And life goes on . . .

My apartment was broken into Sunday night. They came through the window and stole my Macbook!! I was so heartbroken over it. The apartment complex installed a motion sensor light outside my bedroom window and a security bolt on the inside. They are also allowing me to move to the top floor in August. I'm glad. I loved that computer and it had all the weight loss pictures on it that I will never get back. I'm glad I downloaded some pictures on my blog and on Facebook so I can still access some of them. The worst thing was that I didn't feel safe in my own apartment for a few days. The good news is that I will be able to return to the temple after 12 years!! My temple blessings will be restored tomorrow morning and I'm so happy about that. It's been a long road, but I'm happy to say that I am a better person than I was 12 years ago too. I needed some maturing. I start my new job on the 26th and hopefully life will get back to normal. Whatever that is. Anyone have any experience with software programs? I had Microsoft Office and Photoshop on my laptop. I wonder if they will charge me again for them or if I can download them onto another computer (if I can ever afford one). If you are in the know . . . share your wisdom!!!

The Job

I was offered a job with Verizon Wireless as a customer support rep, which isn't exactly what I was looking for, but in this economy I will take what I can find. The benefits are really great though and there is a great tuition reimbursement program that starts day one, so I will be able to finish school! Perhaps bad things happen for a reason? They can still rescind their offer if they are unhappy with my background check for some reason. The way things are going . . . I'm going to be unable to relax at all until I start working on June 26th. Most people would be happy for time off work, but right now . . . every day I am not working is another day I am not earning money. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and am trying to be hopeful and positive. Keep your fingers crossed that it works out fine and that on the 26th I will be sitting in HR orientation. Every door that closes just means that another is about to open, right?
