Camera Repairman

By the way, you can expect more pics again. My brother fixed my camera this weekend. He saved me between $125-$200!!! That is how much it would cost to send it in to get fixed or "trade up" to something else from Kodak.

The dial that turns on the camera was stuck, making the camera pretty much useless. After calling Kodak and getting that price information, I had decided to save up for a new camera. We were talking about it when Mike was over this weekend. Being the electronic genius that he is, Mike just popped my camera open, figured out what was wrong and proceeded to fix it! Great work Mike! :)

No more books!

So, just for fun while Parry and I were cleaning tonight I decided to make a stack of all the books that I have purchased but not read yet. Check out the picture of the stack on my desk. There are 17 books in this stack!! This is just ridiculous! So, I've given myself a ban on book buying until this stack is finished.

I've really gotten lazy when it comes to reading lately. It seems like I spend most of my free time on the Internet soaking up (sometimes useless) information. So, this will be my motivation to get back to reading again.

It shouldn't be hard, I love sitting outside and reading while taking in some sun. I just need to get back in to the habit.

Hopefully I'll be able to finish this stack by the end of summer (at least!).

Yeah, I have a job!

Great news...I have a job!

We had our "interviews" on Wednesday. The interview consisted of me sitting at a table between the CEO and the Chief of Membership and Program and chatting for about 15 minutes. It was SO not what I expected. I was worried over nothing!

The CEO and CMP wanted me to remain in my current position, but I told them I was looking for a change. So...they told me to chose between the other two jobs I'd applied for. I can honestly say that has never happened to me before! They said: "Just tell us what you want to do, and you can do it!"

Starting July 1st (officially) I'll be a Membership Specialist. What is a Membership Specialist, you ask? Well, it's a lot cooler than the job title sounds! I'll be in charge of recruiting and supporting the efforts of adult volunteers. I'm really excited. I think this is going to be a great fit for me.

Oh yeah, and they gave me a raise. Yeah!

World Wide Web-Awesome!

Okay people....the internet rocks! In the past two months I've been reunited with 4 people from my "past lives". Today one of my best friends from middle school found me on myspace! Now with the help of the internet we can catch up on 12-14 years of separation! How awesome is this?

They took your jerb!

I keep talking about this really funny South Park Episode where the characters say "They took our jerbs!" It's hard to explain but it's pretty funny. I found the sound byte on the South Park website. Enjoy!

It is over yet?

So...I submitted my resume yesterday. I hope I applied for the right positions!!!! We interview May 15-16, less than two weeks away! Time to prepare for that.

I keep telling myself that it is in the hands of someone else now. I did the best I could with my resume and cover letter, now it is up to someone else to put the right people in the right positions. I just hope I'm the right person for one of those positions!

On a lighter note, Parry and I and some of our friends went to see Spiderman 3 last night. Wow! What a great show. I laughed, I cried, I jumped out of my seat. I always seem to get fooled with the previews of the Spiderman movies. Just when I think I know what's going to happen, POW! they change the plot on 'ya! What a thrill.
