Enfin et Finale (Un)

Finally and Finale (One). Finally, I am back online. The internet still is not working perfectly, but is much better. The Cable Guy is coming out Sunday to work on our "borderline" high-speed internet connection. Yesterday I posted a comment on my last entry (as I was able to post a comment but not a new entry) that gave an update. I doubt many people read it so here it is again:

I've decided not to go to California...they were only able to offer the possibility of an office job so I declined the second interview. The inside job coupled with the change from a road trip to a flight just made the whole thing seem much less adventurous than what I initially envisioned. I'd be flying out to CA and then spending most of my time indoors, so I didn't see why that was better then working outside here, making more money, and going on several vacations I've got lined up. The only thing that I will truly miss will be the time spent with you, Rob. I was looking forward to the fun times, but I'm sure there will be future opportunities to hang out, at least I hope there will be.

I'm working full-time at the Orchard this Summer.

I finally joined the church choir and had my first practice with them on Wednesday...It was amazing. They were very welcoming and instantly made me feel like part of the group. I should have joined sooner! Tuesday we also started going to a new Women's Bible Study, the first meeting had a bunch of introduction stuff, but I think once it settles in, it will really be a great study.

Z and his Mom visited last weekend. It was a great visit. It was really nice for my family to be able to get to know his Mom better. The only problem with the visit was that it was too short!

I was hit on at work the other day. This guy with a really thick accent (maybe Russian?) asked if I was married or had a boyfriend and then asked me out to a lunch or something. He was actually kinda cute, but the fact that he was somekind of foriegner (not that I'm against them or anything, but the desparation seemed enough to raise Green-Card suspicions) and the fact that he came on to a co-worker last week, led me to politely decline the offer. It was still nice to be asked. I seem to have an affinity for weird random desperate people...

Today my boss sent me to the bank to get some change. I gave the teller $100 in 20s and asked for 4 10s and the rest in 5s. She then gave me $600 in 5s and was giving me another $400 in 10s when I informed her that I'd only given her $100. She gasped at her error and thanked me repeatedly for my honesty. I had nearly $1000 in my hand for a minute there though...man, wish I could have kept it...

hey rhonda (french accent)!

i read your posts a few days back but i'm just now getting to commenting...this will just be a quickie.

anyways,
my life has taken yet another 180 degree turn. i had an interview with Pitney Bowes to be an entry-level sales exec. and they offered me the job. woo! i'm uber excited. i start june 7th.

so,
this means that i will have to call Kennolyn Camps today or tomorrow and apologize profusely that i won't be able to be a camp counselor anymore. i've even already bought my plane ticket so i'm gonna have to take a loss on the cancelation of that. sucks. :-/

which means,
there will be an immediate opening for a camp counselor! (for you!!) if you're still interested.

plus,
CALL ME! it's been too long since we've chatted over the phone.

hope all is well,
Robert (french accent)
