I GOT A JOB!!!

Today I started a new job at a small local transportation engineering firm.  I got the job by calling up the owner when I was laid off.  See, we worked on a major project together (but different aspects).  I remembered enjoying all the guys from the company, and also all the positive feed back I had got from them.  I'm able to work the exact schedule I worked at Atwell (Monday - Thursday, 7-2:30, Fridays off)... and I get a few extra holidays.  I will miss Burt though, because today the office was SO quiet.

I'm so grateful I was able to find a good job as quickly and painless as I did.

 

I'll post more when Brandon gets home and I can go run.

*****************************************

I ran 4.41 miles in the rain with some serious headwind.  It was rough... but felt great!  My right knee is a bit upset.

******************************************

I had to add this...  I think Burt will appreciate it.  If anyone looks at these pictures and wonder what the heck... send me a personal message.  In the meanwhile, Burt... Enjoy!!!

Crushin' 2009!

Good for you Camille. Happy to hear things are working out for you in the end. Keep running and keep us posted.

Why you pompous, little arrogant back stabber. How could you?! I am shocked and appalled. How dare you drink that. It was a symbol of everything I hold dear.

From Burt on Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 11:51:08

LOL!!!

From Camille on Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 20:12:41

Thanks Foxy Oxy...

Burt - LOL!!! Sorry... laughing too hard to reply.

Camille, congrats on your new job.

I happy for you.

Wish you the best.

I would miss Burt too.

Glad you were able to bounce back.

Mike, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
