For anyone that's heard the Miley Cyrus ('Hannah Montana' from the Disney channel) song that made it on to normal radio play "The Climb", this version is better! Same song, just Kelly Clarkson and her backup singers playing around doing their version.

I Got the Job!!
As most people that would be reading this already know, I will be starting full time at the museum on September 30th. I am ridiculously excited about it! I've been wanting this since I first started working there over two and a half years ago and it finally happened. It didn't happen before this because a full time position didn't exist. Creating a position on the University of Washington campus is not a one step process as one might imagine. Anyways, it came to existence and I got it! I will be working Wednesday through Sundays (as they need someone to be working the weekend) and hours will be something like 8:30am or 9am to 5:30pm. The job I will be doing is pretty much the same I do now, but possibly more integrated with PR and membership. The only unfortunate thing about taking this job is knowing that I am taking most of the other hourly employee's hours for the week :-/ Basically they were cutting back all the hours so that it was taken by just the one position and they'll have hourly people on my days off and on weekends and busy days (first Thursdays). Obviously I'm happy that I got the job or it wouldn't have looked good for me! I really do love the museum and I know I will be great at the position.
This also means that I get to quit Office Depot! I only need one job now. ONE JOB. What am I going to do with myself?? I gave my notice already at Office Depot and I've already begun to train a new person in the cash office. It's a bit tricky as I am not the most easily replaced person in the building, but really it won't be my problem. I know that sounds terrible, but it's true! I am training the best I can and the person I am training is competent, but it still won't be the easiest transition for the store. There are a lot of things that I do that ONLY I do. I have people that cover me for my days off, but they don't get a chance to do everything. Not that they're missing out on fun or anything. It's strange to be leaving Office Depot as I just hit my 5 year anniversary a couple of months ago, but I also got gyped on my raise so the store could save money so my sadness is not at its full potential. Under appreciated? Yeah, pretty much. Could have been worse, though as it has been in the past with the first Office Depot store manager I had to work with.
I'm still toying with the idea of remaining on the temp employee list for the University Book Store for some extra money around the holidays (gift wrapping) and things like that. But it's nice knowing that I don't HAVE to.
Other things that have been going on: Not much. Well actually I had to get permanent glasses instead of the part time glasses with an upped prescription. I got different frames as my old purple ones were heavy and the nose pads hurt my nose. Now I have navy blue plastic framed ones with no nose pad that just carve a nice line into my nose, but it's still less painful than the nose pads. I like the way my old ones look a little more than the ones I have now, but being in less pain and being able to see better is nice and not overrated.
Reid's parents came to visit this week which was nice. It was nice to see them and also Reid cleaned his room (the spare room that serves as his giant laundry pile).
Also Chrissy, Chris, Ben and Tiffany will be visiting in Spokane in November and Reid and I plan on being there!!!!! Something to look forward to.
I put this link on my facebook, but here it is again! The super cute song about being a paleontologist that will be stuck in your head all day as it is mine. Enjoy!!
