It's Been A While

I'm sitting here in the living room, listening to the "Singers & Swing" channel on Music Choice (Time Warner Cable) - I love listening to old school songs. Connie Evingson is singing "I love being here with you" (Peggy Lee). I guess it's just the band geek in me, but I love me some big band music, ya know, songs with real instruments in them, not all digitized like songs are lately.


I watched the Michael Jackson Memorial today, missed parts of it, but I think I saw most of the good stuff. Brooke Shields made me cry when she talked about "Smile" and then when Jermaine sang it... then Paris Jackson made me cry. So sad.


I had a telephone interview yesterday, and an in-person interview this morning at Fred Loya Insurance company. They called me earlier today, after my interview, and asked me to return tomorrow for the second part of the interview process and take a test. I wish I knew what kind of test, but I'm not really worried. I am really, really hoping to get this job. It's, actually, exactly what I've been looking for since I started searching down here in the Valley - after realizing it's slow going searching in Austin. Fred Loya is a company that is both down here AND up in Austin. Also, it is mostly a sit down at a desk job and talk on the phone/use a computer. That is a VERY welcome change to what I've done for the past 8 years. The thought of not having to stand on my feet for 6 hours or more makes me giddy. They said that the job is full time, 12-9pm plus a few hrs on Saturdays, pays $24,500/yr, and after being there for a year I will be able to take a test and become a licensed insurance adjuster. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I'm pretty excited. I asked Jeremy today how he'd feel about me, maybe, having to stay down here for another year and he said that with a job like that and pay like that, he could wait LOL I'm not positive I'd have to wait a year to transfer, but I think most jobs have something like that when it comes to transferring. I'm hoping to be able to look at job openings from within the company and maybe an opening in Austin will open up before and I could see if it'd be possible. Who knows... I hope I hope I hope! I never imagined myself doing insurance.... EVER lol... but we'll see how it goes!


Another year away from Jeremy seems really unbearable, but it would be a good idea to save up as much money as possible, AND especially pay off my debts. I'm hoping to have control and not spend so much money on lunches n stuff. The office I'd be working in is only like 7 minutes away from home, so maybe I could run home for lunch! I miss my Jeremy, but it'll be nice to go up to be with him with a guaranteed job and money in savings. I love him so much and he's being so super supportive :) LOVE YOU HONEY!

Hugs to all!
