So this week kinda sucks...
1. Began with finding out I DIDNT get the job at Lego. They never called me in for a second interview, the manager didnt recall me at all, I wasnt part of their top 40 apps, oh yeah and they want me to try for a job at the one by us. Even though they arent hiring for another 2 weeks and its only seasonal and maybe some that arent. And I'd only be competing with all the other people trying for a job there.Maybe its bad timing maybe once the store opens I will be able to get in. But I doubt it!! How could I even think they would when they IGNORED a former employee. That job fair wasnt done right. They knew I was a former they SHOULD HAVE TALKED TO ME LONGER not pushed me off like one of the others. Instead they chose to forget me, saw my app after and didnt contact me at all for a second interview!! Ed said I had a nice record for Lego but it wasnt nice enough for the MGR at the new store to even notice or care. Plus they didnt tell them. I'm upset at a lot involved in this right now.
2. After the Lego thing I cried off and on for two days like someone died. I feel like Lego died, I feel like they shot me and betrayed me. I feel all kinda things. I dont recall ever feeling this much saddness over a rejection. Not only was I 110% sure I would get the job I was sure I'd be working by now. Thats great store opens mid Oct like I have the time to sit around and wait for them to call me maybe or maybe I could get in on the other store. Wth NOT HAPPY AT ALL!!!!!
3. Decided on Friday to go to the Scottsdale Mall again. Once you get the hang of it the mall isnt so bad. And its fun to walk around. Then found out that Day by Day is they calendar company being run by the Borders across the street. Despite the fact I didnt know if I wanted back in with the company I finally applied online. They are also hiring for the Borders Express soon to open in the mall. Hope I dont get too lost cause its a crazy thing to be in that mall little alone work there...
4. So we are debating seeing a movie this coming week. I'm excited. Also eating out for sure just once at a nice place. Still debating the two but will update once we see a movie and can report. While Easy A was a winner last week this week we might see the owl movie you know the one...maybe you do?
5. Despite all that, there are new shows on tv which is great!! I'm exicted. Of course they have again taken over our lives. Currently unless I get into the new show "The Event" on Mondays its Mondays & Saturdays we have no shows at all!! Tuesdays is Life Unexpected, Wednesdays is The Middle (the one after that show isnt too bad), Thursdays is Vampire Diaries and The Office, Fridays is Smallville & Supernatural, Sundays is Extreme Makeover and Desperate Housewives (ALL NEW TONIGHT!!!!!)
Thats all...heres to a better week ahead

Weekend 5 September 19th 2010
Alright...
1. Began the week waiting for Lego to calling me back. After all I am a former employee so I didnt see a problem with it. In the mean time, I had my # from my old Lego job that he had asked for. So I was excited about this. Monday I called the Lego at the mall by us and they gave me the mgrs email address. But with no reply on Tuesday I called again and this time spoke to a guy who was at the job fair he told me a new email address so I sent it again. And found out that Mike is the mgr and I spoke to him on Fri. Wow what are they chances?
2. My sister Misty turned 24 today. Shes the handicappted one we sadly miss who still lives in Cali with my parents. I wish every year this comes I could see her. Miss her lots and was glad to spend time with her in May. I cant wait till we see her again in Nov. Shall be fun!! Also we hit our 9wk mark and still no jobs...to which I add: no comment!!
3. We are at the downtown library on a Sunday. They are having a booksale last day is today so we scored each 5 books for $1. I bought 6 actually and Mel bought 10. I'm not complaining cause I even got the first Harry Potter book nice seeing I own NONE of them so far!!
4. Lego still didnt call me back so on Friday I spoke to my former store. Well they had my # and said I was a great employee and rehirable. All good news. They had just been talking about me too (Funny thing). So I am in almost. No call backs yet but I am thinking Monday or Tuesday I should get one. I may even just get hired or rehired that is without having a second interview. I thought it worked like this!!
5. My ipod is working. Yes it is. If you dont know my itunes started freezing on me and not syncing with my ipod back in July already. Whatever the reason I couldnt do anything with it. Well I finally took my computer got the new itunes on it and now my ipod is almost updated. It takes time to update to the 4.0 but shall be next time. I am just SO glad to have songs back on it cause I had none. Plus some of my new stuff. Oh happy day for me :))

The Weekend 5 September 12th 2010
Hello...
1. Began our week with not going online on Monday. It was Labor Day. Never once did I feel the pains of not working then on Monday when we celebrated a day off from WORK and I didnt have any work to account for. But cause of that the library not open. We ened up dying my hair and cutting it (its a nice length which I love!). But otherwise the day was kinda crappy. From bad meat to us having to eat out at In-n-Out because of the said meat. Glad that day was over and done!
2. I've been wanting to get back to my journals for this year but I am SO far behind in ALL of them that i dont know where to start. I am pondering how to get back. For now I guess I need to just start up where I am and then work backwards once more. It will be a true pain to do this but its whats gotta be done if I want to get these things back up and running. I fell behind before our trip to Cali in May and was catching up. Then we came back and I never caught up and then we moved and still not caught up. If you got advice to catch up lmk.
3. Yeah the Lego Store is opening on Oct 14th, they start moving in on Nov 11th. And we we did the interview on Fri. It was a huge amount of people but we were the first ones there and one of the first they spoke to. However it wasnt a real interview it was more like asking about hours, our retail experience, etc. My interviewer named Michael "Mike" well he was very out of it but more than interested that I have former Lego experience both at Legoland and Lego Store. So I am very excited! It will be next to Build a Bear. And I want this job and believe this is the job for me even MORE than the think with Bookmans that didnt work out as we know...
4. Well my ipod is out to get me. First the itunes wont sync with my itunes. So I am like okay...but doing alright without it. Sure I cant even updated to the new version of the ipod cause of this which started having issues back in TN. Well it decided on Fri to take ALL my music away from me. I have no *CLUE* why. Suddenly NO music at all. Well then it wouldnt sync STILL with my itunes so I am like UGH UGH. I go online on Saturday (meaning yesterday) and put the NEW version of itunes on my very full hard drive computer. Come home last night to find that something went wrong in that download/update and now I have to take itunes off and put back on. Well thats just GREAT! I cant go online at home so now tomorrow I will have to bring it with me to the library JUST to take itunes off and back on. I cant do anything now with itunes. No take more cds off, no delete stuff. So my poor Hard drive will remain very full and I cant do a darn thing about it. Yeah thanx a lot.
5. Well we've been out here for 2 months. Mel likes to say it hasnt been 2 months cause its not yet the um 16th? But we came out here 8 weeks ago as of Friday. In fact 8 weeks ago today we dropped off our truck at U-Haul. Therefore I believe 8 weeks is 2 months. And we still dont have jobs. God knows why. Poor mom is gonna have to help us with electric which was due on the 9th they told us the 21st now say the 17th. Gonna talk to them tomorrow and pray they let us have till the 21st and give us some money off to pay next time. I'm worried about rent for Oct cause even when I start working at Lego I wont be seeing my first pay check till possibly second week of Oct way past due date of rent.
So yeah that was a big weekend 5. Till next weekend see ya!

The Weekend 5 September 5th 2010
Yeah...
1. Unlike last week where I had interview two in a row on two different days. This week I had NO interviews at all. Not a call back either I might add. August ended with a bang alright. That was the sound of the shot gun of the race we were in and we concluded the long month with no jobs, and nothing coming in. Yup. Nothing good at all!
2. Hello wiifit! Welcome back to the club. We finally got the wiifit up and running. I like the living room situation here better and we can slide the board under the tv stand when we are done. Its really fun playing. And just to say I've done it all I have also played mario kart twice on the wii and even Super Mario Brothers. Yes I had a good ol time.
3. Speaking of TV. I decided to do a channel surf and guess what? We got 46 channels now and that includes all the regulars far as I can tell. We have CW, and NBC, and CBS, and ABC. Pretty much if you were in Cali southern part thats Channels 7, 5, 4, and 2. Oh and channel 11 and I think their version of 13 which is more court dramas and such. Still exploring and we dont have a tv guide so just gotta guess what. Not all our shows in the middle of the night their version includes Simpsons instead of Office. But Office is on another channel. Like I said just did this two days ago and getting used to it....
4. We are now offically AZ residents sorta. We have the license plate. Took us 3 extra days past the date ours expired and much fighting but miracles happen and we have a AZ plate. Still has our Cali on front and says Carlsbad. And Sis now has her old Cali and old TN ones. She jokes about hanging them on the wall. Too funny!
5. My room is nearly complete. I am SO proud!! My desk area though slow in coming is almost done. And I am happy to say I am looking closer and closer to having all my boxces unpacked. My goal was originally this weekend but things happened and I havent really done much "work" in the last 3 days. Even though we didnt go online Fri or Sat been tired and stressed out.
Thats all for now. Till next weekend catch ya then!! :)
