The washer is going, the dryer-  even the dishwasher.  Twenty minutes ago even the <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_0\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">vacuum<\/span> 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 <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">vacuum<\/span>, do laundry, clean the kitchen and the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>This week was somewhat busy.  I had an interview with <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_2\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">VoiceCurve<\/span>.  I was somewhat skeptical of them because they said you could &#8220;work at home&#8221; &#8211; so approached with caution.  I went to the interview the same day our furniture arrived.  Lets back up a little and start over.<\/p>\n<p>Monday I went to the <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_3\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">pre<\/span>-screening of &#8220;the Hangover&#8221; &#8211; it was okay.  <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_4\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">JJ<\/span> simply loved it, I wasn&#8217;t as enamoured about it &#8211; but to each their own.<\/p>\n<p>The following day I had two interviews.  One with Rose City <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_5\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">Personnel<\/span> (another staffing company who will help look for a job for me) and <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_6\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">VoiceCurve<\/span>.  When I started my interview with <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_7\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">RoseCity<\/span> I <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_8\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">received<\/span> a call from the person who would be dropping off our furniture.  It was almost 1pm &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t get home right away, so I called <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_9\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">JJ<\/span>&#8211; but he didn&#8217;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 <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_10\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">RoseCity<\/span> and went home to find <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_11\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">JJ<\/span> still asleep.  I informed him that our furniture was on it&#8217;s way over and that he should get ready so he could help me get it into the apartment.<\/p>\n<p>He agreed.  He put on some clothes and wore some sandals, walked outside still half asleep.  The first piece of <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_12\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">furniture<\/span> 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&#8217;t bad- but <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_13\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">JJ<\/span> couldn&#8217;t carry it.  He was huffing and puffing, moaning and groaning &#8211; unable to get a &#8220;handle on it&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We tried to bring it through the front door, but that didn&#8217;t work, he told me &#8220;I knew it wouldn&#8217;t work through the front door&#8221; &#8211; I was getting <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_14\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">aggravated<\/span> with him, so I told him fine- lets just take it around back.  We took it around back and he steps into some <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_15\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">mud<\/span>&#8211; not looking where to step to get into the apartment.  He slips.  The neighbor <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_16\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">sees<\/span> this and tells him that those sandals are not good for moving furniture.  He barks back &#8211; &#8220;they are actually, they are anti slip!&#8221; &#8211; then she says &#8220;I have some extra weight too so I know what its like&#8221; and to this he shouts back &#8220;its not my extra weight <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_17\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">that&#8217;s<\/span> the problem, its how heavy the couch is!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He was upset- he had <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_18\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">mud<\/span> 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&#8217;t work in the side door.  Well- obviously.<\/p>\n<p>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).  <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_19\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">JJ<\/span> told me we should just take a black permanent marker and color it, so we wouldn&#8217;t have to call the company that built it.  I couldn&#8217;t believe that.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we got the rest of the furniture in with no problem after that.<\/p>\n<p>I had another interview I had to go to- so I left.  To <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_20\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">VoiceCurve<\/span>.  It was interesting, they told me they needed all these special specs on my computer or I couldn&#8217;t work for them.  That ultimately became the downfall to it all, <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_21\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">because<\/span> my screen didn&#8217;t match the size they needed.  So I got a &#8220;thank you&#8221; letter- all because of my monitor!  ugh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Things are looking up though, next week I have an interview with Providence and <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_22\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">Aflac<\/span> the week after that.  Plus I am going for a First Tech Credit Union job on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The small group for <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_23\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">LHC<\/span> has been constantly emailing me, and I feel bad about putting them off- but I don&#8217;t want to be <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_24\" class=\"blsp-spelling-corrected\">committed<\/span> to something until I know I can follow through.<\/p>\n<p>It should be an productive week.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;ll go finish up my cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>just Pray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The coffee maker is self cleaning.
