Jobs, Beds and Gifts...

Well, for anyone wondering, I am still lacking a job. However, the interview went well (I thought). The dude who interviewed me seemed really cool. He only asked about a dozen questions and then told me a bit more about the job, WAMU, the benefits etc. Turns out they have 1500 interviews over the next three weeks. That seems like a ridiculous amount, but they are trying to hire 200 people. So really, my chances are better than 1 in 8, which seems a lot more likely. I guess I am not that worried about it due to the fact that I'm wishing, hoping and praying I will already be employed by the time they start offering positions (February).
On a more exciting note, we got a bed for the guest room!! Just went and picked it up a few hours ago. We found a discount place and got it for a pretty good deal. Tonight we will start decorating. I am very excited; it is going to be a beach themed room! If anyone would like to come stay with us, just let me know. (Oh, and the sooner the better, as I would love someone to keep me company during my time of unemployment!) :)
J had his shopping day today. The military gives everybody one day off in December so they can go Christmas shopping. Isn't that nice? However, they had some training this morning, so he had to go in for a few hours. We had lunch at Red Robin after his training and my interview and then bought some more Christmas presents. Also, J bought me a new workout outfit at Old Navy. I am so excited to wear it! But I don't think I will be going to the gym in the morning since I'm supposed to go to a Newcomers' briefing on base with J and it starts at 0730. :) I suppose I can wait until that's over.
I guess that about covers the excitement of my day.
P Sout.

The "Guest Room" should be great.
I'm also sure glad we got to go to RR. That was good and fun. Plus I love carmel frappacinos. I know I didn't spell it right, but I am too lazy to find the real spelling.
Ok well you're making me dinner so I'll go.

You should come and make me dinner too, actually lunch would be better because Brenda's usually gone then!

Tell J to buy me a cute exercise outfit and I might start exercising, too. And I hope I have a job before WaMU starts hiring, also.

Okay! I'll come stay in your cute beach room! Sounds like lots of fun. You should take a picture of your new outfit, I want to see it. :) Love you!

Is Wamu some younger and less popular cousin to Shamu? I'm exited to sleep in the guest room (and yes I meant to spell it "exited".)
