Another one...

I'm a Mazda RX-8!



You're sporty, yet practical, and you have a style of your own. You like to have fun, and you like to bring friends along for the ride, but when it comes time for everyday chores, you're willing to do your part.


Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.




I promise, I will post something real in the near future!

everything for a reason...

As an update to yeasterdays post...

Yesterday the Lowes hiring manager also left a message on my home machine (I talked to him, and said no, on my cell phone). So this morning when I went to listen to the message, it said that he will not be in the office until Monday. So at that point I decided that if I heard back from Grossmans with a schedule before then, then I will not call Lowes back, but if I did not hear from Grossmans by Monday then I would go ahead and call Lowes...

Following me?

So, anyway, this afternoon I got a call from Grossmans with my schedule for next week. So I took it as a sign. But I think that perhaps I will take this summer as a training session and perhaps next year (or possibally in the Fall/Winter if I am only seasonal at Grossmans) apply at Home Depot and Lowes again with more Nursery training under my belt. Somewhere that has benefits and a 401k =)

So...there you go...a bit of drama, but not really =)

One of my managers at CJ Banks just got a part-time job at a local liquer store. Which is pretty cool, for me, anyway. Here's why:
I just recently started making sushi (no raw fish, just veggies so far) and I was thinking of having a little dinner party and serving sushi. I also wanted to serve some Sake (pronounce, for those who don;t know, like Ss-ahh-kay) which they sell at that liqure store. SO now she get me some at a discount (hopefully)!

Anyway!

well...now what?

Today on my drive to work (part-time job at CJ Banks), I get a call from Lowes wanting to know if I am still interesting in interviewing with them. At that moment I was breaking the law by talking on the cell phone and I was not really thinking, so I said, no, sorry I accepted another job. But the I got to work and the ladies all yelled at me and said that I should interview with him anyway. I think they are right, I should of said yes when he called.

SO, now tomorrow I am going to call him back and say that after some consideration if he was still willing I would like to have an interview with him. I have not gotten a schedule from Grossmans yet. I have not even filled out any paperwork.

I bet Lowes offers health insurance.

I'll keep you updated.

April reading and other stuff...

So last month my reading project started of being "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire. It started off really good and it was interesting, but I was really not into reading at all last month. So, I read some of my Kenshin manga (3 of them). I did finish the ones I wanted to, so that works.
Which Kenshin Charachter are you?
I'm:





Anyway...
So, now my first project is to read "V for Vendetta". Then I want to go see the movie. So far I am really enjoying it, I don't so much like the art of it (it is in comic book form), but I really like the story so far.

After "V" I am thinking about reading "Jane Eyre". I saw it on TV a few weeks ago and I really liked it, so I am thinking I should perhaps read it now. =) If that starts doing nothing for me, I think I will read "Charlie and The Chocolate Factory".

Hrm...I don;t remember the the "other stuff" was that I mentioned in the title....
I guess I'll be back soon!

Just me,
Fran =)

*cheers*

I have a full time job!
*does a little dance*
Grossmans Nursery, in Penfield. It is a very nice place where everyone has always been SO nice to me whenever I go there. I will be working in the nursery and learning alot about annuals and fertalizer and such. Lots to learn, but they are more than willing to teach.
I will be starting next week, she will be calling me on Monday with my schedule.
$8.00 and hour...better than the $6.85 the cinema offered! and 40+ hours!

More to come...
Like how my March reading went and my reading plans for April
and what has been going on in my front yard!

Just me,
