Job Updates

Can't remember who knows what about our jobs but we have em!

Danielle has been working at Star Bucks for a week and a half now. There are a lot of good things about it. It's only 3 blocks away so she can walk, we get 30% in store merchandise, drinks, and a free pound of coffee per week. awesome. She'll be working around 32 hours a week, and this will give her time to find more of a career oriented position instead of taking the first thing that comes along to her.

This week I just started working for a place called C a s e y family programs. We do programs and support for foster families and foster kids. It is a really good work environment and every one is very friendly. I'm doing a combined job, where I do applications support and development. Meaning... if you can't accomplish a task within a computer program you would email me your question and then I answer it. It also means if there's a problem with the software, web page, etc. Then I would fix that as well. Currently I'm training which doesn't mean much, so I don't have a lot to say about it. But I do have a lot to say about my cubical which is set up against a window. It looks out onto the Puget Sound (boats, bi-planes), and on clear days I can see the mountains. This is definitely a step up from working in a pole barn and being surrounded by pastel colors.

So thats the update, I've been watching Seattle temps compared to Winona Lake/Warsaw. While it wasn't 80 degrees here monday, it's been generally warmer here than home. so ha ha.

your computer's doing you a disservice, i think. that's why you still need me for a stalker. i could spell for you, and then it would be correct. ;-)

Good to hear you two are doing well...mountains, boats, bi-planes, thats a lot better than my view...that kind of stuff could make a bad job good.

Hey Travis.. I just got around to checking out your blog. Your dad gave me the link to it last month. Great pics! I'm dying to know what year your Ford truck is. Welcome to the West! Love uncle Rick (from AZ).

Uncle Rick! hey the truck was an f250 1982, Windsor 351. We had a lot against us when the drive shaft let go. Mainly no place to keep it, so we had to junk it.
