Update on the furnace job
Thanks to everyone who commented with congrats and stuff on the Job I got working for the furnace man. Sorry I didn't respond individually there, but you know... kind of busy hahaha... but anyway, so far things are going very well. My boss is a pleasant person to work for. It's funny because he calls people and gives his name, and then says "I'm the Furnace Man." He repeats himself... forgets sometimes when he's already showed me how he wants something done, but that's ok. The reason I'm there in the first place is because he's just a bit of a scatter brain. So once I know how to do everything he needs done, he won't have to worry about stupid office stuff any more... and once that's accomplished he can get more work done fixing things, which means more money coming in and more hours for me. In the mean time, I'm using the business half of my degree really for the first time in at least 10 years other than for my own personal business. So that's kind of nice to put my knowledge to use.
Unlike my last office job, I feel very comfortable and at ease in my office, and not constantly like I'm being judged or looked down on. That's very much a relief, and it was one of the things that we talked about in the interview. I mean the fact that I'm more comfortable working in a blue collar office where people are just real. So far so good. I like it. I feel comfortable. I billed $1100 worth of invoices today. So earning my keep. ^__^
In other news... the house was shown twice last week. One of the realtors complained that my house is 'cluttered' and my attitude is pretty much. "Please excuse me for living in my house while you are looking at it." Those people really couldn't have been very interested in the first place if they were too busy looking at clutter to look at the house. This was the one that the agent scheduled the appointment for 9 am on a Saturday morning, and then had the audacity having got me up that early on a Saturday, to arrive EARLY while I was still dressing. I made him wait outside. Anyway, the house was shown this afternoon on NO notice while I was at work... and I told the agent, You realise this means that I didn't wipe down my stove, that I left dishes in the sink (something I rarely ever do) I haven't vacuumed yet, and the spare room's closet is blocked off with a big monitor I bought sitting in front of it. She said she'd make sure the agent knew that. hee. Well you never know. Maybe those people, having given no notice whill see the house for what it is. A great first home for a small family just starting out.
