First Day

Ok I still like it - going to be in training for about 4 MONTHS which is amazing - no wonder they have such a reputation. For an interesting sidebar one of the lead trainers (we have a 5 trainer team for the 13 trainees) has a PHD in Speech Pathology...or something like that...that thing that Traci went to school for. And now in his old age he works for a major insurance company...though he worked in his field in California until Reagan got done with the education system.

Ok that said I'll probably post more tomorrow - I'm exhausted even though all we did was meet a million people, go over employment benes and junk and tour the place.

Woo Hoo!!!

For those who do or don't know - I've been applying for a pretty decent job since mid-APRIL. Not what I want to do with life but pays the bills plus full benefits. Multiple interviews (3 or 4), system testing, mock call testing, then the background BS...

FINALLY got notified that I am being offered a position AND the pay is about 3-4k more a year than they originally said! Not to mention full great benefits from day one, which I really need so I can eventually fix my thumb...luckily my typing doesn't take that thumb much :)

So I'm thrilled and I start on the 11th - had been thinking about camping that weekend but may wait now (the 9th is our 5-year anniversary)...

So here is the website - another insurance personal-care type job but I guess it's what I'm good at... funny as I am not a very nice person if you know me!

Now...once training of 3-4 months is done...I can go to dog shows again! Until training is over there is no days off but at least it's Monday thru Friday and the only show I have planned is local (Still wish I could go to Bandon...sigh...)

Jasmine, a Kimi daughter

from her first litter (aka the unfortunate cosmetic disaster litter). Jasmine had a kink/stubby tail and a half white face. Cute little gal tho...

You think YOU got topline problems? Kate is no longer allowed to complain.

I think her favorite thing is water

Natural herding dog!
