ADAM

Adam started work and he really likes it so far. He got his own van this week and spent one day working with the owner doing an install. He said that it is a small shop with about 6 technicians and he is learning a lot about the major differences in systems here vs. VA. The zero percent humidity is a huge difference. First day he rode with a guy who said his cousin just moved to Seminary Rd in Alexandria....crazy coincidence. He is working long hours and enjoying getting up every day with somewhere to go. Although today he went to work and ended up at breakfast with the guys (.99 breakfast) and did not start work until around 11am--owner included. He said everyone is pretty chill. Then after work the boys were going to see some boobs..he is fitting in just fine.

I went to an interview at Caesar's today to be an event coordinator--it looks good but the salary is so bad. Let's just say I was making the same amount when I was 22yrs old. A job is a job but good GOD!
I have also been interviewing with Freeman (large exhibit company nationwide) I have been on two interviews and they went great. Next step is panel interview and that won't happen until about first week of May, then they make a decision. The pay is awesome and so are the benefits, but I could not hear anything for a month. Caesar's should be calling in a few days. Catch 22..OF COURSE. Nothing is solid, I have yet to hear any definite answers.
It is super windy here. You know how back home we would get torrential winds and then rain. Nope-wind all day and not a drop of rain. Think sunny and 76 degrees with a constant ocean breeze. It is pretty awesome. Although it blows dust everywhere and Adam said it is hell when you are on a roof.

Oh Adam's van is one of those vans with the big ads on the side. You know with the guy painted on the side of it..HA! Picture to follow....
