What a wonderful job you've done with the apartment! We used to have that same Nick at Nite trivia game. Sold it at a garage sale because the questions were so hard. Hope the interview went well. And if not, that you will find another prospect soon. Looking forward to hearing about it.

Update 10/6

So woke up around 10am after staying up late to watch that pitiful display of a game last night grrr the Red Sox better win tonight Anyways after getting up and having something to eat I got ready for the interview.

The woman from the Human Resources department called right at 11am and we spoke for 30 minutes or so. She gave me more information on the company, asked me the basic interview questions and now I move on to speak to the manager of the actual department I'll be working in. She is going to call me at 1pm tomorrow to do a phone test. I think its hilarious that I have to do a practice call I am hoping that 5 1/2 years experience doing the same job will help my cause!

So I should know more tomorrow about the job!

Then around 3pm we left and headed to the Tag Agency where we were going to get our Florida Licenses. We got a number waited 45 minutes and when we got to the counter I realized I had forgotten my Social Security Card at home and they now require it since September 11th. So I took off leaving mom at that agency because it was after 4pm by the time they called our number I had to run home get the card, then drive across town and go to a different agency that was open until 5pm.

I left mom at 4:20pm, drove to our apartment, grabbed the Information, got lost ok enough laughing! you shouldn't be that surprised , finally found the place at 4:57pm! I ran in and practically ran through the door trying to get in before they closed!

And the worst part of all that ....it was Downpouring!!!! So that drive was trecherous and I was not a very nice driver good thing there wasn't a tape recorder because boy that was some sailor language

They were sweet though they told me to take a deep breath and that they would make sure I was taken care of. In 5 minutes I was given my new license and I don't have to do this again until 2017!

So once I was given my new license I got back into the car, drove back to the FIRST tag agency and picked up mom who had to wait in Big Lots to stay out of the rain as the agency had closed after she was done with her license practically.

Once mom was in the car we then drove to the Contemporary Resort because we had dinner reservations at 5:15pm yeah we were late...but they were nice and understood and were able to still seat us. We had a great meal, great service, and great character interaction.

I will have to download the photos from mom's cell phone because we forgot the camera at home in all the confusion!

We were going to stay for Wishes but it was still POURING so we drove home, and curled up in our Jammies!

So it was a busy day but I am in Florida, Disney is 4 exits or so away, and I am ok with that!

Until next time my friend!

Wow what an experience! At least you both now have your licenses. But are you kidding me? they really are good for that long? Here in MS we have to renew every 4 years. Oh well it's always something. Sorry you got rained out this evening. Hope your practice call goes well tomorrow!

Excellent Amy!! Congrats on getting your new license!! I didn't know you could get them already. For some reason, I was thinking that you had to reside in your new state for 6 months before you could get your license. I'm glad that's not the case.
