I Don’t Know

I have decided not to make this unnecessarily long and drawn out. The last couple of weeks have been hell for me. I have been on this on going spiral of waiting and miscommunication. Finally, I have a break. I pretty much smashed the test and they like me. Yesterday, I was a bit bummed because I got hit with a tentative start date of July 11.

I was like what the fuck. That is like a month away and in my mind that’s forever not to mention the position could become unavailable during this time. I would have been out of work for a year, June 26. This afternoon, as I was explaining the situation to my son who is now Plurking, I got a call from my agency notifying me that they just received an email from the company stating that my official start date will be July 7.

This doesn’t seem so far away for me since I guess I know it’s a sure thing at this point. It isn’t the shift that I wanted but I can definitely work around it and make adjustments as needed. Most of all I can start getting ready for my son’s return to school and do something for my birthday.

Minimee and I had a great Father’s Day. We went to see The Incredible Hulk, which we enjoyed immensely. That movie is one hell of a ride. Then we went to what is currently our favorite spot Parkside Restaurant and had the most enlightening conversation. I ordered my usual twin deluxe burgers with American and he, much to my surprise, ordered a grilled chicken caesar salad.

Going back to my post Chawlk. I decided that just going at him and being too direct might overwhelm him and I didn’t want to come across as too much of an authority figure.
