Just a slight update on things.

I’ve been keeping an eye on jobs and applying at things that look like they would be good for me and even remotely in my field of study. I did get a reply from one job. It’s from a company in Grand Haven that is looking for an “Assistant to Owner”. I have an interview to attend Friday at 1pm with the owner. So we will see how that goes. I don’t see how/why it would go bad at all, but wish me luck!

Along those lines, I guess the announcement of what exactly is going on at work is supposed to happen on Friday. So we will know the future of the company/the truth of what exactly is going on. I’m not sure what to expect but I’m prepared for anything.

I’m sure we all enjoyed today. With the rain that we got last night on top of the extreme temperature drop and then the 6″ of snow that we got made for extremely unsafe roads. I had been listening to the radio all morning, I woke up at 5:30 to help mom. Between Coopersville and Alpine there were already over 30 slide-offs and even more between Alpine and the airport. Not too mention that under all the snow was a sheet of ice. I opted to stay home from work, as did my boss, and quite a few other people. Just about every school in the area closed except for Calvin College. Even Baker closed day classes until 1pm then at 1:30pm they decided to close evening classes too. So I got a full day off of work and school which was really nice! I haven’t had a day in the middle of the week like that in a LONG time!!!

I did go and play in the snow just a little bit. I pulled a car out of a snow drift this morning which was fairly easy, I was surprised with the amount of ice that there was on the road. After that I decided to drive up to the school and play around. Here are two pictures of that adventure:

I don’t think those pictures are too bad considering that they were taken with my cell phone (BTW – I had to size them down to fit even remotely well in here. They are actually 1280×1024.)

Speaking on that. All of our new phones came yesterday. I got my new Samsung A737, Mikelann got a Blue V3 RAZR, and Nathan got a Nokia 6085. All three are activated and are really cool. My phone is a slide phone and it’s a really awesome phone, I mean, just look at the pictures!!! On top of that it is a music player too! The RAZR is really nice, I got it charged and setup for Mikelann. I’ll be bringing it out to her this weekend. Nathan got his phone setup too and he seems to like it.

Well, I think that’s about all thats new for now. I will be sure to update when I have something to update about.

Everyone take care and stay safe, especially on the roads! TTFN

’til next time
