So even more nervious and confussed. Even thoe they want me the Military Ocupational Skill attached to the job I don't quallify for. Can't win for loosing I guess.

Why can't anything be easy for once these last couple of years.

Kinda nervious about this second interview this afternoon. Never had a call back on a military job before.

My birthday is the 31st but thanks all for the Happy Birthdays.

So I come to blog with lots to say but when I get here everything goes blank.

Watching baseball isn't amazing wht some of those pitchers can do with the ball.

We will see if anyone remebers something this year unlike the past.

Been a while sense I have actually typed a blog. Things seem really different now a days. Feels like I'm in a rut lately like Ground Hog Day. Seems like a lot of people have been staying away lately from the site. It has changed so much. A lot of people I miss talking to.

BB, Dixie, MD, Sexy mom, Strawberry, and many more. So many have left.


The finding a job front has taken a strange turn. I have come in secound on the past 5 interviews I've had. I got a call from my cousin and another soldier about a week ago that one of the seargents that interviewed me was looking to get ahold of me. Seems they don't like the person that come in first at the interview. They do a point system hiring here in the Army National Guard. And 4 year collage gives you a ton of points I only have 2. But I have never been persude for a job before thoe feels great. I have a second interview on Wednsday. Wish me luck.

Enough for now latter.

Started out with me coming home last Thursday to get for a family reunion in North Dakota. Left on friday to head out. Reuion went fine it was in Wahpton, ND were my family is from. Big events: Had to take the youngest into the Emergency room for an ear infection, Brought homa a calico kittin now named Cloe. Came home Sunday night.

Monday morning up at the crack of dawn with the kids for a job interview at the Aviation unit. This is the sdame bunch we have been training to go to Iraq. Got there and the interviewers were running late and I had the kids in the car cause we are runniong out to my parents to see my Aunt up from Florida. The 1SG from one of the units told me to bring the kids in he would show them around while I did my interview. After my interview the kids came up and said thanks dad we got to climb around in the helicopters. Than off to dads were the rest of the day was uneventful.

Tuesday had a MRI on my left knee. Was told there is extensive damage to the cartaledge. But this isn't even the bad news of the day. Now starts my next 2 1/2 days at the bank:

So I was told that when I transfered my account the Bill Pay system set up on it wouldn't transfer. I had some bills set up to be paid on the old account. I would need to redo them on the old account. Well, I go to look at the bank on line and guess what it does. -$1500.00 or there abouts left in my account and the line of credit is maxed out. So off to the bank I go and find out its a bill pay problem this is seperate from the bank. So I call them and they can't help me cause even thoe its a joint account I'm not in there system because only the primary person transfers over (remember we are now talking about 2 accounts having problems) so I get ahold of X to call and add me to the account. And than call back and guess what when we start talking about account #2 they can't help me so contact X again. Call again and was told we have to wait tel tomorrow because now the Bank is closed.

Next day go into the bank and get on a conference call just to be told "SORRY" payments were made. Serg goes ballistic now. Long story short we got the manger on (it helped I was in the Bank with a higher up) and they at least started trying to get my money back but no promisses. Good to know huh.

Thing learned or make you go HUH.

Follow your first instinct and waite tel everything clears and don't listin to what peoiple say even if you call Bill Pay and they tell you it wont tranfer.

and

You would think if someone is talking to a person at the place that is having a problem and you tel them the account is close make sure there is no more payments set up and let that person know there is. Yep you guessed it again this morning and off to the bank I went again.

Now I am getting out of town and try to have a good time in western Minnesota fishing penniless and $4.00 a gallon gas. At least I'm close to South Dakota so I can buy some fireworks and take some agression out blowing stuff up.

Daughter not only now has the infection but on top of that Swimers ear and can't hear a thing.

So someone tell me why I come home?

Happy Fourth of July all.

Not feeling good again for some reason. Life seems to hit hard once in a while.

It usually take 3 days to get the kids from being pissy and listin to me. And than financial things I thought were done wasn't. So I always haveto get things done while I'm here and never any rest time. I started this trip home with "better get this stuff done or we are going to have a bad couple of days" seemed to help. hehehe threatining help will have to remember that.

Well one more interview tomorrow morning than head back up north to work.

But no rest for the wicked.

Been having a few interviews for work.And it seems while I'm back in the cities I need to pick all our printing up for work. Yay, no break for me.

Came home and established the rules right away and things seem to be ok so far.

Ever have one of those days were everyone you talk to wants to make you feel guilty for no reason.
