Yay for me!
Me and Lisa on Saturday night...
Sara, me and Jen...
Okay, so I don't know why I didn't talk about this before, but basically, I've been looking for a new job, and on Friday after much interviewing (5 interviews to be exact) and a few tests, I was finally given a job offer with an Engineering Company here in Las Vegas.
Yay! Along with the job comes a nice hefty pay raise, sick leave (I didn't have that before), medical and dental (I only had medical before), 401K where the company MATCHES what you put in (oh hell yeah!) and a staff of hot single young engineer types. Actually, I don't know about that last part, but I'm hoping.
So, I start the new gig on Monday, I have to work 9 - 6 p.m. which kind of sucks, but oh well. I'm definitely going to have a lot more responsibilities, I'm a little nervous but I hope that I'm up to the challenge. I think I am. I really wanted this and it happened for a reason, so yay!!
Friday I'm going out for a girl's night out at the Red Rock Casino. This is a whole separate crew of girls that I don't usually hang out with, because they don't actually go out that often. Most of them are married and stuff, and they do drink, so that might be a challenge, but if it's not working for me, I'll just leave. I think it'll be a lot of fun though. It's always nice to meet new people and people watching at the Red Rock is sure to be fun. Pictures to come as always.
So, can we all just take a moment to laugh about the court awarding O.J.'s rolex to the Goldman's? How freaking funny is that? I just love it. If I was the Goldman's I'd be like "hey, I like that green shirt he's wearing, SHIP IT!!!!" and "hmmm, what about that superbowl ring?? That looks pretty shiny - send it on over". I actually don't know if he has any superbowl rings, but I'm sure someone can can clarify that for us. I really think karma is coming around to bit O.J. in the ass. Let's hope so!
And, how did I almost forget about this? Today I'm going back to court for hopefully the last time EVER to finalize my DUI stuff. I have to turn in the $580 fine, turn in the proof that I took the DUI course, give them the paperwork showing that I went to the Victim Impact Panel and hopefully if all goes well, they will immediately drop it down to a reckless and I will never have to re-visit this DUI thing again. Here's a funny thing. I just heard on the news that O.J. will be in court this morning. I'll be in Las Vegas court this morning. Maybe I'll run into him. I'll make sure to get a picture and sell it to TMZ!

I didn't know you were single again. Well best of luck finding a young single guy at your new job. OJ has no superbowl rings.

Hey Carmen. I ended up here through Waffle's blog. Congrats on your new job!
My wife and I stayed at Green Valley Ranch last month and we liked it, and we are thinking about Red Rock next time. Can I get your insider's scoop on the place?

"staff of hot single young engineer types"
LMAO
Having worked as an engineer for 24 years now I can honestly say I have never heard that combination of words describe me or my coworkers.
We do generally have the coolest toys though.

Congrats on the new job, girl, it sounds great! I LOVE the sparkly, purple top. So cute! Have fun at Red Rock. GL in court!

Congrats on the new job!. That freaking rocks.
And might I say, you are looking hotter than ever. I'll be looking forward to the slumber party in Dec with you and Blonde.
Guess Doug should have listened to you about the hat.....

Bayne beat me to it. Engineers and hot? LOL. Not in the obious way. but... While they are slightly 'basement of the science building' type of guys if you want someone who will pay the mortgage, come home every night and worship you, then ya they're hot.

Congrats on the new job! That's awesome! You're gonna rock that job!
Speaking of rocking, has anyone mentioned how fabulous you look lately? Well, you do!
Tell OJ I said "Howdy!" ;-)

Congrats on the job and the court date. Nice work.
We'll be in Vegas on Oct. 16. I talked to Don about this too, but we should get together one night for some MGM poker?

Congrats on the new job girl!!! Uuuummmm...I thought you were dating that cute young guy....what happened? I feel so out of the loop.
September 19, 2007
Congratulations! Sounds like things are really looking up for you. Engineers? Well, ok, but I have never met any "hot" engineers. It's always possible, I guess.

Congrats on the new job. Sad to see you leave your current one. Get them to use us as their IT ppl :)
I was actually down at the courthouse this morning for a court date and I can attest that it was a zoo. Took me 15 min to find a parking spot within reasonable walking distance, and there must have been 30 camera crews standing around the entrances. Only 2 of the elevators were working, so I had to run up to the 6th floor.
And about that engineer thing... What's the definition of an outgoing engineer? One who looks at your shoes instead of his own when talking.
What's an engineer's best form of contraception? His personality.
:-P
