2010 So Far....

This year has already had it's ups and downs... Chris had been working back at Hardware Sales since September, which I was very grateful that he got his job back there with them. Only problem was they didn't have room in Rentals for him so he became their new warehouse lead. He didn't seem to love the new position but in the economy you take what you get for work and we were lucky for him to even have a job. He was about to switch back over to Rentals for the Spring/Summer since they need more help renting out lawn mowers and other around the house type of equipment.

Then the other day the owner of Dair Queen found him at work and asked if he was looking for a job. Chris asked him what the job was and it was working for Mt Baker Vineyards as a warehouse person/delivery driver. He doesn't have the best driving record in the world and made sure that they could insure him before he took the new job. He got a phone call at about 5pm on Monday night asking when he could start, so he went in yesterday (which is his normal day off from Hardware Sales) and started learning the ropes.

He found out yesterday he gets to make deliveries as far south as the Space Needle and to the San Juans. Sounds like a very fun job for him. He went into Hardware Sales yesterday afternoon to give his 2 weeks notice and was told to hang up his keys and not come back, so as of today he started his new job and so far it's sounds like it's going pretty good. He gets to go out tomorrow to do some deliveries with the person he is replacing and learn how that works. This weekend he gets to work a wine dinner, which is where people come to the winery and have a 5-course meal and try a different kind of wine with each meal and then decide to buy the wines they liked the best, I have been invited to go out for it as well to see how it all works but I'm not really I wine drinker so I think I would feel a little outta place there.

As for my job it is going really good. Staying busy, thinking about attempting to join a gym soon because Wii Fit just isn't cutting it for me. Hope everyone elses year has been going good so far. I will try to write here a little more often if I remember. :)
