The coffee maker is self cleaning.

I wish everything had a button to self clean. The washer is going, the dryer- even the dishwasher. Twenty minutes ago even the vacuum was running. Yes, it is my night of cleaning. I have cleaned on Friday night for the past two weeks. I like having a clean place to live. So I vacuum, do laundry, clean the kitchen and the bathroom.

This week was somewhat busy. I had an interview with VoiceCurve. I was somewhat skeptical of them because they said you could “work at home” – so approached with caution. I went to the interview the same day our furniture arrived. Lets back up a little and start over.

Monday I went to the pre-screening of “the Hangover” – it was okay. JJ simply loved it, I wasn’t as enamoured about it – but to each their own.

The following day I had two interviews. One with Rose City Personnel (another staffing company who will help look for a job for me) and VoiceCurve. When I started my interview with RoseCity I received a call from the person who would be dropping off our furniture. It was almost 1pm – I couldn’t get home right away, so I called JJ– but he didn’t answer. I told the guy from the office we purchased it from that I would call him when I finished. I got done with my interview with RoseCity and went home to find JJ still asleep. I informed him that our furniture was on it’s way over and that he should get ready so he could help me get it into the apartment.

He agreed. He put on some clothes and wore some sandals, walked outside still half asleep. The first piece of furniture was the couch. It was light (in comparison to the Red couch that I use to have to lug around with a metal frame and reclining chairs attached. No, it wasn’t bad- but JJ couldn’t carry it. He was huffing and puffing, moaning and groaning – unable to get a “handle on it”

We tried to bring it through the front door, but that didn’t work, he told me “I knew it wouldn’t work through the front door” – I was getting aggravated with him, so I told him fine- lets just take it around back. We took it around back and he steps into some mud– not looking where to step to get into the apartment. He slips. The neighbor sees this and tells him that those sandals are not good for moving furniture. He barks back – “they are actually, they are anti slip!” – then she says “I have some extra weight too so I know what its like” and to this he shouts back “its not my extra weight that’s the problem, its how heavy the couch is!”

He was upset- he had mud all along the side of him, up his shirt and caked on his sandals. After getting inside and taking a shower he came back out a little more focused. Now he was telling me that he knew it wouldn’t work in the side door. Well- obviously.

We attempted to get it through the main door and after some effort we got it inside. One of the corners was torn up (from the factory). JJ told me we should just take a black permanent marker and color it, so we wouldn’t have to call the company that built it. I couldn’t believe that.

Anyway, we got the rest of the furniture in with no problem after that.

I had another interview I had to go to- so I left. To VoiceCurve. It was interesting, they told me they needed all these special specs on my computer or I couldn’t work for them. That ultimately became the downfall to it all, because my screen didn’t match the size they needed. So I got a “thank you” letter- all because of my monitor! ugh…

Things are looking up though, next week I have an interview with Providence and Aflac the week after that. Plus I am going for a First Tech Credit Union job on Tuesday.

The small group for LHC has been constantly emailing me, and I feel bad about putting them off- but I don’t want to be committed to something until I know I can follow through.

It should be an productive week.

Now I’ll go finish up my cleaning.

just Pray.
