I'm Not Dead Yet
I have been having some trouble posting to blogspot the last couple of attempts. I think that it is due to an update that is requiring pictures be uploaded from the picasa website, but I am not sure. I haven't wanted to take the time to sit down and figure it out, and that is why it has been so long since my last post.
Work is going very well. I am really enjoying the freedom and autonomy here in Yakima. We have only been here for 2 months, but I can say that I am quite pleased with the choice to come work here. That having been said... several of my co-workers are quite unhappy with their income, and how the changes in the call schedule have decreased their take-home pay. I have not worked here long enough to have seen the difference, but I am told that it is and will be a substantial decrease in income. 3 of the guys have been actively exploring other opportunities for work. Never in my life did I think that some day I would make a 6 figure income, and think that I wasn't making enough money! It is a weird position to be in.
Susan has been talking to several pharmacies in the area, and has 5 offers at this time. The process of license transfer is cumbersome, but she has finally submitted all of the paperwork required to receive an ATT (authorization to test) for the law exam for the state. When that comes she can select a test date and sit for the law exam. She has been studying for it off and on since we moved here.
My brother-in-law came to Yakima a week and a half ago to pick up the truck. I had promised him that when I graduated he could have it, and so he came down and drove it home two weekends ago. By all accounts it is running well, and he is enjoying the new addition to his family. I miss the truck, and will miss it much more come hunting season, but right now I am enjoying my new little Nissan Sentra. We had narrowed down our list to the Sentra and the Civic, and chose the Sentra due to the standard items that were options on the Civic, and the salesman. The Civic salesman gave me the "chick" line. "If you don't want to buy the car from me it means you don't like me". That was reason enough to walk out. I liked the Civic just fine, but that really put me off.
I will figure out how to post pictures again soon, and once again be boring you with my photos.
