Hello everyone, TGIF! Usually I would love saying that at the end of a tough work week, but being unemployed pretty much every day is Friday :) Sorry it's been a while but I do have a few things to talk about so I figure I'd start on the job front.
Yesterday I had my second interview with a company called Intelius (http://www.intelius.com/) which is based in Bellevue and does background checks for employers. It's a startup company that is relatively small, I think around 100 employees and they have filed to go public so there's a lot of upside if all goes well - $$. They are looking for someone to help them build and create an account management team so the opportunity is tremendous and I'm really excited about it. I actually spent all day there yesterday meeting with the team and some of their execs. A friend of mine works there and he has helped put in a good word and the feedback from everyone there has been positive. Therefore I know that they want me but nothing is official just yet. I'll probably know more by Mon or Tues of next week so I'll be sure to blog about it when I know more but things are definitely looking good!
In other news, I've been playing GTA IV (Grand Theft Auto) which is a very controversial video game which kicks "A". I know that my momma doesn't like it, but like I told her, "Hey, if you do things in real life that you do in a video game you had problems long before you played the game." It's not like I'm going out eating mushrooms in the hopes I'll grow bigger (that was a Mario reference in case you didn't get it). GTA is obviously for adults and in my opinion it's a fun game so I'll leave it at that. However, I felt that I need to even myself out, a kind of heaven and hell if you will so I decided to buy Mario Kart for the Wii. That game is also a lot of fun but it's kind of funny to be playing a kids game really and the next thing you know you're blowing up police cars.
Today is also the first day of Seahawks mini-camp - GO HAWKS!!! I'm so pumped, I can't wait for the season to start. I'm still disappointed for having to give up my season tix but I'll definitely be going to games this year.
That's it, I have to get the house picked up and BTW it's our 4 year wedding anniversary on Sunday!
See ya, J&H&C
John and Holly have been married for over 4 years and live in Issaquah with their dog Cooper. We don't have any "real" children, however we are parents to a lot of pressure from family members to have them.
