The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Tuesday after work I had another interview, for another position. This time though, I think I have a bit of an edge on the rest. You see, the company I am applying to work for used to be merged with my dad's company, House of Graphics. They were in the same building for the longest time, and all treated me like family. The interview was great, somewhat of a reunion with those fellas. The facility is brand new, with state of the art equipment. The attitude of the company and it's employees is completely positive, which is a huge contrast to the current environment I am in. They offer a 401 k plan and benefits, it's like heaven! After we talked for almost an hour and a half I thanked him, jumped in my car and drove home. He called me back yesterday afternoon and had one question for me...Are you dependable?

This morning I came into work and had a huge stack of papers in front of my computer with a sticky note from my boss that read: Chase, please see me on this right away. It's not as bad as it looks. Assuming that I'd be doing 4 hours of typesetting I slowly dragged my body to my boss' office. However she was right, there was just a few lines here and there that needed re-typed. The booklet is called "Wedding Alternatives" and it a guide to planning your wedding without using the commercially prescribed aspects that seem to distract from the truly important things about marriage and a wedding.
