not impressing them enough to get the job. It took selling off and giving away all our belongings except what would fit in my van and moving Paul and I to Lincoln, NE 900 miles away.

Mary kept telling me "come to Lincoln, you'll find a job here"  18 months later she was right. I was offered a job today by Dell Information Services. from what i understand is 30 plus health insurances have contracted out their customer service to Dell, and I will work in their inbound call center fielding these calls. And the best part for me is health insurance kicks in immediately!!!!  Did I mention that i have only been here 3 weeks?  I guess i should say that I have the job only if I pass a criminal background check and a drug test. I'm not worried.

Work should start Sept 13th.  Wish me luck!
