Time to update again

Wow! Is it April almost? This year has been flying by so fast I am not sure if I can keep up. So to update on what has been going on, late January I was hired on at Focus, a sales rep job to sell this product that in 15 lessons you will be a better you. Depression, drugs, anxiety and all that will be gone if you listen to these 15 lessons and follow what they want you to do, you will be cured. Was on the phone for about a week working graves, when i was having problems with my heart. Long story short, i was able to transfer to another project, selling cable, internet and phone for 5-6 different companies. Well they didn't want to work with my on the schedule and at this time I had a pretty nasty cold which came close to bronchitis and since I really couldn't talk much they let me go. That was on President's Day. That Tues-Thurs I was back on-line and going pretty much business to business working on finding a job. That Friday, I was sitting at home, when i got a call from Bogey's. I had sent my resume in earlier this week and had sent my resumes a few times in the past but never heard from them. Well this time they wanted me to come in 30 mins from the call for an interview. Mind you this was at 7pm. So i quickly showered, shaved and ran down there to be interviewed. Jon(Pheonix) showed me the new menu he designed, the kitchen, told me what I'd be doing and asked several more questions about me and my experience. It went rather well I thought and he said he would call me the next day to give a yes or no. Saturday came and i waited, and was about to give up when the owner called and said if I could come in and audition for that night. Just a few hours and see how it goes. Went in there at 7pm got out at 10pm and not even an hour into working, Jon was like, I like you, you do good work, you learn fast, I am gonna hire you. And so i have been there just over a month. And I love it. Its hard on my legs, feet and back but it is so much worth it. The menu and recipes are lined out so we don't have much to think about but to make it like he wants it. We've had to tweak with a recipe here and there, but it is working out great. He had another person working with me training me, but he was a tweaker and ditched us by going to California for a "week." He is still there in Cali and called Jon on Friday last week and asked if he still had a job. This guy called 3 hours before his shift and said he was going to Cali. I got over-time that week and last week. And after Jon got that call that he was leaving Jon put the word out that he was hiring for another cook. He interviewed a few, one he wanted, but when asked to come in for an audition, the guy never showed, never called, nothing. So he called another person and I am now training him. It's been 2 weeks since I had 2 days off during the week. I am hoping to have it this week. I do have to work Sundays, but at least i am able to attend Sacrament and get a boost for the week. It is not the ideal job I was looking for, but for right now, it is where I need to be to take care of my family and do what is necessary to get what we need to take care of our bills and such. Oh and on top of all this, the van decided to have issues. we already knew the CV joints were bad, the plugs were not doing what they needed to be doing and the battery quit on us. So nearly $1000 later, yes you read that right, $1000. it is up and running where it should be. So now we need to baby it until we get it paid off and go from there. So that's pretty much 3 months in a nut shell. Very busy life. And to top it all off, Chris' 14 year old still does not understand the difference between right and wrong. He was told not to come out of bed while Chris was picking me up from work tonight. She was recording CSI:Miami for us to watch when I got home. We started to watch it. Half way through, it switched over to cartoons. Yeah. And to top it off, he is sneaking food in bed, and the bathroom. The Palm, which Chris plays with at night before she goes to bed is missing, from our bedroom. So tomorrow, he is getting a choice, Shape up, or Ship out. We are done with his lying, he thieving, his actions that he tells us, one thing and does another. And i know most of you will say, its just a phase, being 14 yada, yada, yada. When this is a daily, constant thing, its not a phase. Its not his age. We are tired of it. and we are not going to put up with it any longer. Besides, he will be going back to his grandparents house again when we move this summer. We are looking at maybe Arizona. Will have to see how the job market is there and see if I can get a Cooks job at a Casino. We shall see. well it's late and I need to hit the sack. Night all and may your dreams come true.
