Big Decision!
Permalink  

Have you ever made a decision about something, and even before you act on it, you know it's the right thing?  I have decided to go back to work.  That is to say, a real job... in the real world... with real money!  I'm so excited!!  Amy went shopping with me tonight to get some "work" clothes. 


But don't panic.  The Shepherd's Arms is not going anywhere!  Or would that be, the shepherd's arms AREN'T going anywhere?  Oh, well... you know what I mean.

Don't worry, Phil...after 48 years, I'm still not one of "them"!  I'm one of you guys, sort of...


I'm going to go back to "corporate America".  Amy's trying to get me job at her company.  Then I would be in the same building as Amy & Korey.


Shelly, no shoes yet.  I HATE buying shoes, so I put that off.  I know, it's totally unladylike, huh?

Jeanine, what happened to your picture?


Shelly, I'm not sure I trust Homer's fashion advice!! 


Are you two counting the hours?  You will check in with us while you are together, right?

If Amy is your boss MamaLisa, does that mean she is going to make you clean up your workspace??

Well, I've finally started feeling well enough to actually pursue the job thing, so last night I filled out the resume on Monster.com.  I only got 3 calls today because of it!!  Darn, maybe I'll do better tomorrow!! 


I have an interview tomorrow with a temp agency that called.  One of the other calls was also from a temp agency, but I haven't called them back yet.  The other one is from ADP and I'm waiting for someone to call me to set up an interview.  That's the one (so far) that I really want.  Pray for me as I'm nervous about the interview & typing test, and sleep is still often an illusive thing!


God is really moving in our lives right now.  Keep Teddy in your prayers, too!

Update? How did the typing test go? Are you back to being a business woman again? I hope you got three more calls today as well.

Take Care

The typing test & other computer program tests went well.  And I have another interview set up tomorrow morning, but I'm having MAJOR second thoughts.  Not just about the job, but about working in general.  I've not felt that great today, still effects of coming off of Cymbalta, I'm sure.  My house is so messy and so full of junk, & I'm so behind in some accounting stuff I do for Teddy, that I can't imagine being gone all day every day plus fighting traffic early in the morning and after 5:00.


Teddy & I have had a very stressful evening talking about all of this & worrying about what to do.  Please keep us both in your prayers.  He is considering his options, too.


Where are those 100 foot letters in the sky when you need to hear from God?

Trust me, I understand stress well.  *sigh* Too well.


Anyway, what did you decide to do? I thought it would be ironic if Amy were your boss though!

Yeah, Amy would love to be my boss!  But I think for right now, I'm not going to pursue anything else.  What I would LOVE to do is work at home.  Teddy moved his office home this weekend, and I'm looking forward to him being here more.  I'll miss going into the studio, but I can still go there when Alan has someone in to record.  I know I'm still battling the Cymbalta crap - now I'm down to bad body aches at the end of the day, but I'm sleeping pretty well.


Boy, that was a rambling paragraph!  But to answer your question, Phil, I haven't really decided what to do.  Anybody know how I can earn money at home - without selling diet pills or sending out spam emails?

Well I have a suggestion, but that entails learning various web programming languages to do it :(
