Jumping on the Blogwagon.

While browsing through my pictures trying to find something to post, I came across my pictures from Scotland. And... since my parents just returned from there, here you go. You'll get pictures that are more relevant to the subject of the actual post in the future. Fear not.

So, yes, we (rather, I) have jumped on the blog bandwagon and created one. I'm not entirely sure anyone will read it since we don't have kids, but I promise to fill it up with lots of pictures of my nieces and nephews to compensate.

We've been in Georgia for about a month. In some ways it seems like it hasn't been that long, and in some ways it feels like it's been much longer. Bryan has accepted a job with a vending company, but he's having to jump through a lot of hoops to actually get started. (Namely, getting a Georgia drivers license, for which he needs proof of residency, which he doesn't have until we rent an apartment, which we can't get until he gets a job, for which he needs a Georgia drivers license. It's a vicious vicious circle, really.) He managed to actually get a drivers license, thanks to my sister and brother-in-law who faked a rent receipt. Now we're just waiting to hear whether the company's insurance has approved him. Then he can get the drug test. Then he can start work 12-18 hours after that. Oy.

I, on the other hand, am not having so much luck with the job hunt. I went on an interview with the staffing-agency-that-shall-not-be-named earlier this week, where I was greeted with people who were fairly quick to demote me, then gave me a test where I answered questions like: "To reduce irritation from staring at a computer screen should you, a) sit as close to the screen as possible, b) cross your eyes, or c) turn away from the computer approximately every 15 minutes." (Any guesses? It's tricky, I know.) Anyway, I left feeling kind of discouraged. I felt better the next day when they emailed me a survey about my experience. I was honest.

We're going away to the mountains for the 4th of July this weekend, so I hope we can get our minds off of it all.

Happy 4th of July to all the Americans! (Not that I think any foreigners will ever read this.)
