Finally, re-employed

So, I got a new job. It's actually an additional job. I'm still working at UPS until 8:30 am, then I go down town to a little place called (name edited to protect the innocent). Check them out on the web, www.(don't check them out).com. Pretty crazy.

I went through a temp agency to get the job and didn't even know it was with (NEW COMPANY) until I interviewed. I've known about the company for four or five months, now, though, because I use their services online.

They're an online retailer for digital media publishers, ebooks, movies, music, software, etc. I knew they were in Boise and even thought how cool it would be to work with them, but I could never find any info about how to get hired.

So, here I am, on my first day of work. There's not much training, since I already know what the company does. I'm doing customer support for them in German and English. When I'm CEO I'm going to hire Ben to be the CFO.

Anyway, they're a dot com and the office and people are awesome! I get to wear flip-flops to work. If you can't tell, I'm way excited!

Back to work...

Mom and Dad, now on their mission!Holland and Missy! Missy is so tolerant, but Holland really treats her well.

Nichole and Remi having fun!

All the pictures were taken with Holland's digital camera she got for Christmas. She's good!

I took this one the other night with our other camera. Look at those eyes! Look out, boys, here they come! Really...look out...for my shovel!

Badly Needed Update

Hey, it's been a while. We've been busy doing stuff, but I wanted to update before I went to bed. I'm still looking for an additional job. I had a great interview with a local dot com company on Thursday and will hopefully find out in the next day or two if I got the job. They wanted a German speaker with customer service experience. Check and check. Also, I have used their online services for the past 5 months as part of my internet marketing experiments. They were speechless when they realized I was very familiar with their company. They are used to having to explain what they do and having new employees take a few months to catch up. I could jump in and immediately relate to the customers, because I am one.

Nichole's play opened on Friday. I took Holland to see it last night with Nichole's parents and her sister Chantel. Nichole did a great job. I'm really proud of her and what she's been able to do with her acting. I'll be glad when it's over and she can help put the girls to bed more often, but I'm really glad she's been able to do this.

The girls are awesome! They both took rides on Opa's motorcycle on Saturday and had fun. Remi was a little apprehensive, but Holland kept yelling for Opa to go faster, then giggling as he accelerated. We may have to get her a go cart or something.

I'm super tired and have to get up in four and a half hours for work, so I'll write more later. I took a picture of the girls a few nights ago, but it's on the other computer so I'll upload it soon. Check out my website www.flippingtheswitch.org. I'm writing it with a business partner, Scott Gibson, and we're doing some cool stuff.
