Andrea the Legal Assistant....

Well I have been at my job now for a week and I am happy to report that I really like it! The first few days were kind of a drag cause I had to do alot of busy work like filing and that kind of boring stuff but the last few days have been really good. I got my login setup and I have my own company email! I was really excited about that! I know I am a dork.... So I have been doing alot more things that have to do with my actual job now and I was really excited to be learning new things. And I am proud to say I havn't messed anything up ! So far so good....

LUCKY DAY!

So not only did I get the wonderful news that I got a job but there is more! They had a drawing at Brandons work today and he won a 32" LCD HDTV! How awesome is that! I don't think we have ever won anything that massive. Its amazing. The funny thing is that we are actually saving for one so I guess now we can start saving for something else!
We are having a lucky day! We just might go get some lottery tickets and try our luck!

I GOT A JOB!

YEAH! The wait has ended! I finally got offered a job and I start tomorrow morning at 9 am! The job is as a legal assistant... kinda random I know. Its with a company that specializes in bankruptcy. They will be teaching me everything I need to know because to be completely honest I have no idea what I will be doing. But there is room for growth and eventually I will be trained as a paralegal. Kind of exciting! Well that's it for now!
Wish me luck!

News on the job front...

I just wanted to let everybody know what has been going on with the job search. Well I have had a good couple of days. Yesterday I applied to a bunch of places for a few hours and I got a call back and went on an interview this morning. At this point I have put advertising jobs on the back burner in the mean time. I have had so much trouble finding a job in my field that I just want to find any job now. Well the job this morning went really well. It was an admin job for a home building company. All good but the down side was it required some traveling to Raleigh, NC. I am not sure that I am prepared to do that.

I am not letting that bring me down though. I have two more appointments within the next two days. So wish me luck and I will post how those interviews go!

LOTS OF LOVE!

Christmas Party!

The christmas party was a blast! I had a lot of fun and most importantly I got to meet alot of new people. Brandon always comes home after work talking about so many people at work and it is nice to finally know who he is talking about. It was tons of fun... We had SO MUCH food! I made salsa, guacamole, and enchiladas and I am happy to report that everyone loved it! I was very proud of myself.
As you can tell there was karaoke involved. I confess...I did get up there and sing but there is no pictures because luckily I was the one with the camera. (darn!) Brandon and I sang "Good Directions" by Billy Currington. And I just have to say I love southern accents! Everyone was talking and I was just in awe. I love 'em!

This is me feeling silly! I don't know what's going on with my face! LOL

Reality TV

So it is no secret ... I have no job! Therefore I have no life so I have been watching ALOT of TV. Keeping up with the Kardashians ( I think that's how its spelled) is one of my new favorite shows. Not because its really good but purely because it is entertaining. There is just something about watching families interact on TV is entertainment to me. Which brings me to my next show.... Jon and Kate plus 8! Again I don't know why I like to watch this but I do. These people have 8 kids.... a set of twins and then a set of sextuplets. Its pure madness! I guess I am just fascinated with how they actually function daily and mange to remain somewhat sane. On a different note I also enjoy the biggest loser... or what I like to call it Big Fat Loser. Brandon and I watch this every week and look forward to it. This show I feel has really helped people change their lives but I find it funny how they play on the fact that everyone is overweight. Everyone has a fridge with their name on it and when they are voted off the fridge is dramatically turned off! Anyway these are only some of the things that have kept me entertained lately.

Getting Ready for Christmas!

Well we are trying to get ready for Christmas so we have been decorating. It has been kind of hectic. Also we are getting ready for a Christmas party on December 15th so I am really excited for that! Since Brandon and his mom work for the same company, they are having their co-workers over for a Christmas party. I am really excited to be meeting new people and making friends! Plus Christmas parties are always fun ... especially when there are games involved! (I am a dork... I know!) That's pretty much all that has been going on around here. The Christmas tree is still a work in progress. And for those of you still wondering .... I still don't have a job!
