Long time, no type...

Wow, has it really been since the end of August since I last wrote in my blog? Good gracious! Well, I have lost another family member, another one that I only sort of knew - she was a second cousin or something of my grandmother's. The service is this Friday in Houston, but I don't think I can go. I'm still too new, and she isn't a close enough relative that I would qualify for bereavement leave from work.

Last Thursday and Friday I traveled to Houston on business for some training. I got to meet one of the virtual recruiters that I support and hang out with him, and we had a blast - he's crazy! I didn't really learn very much because I've been using the system for over a month now and I caught on to it pretty quickly. I caught a 6:30 am flight which meant I had to wake up at 3am to get to the airport - that made me very sleepy. And the combination of already knowing most of the stuff she was teaching and being so sleepy made for a lot of nodding off. I felt bad, and apologized to her later.

Over the weekend I had a lot of homework to catch up on, and a lot of housecleaning. Guess which one got done? Not the housecleaning! So hopefully this weekend the girls and I can work together to get the house back in shape. Not that it's awful - just dishes needing put in the dishwasher and some clutter in the family room on the table. But we were doing a lot better and we'd all like to get back to that. This weekend I have some more homework - lots of Algebra and some Government work too. And a Government test.

Work is going great - I really, truly love my job! For the first time in years I have managed to get through the entire first month without calling in. I think part of the reason I missed so much work in my jobs before was a combination of being so unhappy in general, and then not liking the job. But this job is great - for someone who is doing recruiting support, I have already managed to get two hires - woohoo me!

Well, gotta go, gotta get the girls to school and me to work. Type to you later readers!
