I'm always second choice!

So, yesterday I got a phone call from someone letting me know that I was second pick, because first pick wasn't quite what they thought she would be - surprisingly, not the first time I've heard this. The travel agency called me back and offered the job to me that I interviewed for a few weeks ago! Just like when I got the call from Pam last year - after the nice rejection letter - that I was second pick, but they would love to have me for the job. Sure, it's not flattering knowing you were not first choice, but in the end, who has the job? ME! Now I know that when I go into job interviews I need to state: "I know you will probably pick someone before me, but trust me, it won't work out! You'll end up calling me back in a few weeks offering me the job, so save you and me both the hassle, hire me now!" Regardless of all the second pick stupidity, I start my travel agent job Tuesday. I'm still working at the court, this just gives me another job on top of that. A girl's gotta stay busy!

On another topic, Jerime started school on Monday. He's still pretty excited about it, but I think he feels old being there with a bunch of 18 yr olds. He said that in his first class everyone had their cell phones out texting - which made him feel old because when he started college before, people didn't even carry around cell phones! I tried to make him feel better when I told him that a guy that works in my building is taking a spanish class and one of the girls in his class was born the year he graduated high school! I'm sure that really makes ya feel old!! But, I am so proud of Jerime going back to college!!! I'm sure he'll do great in it, he seems so determined. I tried to get his picture of his "first day of school," but he wouldn't let me. Ellie then proceeded to tell me that I needed to get a picture of Greg, since it was his first day of school too. Here it is!


Hope everyone is having a great week!!
