I started my new job today. Everything was going fine until the last hour. I got a call from Personnel and said they did not have my initial application. I had to go down and fill out another one even though I could not remember all of the original information. They said that did not matter and that unless I wanted my start date to be tomorrow and be considered a temporary worker today I need to redo it. So off to the Personnel Department I went and filled out what I need too. Of course it was not as neat and thorough as my original because I was rushed and unprepared. But, other than that went about the way I expected. Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I have to be at work at 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. But only a half of day training on Wednesday.

Update. I have finished all my projects as of Friday. I am free free to relax until I start my new job Monday.

Well, I was invited to a good friend's house today for dinner. I had an excellent time thanks Irene, Ryan, Nicholas and Frank. Also, thanks to Krystal for listening to me while I was riding over there. I Nextelled her about an ex-friend.

Here is a picture of me and Henry today. Isn't he looking great from the last picture I posted. No more eye surgeries for him and his vision is improving greatly each day. Going to do some minor updates to the website this week. Next week I will probably not have enough time, with starting my new job and everything.

Well, I mowed the yard yesterday, cleaned my room today and got Henry groomed. Only 2 things left to do is to get my hair cut and clean my truck. Plan on doing those things on Friday. Start the new job on Monday.

Well, tomorrow is Easter. Just remember the Lord died and 3 days later rose to complete his promise to give us eternal salvation. Yesterday, we went to my grandmother's cabin in Inverness. We had a good dinner up there. My Aunt Shirley made pork roast, green beans, sweet potatoes and etc. It was 5 stars out of 5. Today, I am just lazing around. Catching up on Tivo shows and the like playing a couple computer games. I also made a couple of editions to the website. Hope everyone likes them! That is it for now.

Today was my last day at my current job. My fellow co-workers got me a shirt and a plaque. Thanks Robert, Edwin, Michael Meyer, Bill, Chris and Krystal for the gifts. They were great. Take care to all of you and great success to all of you in the future.

Well, today I talked to my grandmother. She sounds good. However, she thinks she might die this week. I told her that is nonsense. She is 90 this June. I told her it is not her time yet. I don't want to lose her. I think she will be around for a while longer.

Well my POW page will be coming down. All the POW have been released. See this article for more information. This is great news. Also, why is it a lot of people are against this War? I favored the War. The only problem I had with it. This should been done 12 years ago the first time.

OK, Today is the day I have been promising you. I got my new job. I will be changing companies on April 28, 2003. I will be going from a State worker to a County worker. In the end, it means more money. No change in my retirement. It carries right on over.

Just got some bad news! My Grandmother is back in the hospital. Not sure what has happened yet. Will let everyone know as soon as I do.

Well, one more day and then back to work tomorrow. Not looking forward to going back. Especially since I have a lot of news happening regarding that topic this week.

My Nextel bill finally got straightened out today. I was on the phone with Nextel for about 20 minutes. Got a total of $134 dollars credited to my account. It only took a month. Why is it when you owe people or companies money they want it today? But, if you are owed money people or companies take there time.

Well, today was a big day. Got a call from my boss and got my transfer. I also have a big day tomorrow. The "BIG NEWS" is only 4 days away.

Today is my Birthday! Wow and I got to work. Nothing new. Still should have something real big too post next Friday.

Henry had another check up today. The Vet says everything is going great. Also, I paid for a service call mailblocks.com to consolidate all my e-mail accounts to fight spam. They are supposed to have a great way of doing this according to several articles I read. So far I am not impressed. Good thing the service only cost 9.95 and that was for 3 years. Right now I am using it to consolidate a lot of mailing lists I receive. I will not renew at this point unless the service improves. I will have some big news to post by next Friday.
