Wow, a new post

I know, it has been a little over 2 weeks since my last post. And I haven't been working, so why not post? Well, my computer was down for a little over a week. Seems the kids hit something and downloaded an earlier version of internet explorer and in doing this, not all files were installed. This caused no internet connection for a while. I tried various ways to get it up and running until I just gave up and re-installed windows altogether. So I am good to go now.

Still no word on the job. I go into the unit tomorrow to in-process a new Soldier, so I will be contacting my higher ups to see where we are at. A previous commander has offered me a civilian position with a higher pay grade and $15k more a year. The problem? It is in Riverside, CA. I will take it only if all else fails, but it is not something I want to jump at right away.

I did put in an application at Wal-mart for management as well as re-open my resume on Monster. We will see if I get any hits from either one.

I have seen a few movies recently. PRIVATE VALENTINE with Jessica Simpson. It was pretty stupid, but I got it to see how realistic they protrayed the Army. It suppsedly takes place in Ft. Jackson, SC, but that is where I went to Basic and it looked nothing like it. I also rented W. the movie about George Bush. I got maybe 30-45 minutes into it and shut it off. It was stupid. I also got NIGHTS IN RODANTHE with Diane Lane and Richard Gere. That was a good movie if you are into Romance. I also finally saw for the first time, PET SEMATARY. It probably would have freaked me out as a kid if I watched it back then. MADAGASCAR 2 was funny, but as all Disney sequels go, it didn't meet the expectations of the first one.

Grandparents were here last week. I only got to see them twice for a few hours as I live so far away from where they were staying and didn't really have gas money to go back and forth every day. That and the kids being in school. Anyways, until next time.
