Today was a pretty good day. That is, with the exception of my lawn mower tearing up. I was expecting a 7:00 wake up call to get ready and take my daughter to daycare, and at about 9:00 my daughter comes walking into the bedroom and wakes me up.
Thats fine, I didn't have anywhere to be in an urgent manner, just had to get her to daycare before lunch and nap time. We got up and ready, had pancakes for breakfast (not just any pancakes, but BLUEBERRY pancakes,) and got her to daycare at 10:00.
Came home, started to mow until the mower messed up. My uncle called and we decided to go hit a small bucket of golf balls and then go to my nanny's and mow. He did the push and trim and I did the riding.
Went to pick up daughter from daycare and then went to go eat with my mom (nana). G loves her nana and we ended up staying there until about 9:00, which is an hour past G's bedtime, but she loved it.
Tomorrow is a stay at home day. J gets back from the business trip and we are going to hang around here and wait on her.
Some of the stuff I ordered for work arrived today. That means that I can now be one step closer to closing on this business prospect that I have lined up for an Oct. 1 enrollment date.
I found out today through an email from my boss' boss that my boss has decided to step down from a manager to a regular "associate" or agent. Not sure the motive behind this, but I'm sure it's a combination of headache and money.
I still didn't hear anything from either of the jobs which I have applied for. Hopefully I will hear something tomorrow or Monday. I would rather wait til Monday if it means it's going to be good news.
That's all for now.

Randomness
In the true spirit of the name of the page... craigs-random-blog, and the spirit of my mind, heres a touch of randomness...
After watching C-SPAN for about 30 minutes tonight while channel surfing, I realized that our NC Rep. Foxx (R) is a freaking idiot and that Ohio's Reps. for dist 17 and 13 (i think) are actually on the ball with what is wrong and needs to be done to correct a lot of the problems that this country is facing. As you can tell... I'm a democrat. A PROUD democrat. A proud democrat that until recently has lived in a red state... No, I didn't move, but for the first time in a long time, NC voted blue on the last presidential election.
I am up at 11:30 typing my 2nd or 3rd ever blog simply because my wife is on a business meeting out of town and my daughter is at my in-laws' tonight. I think that I am going to like the layout of blogger.com.
I've interviewed for 2 different jobs in the last 2 days. Yesterday was for the customer care call center where my mom works. I would basically be handling complaints all day (a far stretch from every other day of my life). I feel that the interview went ok, but I still have that bad feeling of not getting the job. I think that may be because I am wanting it too much. I hate where I am now. I am currently in insurance sales. I have been in sales for the last 19 months, and the last year has been insurance. I simply dont like a commission only based job.
My interview today was with a company that reconditions hospital equipment. If I get the position, I will be in charge of maintaining their webpage inventory and some marketing for other websites that they list their products on. I would probably also be their pc tech guy, which would rock.
As far as which job would I rather do... The web and pc job hands down. The tough decision comes down to driving distance (one is 12 miles, one is 40-45), pay, benefits, and potential for growth and stability. All of this is assuming that I am even offered the positions. Because of my luck, I have a feeling that I am going to be offered either both jobs, or neither.
I guess that I'll leave with that for tonight. I am getting sleepy and making too many spelling mistakes that I'm having to correct.

on the hunt
Grrr... I forget how hard and stressful it is to try to find a job around here. The current economy and unemployment rate arent helping matters any. I feel fairly confidant about an interview that I had today. The one I had yesterday seemed to go ok, also. However, I fear that I may not get it for some reason.
