I have so missed working on my art journal. Even though we have been here a month, things haven't seemed to really settle in and allow me time to create. I was reviewing all the lessons I have missed and I thought that Week 7 would be a good place to start. Week 7 is about getting passed the sludge or lack of inspiration and just completing a project. The task was to complete a page using one color, one image, one quote. It feels great to have a page completed, but it is hard to just leave it alone and not add more to it.

I am just thrilled to be back in the challenge!

i know, i know, i haven't been blogging much. I just hate blogging when I don't have anything interesting going on. Now that I started my job and everything is in a rhythm, I don't have much to say.
I will say that training has been good. It can be boring at times, but I can see the value in everything that is taught. So first week almost complete and then I will be finding out my real schedule which makes me happy.

unconscious mutterings

my heart goes out to all those in London. My prayers are with you.

Thanks for all the support! My job will be working in call center. It seems like a fun environment to work in. I love that fact that it is 24 hours so I can choose a schedule that will work best for me.

Here is a repeat of the post I left on our family blog detailing the interview process:


The interviews

Let me tell you a little more about my interviews and my job offer. Yesterday I had a 9:00 interview. I had to wear that ugly top again. You know, the one from my first interview. Did I tell you about that ugly top I had to buy at Walmart? Well it is this old lady blouse with a matching tank top. Yuck, yuck, yuck, but I had to buy something more dressy for my interview last week and this was all I could find. But I digress....
Well I wore this same ugly top. I didn't really go to out of my way to fix my hair all crazy or anything. I was myself, ugly top and all! I wasn't that nervous either which was strange since I didn't really prepare. I just hit it off with the interviewer. It was fun and relaxing, well as relaxing as an interview can be. My answers to all those difficult questions just flowed right out. We laughed and had a nice conversation. She set up my 2nd interview at 1:00 pm. I thought oh, no, here comes the TOUGH interviewer. The first interviewer was the nice one and the 2nd interviewer would be mean. I was definitely more nervous for the 2nd one. Well, I get in the interview with the 2nd lady and she is just as cool. Totally laid back and I actually had a good 2nd interview. So now it comes time for the testing portion. They stick you on a PC and give you a call center simulation. You have a chat conversation with 3 people and 2 phone calls. Well, I am doing pretty good up until the last phone call. Man, I hit the wrong answer and everything went downhill after that. I just knew I had blew it. They sent me back to the waiting room while they pull up the results. The first interview lady comes out. She looks really serious and she calls me back.
I said "I didn't pass did I?"
She said "Oh you did great!"
I said "I missed an answer and it just went downhill."
(I was so sad looking.)
So she sits me down and very seriously says well, thanks for coming in.
(WAAHH! I didn't get it!)
She then says "Well, what did you think of the tour?"
My response of course was "I thought is was GREAT!!!"
(nothing....just silence)
Then she pulled out the paperwork and said how would you like to work for us?

AAGGHH!!!!

YES, OF COURSE!!

She started cracking up and said that she wanted to hire me immediately, but she had all these hoops to jump through.

Well, I filled out all the paperwork and I had my picture taken for my badge. I am getting ready to leave and I realize I don't have a clue how much money this job pays.
I asked the assistant and she didn't know either.

I am still in the dark about how much I get paid, but I am so siked about having a job that it doesn't even matter.

I felt that the Lord led me through this whole process and whatever I get paid will be enough.

So that's the story!
