- We just got windows (today) installed in the two spare bedrooms. I'm excited, now they will be much warmer. They had the original single paned aluminum windows, which weren't very energy efficient. The other windows in the house had been redone or are double paned.
- I finally heard back about a position I applied for back in January in the financial aid office of a local community college. I worked in the financial aid office of my own school all four years and enjoyed it. I had to take two assessments (along with the other candidates) on Tuesday. One test was "Administrative Basic Support Skills" and the other "Interpersonal/Personality Skills." The tests were not difficult, just very random. I have no feel for how I did and I haven't heard back yet. The hiring manager may decide to administer another test, or pick the top 3 candidates and continue on with the rest of the process (interviews, I imagine). I would love the job, and it's so close to home (10-15 minutes - no commuting in the snow), but we'll see what happens. It's in God's hands. In the meantime I've been revamping my resume, changing it from a chronological one to a functional one. I'm worried that the breaks in employment might be scaring away potential employers. They probably think I can't hold a job for more than 6 months. That's what happens when you follow a military spouse overseas and live in each location for less than a year.
- I know I promised to post pictures of our bedroom, but there are still changes I want to make (build padded cornices for the windows, and change the shades, the current ones were left by the previous owners and don't match - the room is now a pale orange and the shades are light blue, great quality shades, very energy efficient, too bad they don't fit elsewhere in the house). We had our bedroom furniture delivered a few weeks ago. I was so excited to finally have bedroom furniture. I was able to free up a lot of room in the closet, but I think I was most excited about having a nightstand. In Italy I used a box leftover from when our household goods were delivered, and here I was using a dresser which was not by the bed. It's so nice to have the alarm clock near me and not have to get up and walk over to the dresser to turn it off. It's also nice to have a place to put my glasses and reading material. I want to be able to change/fix the last few details so that the room will come together, right now it looks a little miss-matched. I would hate for everyone to think that I have awful taste. It may be a while however, the bedroom projects seem to be at a standstill. There are just so many things to do around the house and everything cost $. I also need Chae for some projects, but he just started a Finance class for his MBA which has been consuming much of his time. It seems to be his hardest class yet, and the most work he's had for one class thus far. We haven't even been snowboarding on the weekends, which says a lot. If it was up to Chae, we'd be on the slopes all the time.
Well, guess that's all there is to say for now.
