Picture Yourself in a Boat on a River

We got the HD yesterday. Holy moly is it awesome. Weve got some serious 5.1 going on and the 480p is better looking than I thought my TV could be. We watched the Heros on the HD last night. It was glorioius. The true test will be tomorrow night, LOST. Can it make Kates sumptious lips and Jacks furrowed brow better? Or how about Sawyers quick witted comments in surround sound? Did I just slip into a Harlequin novel? Well find out next time!

Get a Haircut and Get a Real Job

I had my interview. I went to the HR office at the Sears, told them I was here for an interview with the Car Care Center Manager. the lady told me to have a seat and shed call him. This was her end of the conversation.

Your interview is here.
How can you have the day off? You just got off of vacation.
Its the guy from Michigan who was here last week.
OK, Ill send him over.

So, I went over to the Auto Center and asked for the man. I was told that hes here but its his day off. I finally get to talk to him and the interview goes well. I have to take a drug test and have a background check.

Its My Fun Day

We had a sleepy Sunday today. Watched hours of football, soccer and baseball. Got some groceries. Went swimming. Ate delicious dinner prepaired by my glorious wife. Its nice to be on vacation. I am looking forward to going back to work tomorrow. Itll be nice to know that money is coming again. Not to mention getting out of the house.

Weve got the Heros DVRd right now. Theyre replaying the first 3 episodes. Itll allow us to see weather or not the show is worth watching. 3 episodes comercial free in a row. NICE.

Ground Control To Major Tom

We have arrived. After 35+ hours on the road and 2 nights keeping the boys from barking in hotels its good to be home. Were almost completely moved in, the pool has been used thrice already (with looks of amazement from the locals), and I have a job. I actually have 2 jobs. 2 jobs and an interview on Monday.

First I went to my interview at Sears only to find that the man I needed to talk to is on vacay. So I walked around for a little while (you dont need no car to get out of the house) and found an IHOP with a Now Hiring sign. I went in and asked for an application. Turned it in and asked if there was someone I could talk to right away. The manager came over and asked if I had any serving experience. I told him I did and he said that they had 1 person training right now but theyd be done this week and the trainer works again on Wednesday and I can start then. Yes, that was the extent of my interview. "Do you have serving experiance?" So with the garantee of income I could rest a little easier. IHOP is not where I want to work but it will put food on the table.

I continue on my walk and come across VooDoo Daddys Magic Kitchen. I notice theyre hiring servers also. I fill out an app and ask for an interview. The man isnt in until the next day so I come back then. The next day I talk to the man, this interview goes as follows. "Do you have any serving experiance?" "Yeah." "Do you know much about cajun food?" "A little but not much." "OK, well teach you about that. When do you want to start?" I start Monday.

With a job that is certian to be better than IHOP, I head back to the apartment. I decided to call Sears up and find out whats going on. As it turns out there was a mixup between the HR department and the Auto Center manager. He will be back from vacation Monday and I have an interview at 10. Its nice to know that I dont have to get this job, but it would be even nicer to have it and not have to depend on the kindness of a stranger.

Will the Real Shedu Please Stand Up, Please Stand Up

It happened. We ordered 64tacos from the Taco Bell. The woman at the register almost started crying when we ordered but then she got distracted by herself and went on with the order. We took pictures of the tacos and then started devouring. Wayne, Neil, Bri and Matt all ate The Square Root of the Tacos. (Yes I was out eaten by a girl. (Thats a wierd thing to say.))

There was a heated debate over who manages the Shedus MySpace. (And we now know so you might as well admit it.

Oh, and if youre wondering, that picture is of Jenna being tibbed. She didnt point, but she maliciously tibbed me so she got what was coming.

This will probably be the last time I post before we leave. Ill see you in Arizona!

The Final Countdown

As of 3:20pm this afternoon I am unemployed. Oddly I dont have much to say on the topic. I made some good friends while I was there and learned to hate others in ways I never knew possible. (You know who you are.) With that said, all thats left is packing. Lots and lots of packing.

Carry on My Wayward Son

Its gone. I am amazed at the efficiency of the Bargain Corner. I put an ad for The Green Fever in yesterday, it posted today and the car is sold already. Its gone to a couple that is more in need of a dying car. I trust it will be treated well. It will be missed.
