Occupé

Occupied. Sorry I haven't posted lately, but things have been a bit crazy around here lately. My Mom has recently started a new, full-time job out of the home. My Dad is in New Jersey again. My work schedule is changing and getting more complicated everyday. I found out yesterday that the owner isn't able to open the new store on Batesville RD as planned, but is going to have me work the stand on 291. I even get to drive the company flat-bed truck! I have always liked driving different vehicles, so I think that will be fun. I also miss driving a truck since my dad sold our F250 monster truck (my first car). It chugged a ton of gas, was broken down almost more often than it ran, did not have a CD player, or air conditioning, but it was one of the biggest non-commercial things on the road, sounded amazing, and was a lot of fun to drive! My boss also plans to work me everyday, so that will be nice for my checking account! Also, since I'm not the only person working this stand, it should be easier for me to get off for some trips I want to take over the Summer. I have a family reunion coming up, and I'm pretty sure I need to make another trip to G-ville sometime soon, I'm really starting to miss my friends!

In addition to working at the Orchard, I've been trying to advance my job search. An extended family member of mine has recently started working for a company in Alachua, FL that handles donor tissues for transplant. I am excited by the idea of returning to the greater Gainesville area, although it is far from my family again. At this point, I'm applying for any career job that I will be able to afford to take. RTI (the Alachua company) isn't currently hiring Microbiologists, but there is one tech job I'm looking into, and I plan to send them a resume to see if anything happens. I've also found a staffing agency in NC that handles Lab personel exclusively, so I've sent them a resume as well. As for now I'll just be selling peaches and waiting for a sonic boom.
It's a busy week and an even busier time in my life...stay tuned..I'll try to update more often!
