Job experience and odds n' ends.

Well, I have survived my first 2 days as a technician! I've actually surprised myself at how fast I'm picking things up, sure I need reminders here and there, but it's all good. Yes, I have even made dr. appointments, helped a lil' girl learn to put contacts in, and filed things. I've watched how the other techs operate the machines and my fingers itch to do 'em too. Soon enough. I need to get the hang of the front first. Just like anywhere else we have the grouchy costumers, old people who can't hear diddly squat, the people who insist you stop your job and attend to their needs right then and there, and can't forget the impatient talk a million mph car salesmen who pace around the room and throw their debit card at you. Adventurous? Yes. The workers are friendly and I think it'll be a good job.

Those who don't know, the eye clinic is in the mall, which makes it nice to meander to sales, the food court, and to actually get away from work while on break. It's also close to home and my hubby has been able to come visit me - yay! These first few days have been hard, because I work 9 am-7pm and he works 5pm-11pm. We've come up with ways to see each other though :) .

So lately, our friend Bonnie has been so nicely picking me up from work, but today she was running late, so I decided to go shop around. I was looking for some nice work pants and I kept seeing this guy in the same stores I was going to. I was on the phone with Jaren and thought nothing of it, just assuming he liked the same stores as me. Finally after like the 3rd store I look up and see this stalker guy coming towards me, and he asks, "do you have a boyfriend around here?". Kinda taken back by his questions, I gave him a funny look and said, "I have a husband." He looked down at my ring finger and sulked off. Creepy, but I gotta give the guy kudos for coming up to me. While I was on the phone. Bleh. One disadvantage of getting dolled up for work is weird guys checking me out. Yeah caught two more guys later checking out my butt, which has expanded, making my pants super tight. It's like wow can you be any more obvious? I know it sounds cocky, but having weirdo old people check you out is so not flattering.

So when I made it home tonight, my dearest husband had cleaned our messy apartment, cleaned our disasterous room, and garnished the whole place with Christmas decorations. There was a poinsetta table cloth,put up our make shift, sad yet cute Christmas tree up, and various Christmas knick knacks put up. And a sweet love note on my computer. It was quite the surprise!

I think we're finally escaping Jakes! I was so fortunate to get my job, and Jaren has a call back interview tomorrow with America First credit union. We've been so blessed with jobs, it's wonderful. Cross your fingers he gets it!!

Upcoming and exciting news: Thanksgiving Thursday, temple night tomorrow *pending*, girl's night Friday. And here soon CHRISTMAS!

To all those risking their lives for after Thanksgiving sales, enjoy it for me, I have to work. Be safe and get there early!

Love, Jess
