It went fairly well. The computers we use must be the first computers invented. The keyboard actually has 24 "f" keys. The system at PBB is almost the same as Bucklands, so I'm finding the transition easy. PBB is a lot anal about the little details, and that's where I'm having a bit of trouble.
But all is going well.

DaVinci Code
I finished the book yesterday. It was good, but I thought it would be a lot better.
I've read Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, now I have to go out and get Deception Point and the other book by him.
We saw Constantine yesterday too! Not too shabby.
I'm reading a book called "Hurry up and wait" By Diane Collier. It's about being a Canadian Military wife. The author's husband was in 2cer up in Petawawa and Grant says that his name sounds familiar. He might have been an officer in command or sumthing like that.

Can I become Bilingual in 2 weeks?
I applied to work at the border about a month ago. I got a letter in the mail today saying that I passed the screening process and that I've got to go write a french test in April. The top 100 scores will than proceed further on.
Well, on the application, I explicitly stated that I don't speak french, I don't read it well and I don't write it. But they still screened me in!
I'm going to write the test anyways, and hope that less than 100 ppl write it and than I'll go on through to the interview.

The Teething Woes.
Mason is teething again. He is getting 3 molars in! He's had a fever for a couple of days now. Poor baby.

Bathing a baby??
We took Mason out of his bath seat a couple of days ago so he can have freedom in the tub.
But he's just TOO crazy and hard to handle. He goes wild in there, splashing, standing up, crawling. He's bumped his head a couple of times already too. We don't want to hold him a lot when he's in the tub, because it would just be like he's in his seat. But we don't want him to hurt himself.
So what are we going to need to do with him? Soon he's going to be too big for the seat and I'm worried he's going to really hurt himself because he's just so crazy in the tub.

Happy Birthday Mason!!!!!
It's Mason's 1st birthday today!!!!!
I can't believe it's already been a year. *SNIFF*
He hasn't mastered walking just yet, but he sure is doing well. He can make it across the carpet.
He's getting quite the personality too. He's such a boy! We have a bouncy chair that goes right into a rocking chair. Well, he loves to stand in it when it's a rocking chair.

A phone call tonight...
And it gave me great news. I got the job with PBB. The manager apologized profusely about not getting back to me earlier.
So I start on the 21st. I have another week to stay at home with my little Mason.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sooooooooooo I found out that the wonderful manager at PBB still hasn't made a decision. She said maybe she'll have one by the end of today. Maybe being the operative word!!
This is really crazy. She had said to me that she wanted someone in by the 14th. Well obviously she isn't going to have a person working by that date.
There may be a lot of ppl that she's interested in and having a hard time deciding, or she's just not very decisive!!
Let's hope Monday will be the magical day. I believe that Monday will be a good day, because it's Mason's 1st birthday. Only good things can come outta that day.

I hate it when.................
I've been waiting today for that all important call from the broker. So far, I've gotten 2 calls, one from a friend and one from a telemarketer.
But yesterday, I didn't recieve one call during the day. Of course, I wasn't expecting a call.
Ahh, don't you hate it when you're waiting for a call, and people decide that it's the day to call you????????????????

Finally!
I have The DaVinci Code in my hands!! I've waited oh so long for it.
I finished off The Rule Of Four. It was a pretty good book.
It seems like I'm paying so much money in late fees, so I have decided only to take out one book at a time!

Ughh
Now I'm not sure if have this job at the brokerage or not. I was supposed to get a call today from the manager, but I was waiting around decided to call her. She said that she still had an interview to do tomorrow night, and she hasn't made a decision. She'll tell me on Friday morning.
I'm getting really angry. What is she waiting for? She did tell me she wanted to see who is all out there. Well, here I am, waiting for this position with more than enough experience and education.
She doesn't know that I've quit my prior job. If I was still there, and she told me on Friday, and wants the person hired to start on Monday, well that doesn't give enough time to quit.
But I am relieved now. At least I know why she's taking a while. I think she may be getting a little peeved at me being persistant. But she should see that I really want this job.

Sewing Machine
I posted on Freecycle that I'd like to get a sewing machine if anyone has one that they don't need. Well, someone is bringing one over this afteroon. She said that it's fairly old, and she hasn't used it for a while. There isn't any instructions and it'll need oiling before I can use it. Well, that's fine. I'd like to make some very simple curtains for Mason's room. While out at Walmart, I saw some cute fabrics!! We have a star and moon theme going on in the room, but I saw Carebear fabric that I love. Maybe I'll get some and just make a sheet for his bed or something.
Naps
Mason has been awesome at nap time. He's going down sooooooooo easily and staying down for 2 hrs or more! I had a pretty good rest this morning while Mason was napping.
Tomorrow is the day
That I find out that I get the job :) I'm not worried tho, I know i gots tha job.
Not again...
Yesterday around 2, I started to feel crappy. By the night, I was throwing up, um.. having to go to the washroom very often, if you get my drift. I was just so tired. I thought it might have been a bug, or maybe even food poisoning. I didn't eat much tho, I had a cinnabon and some chicken noodle cup of soup. But, the cinnabon was sitting out since Friday, so maybe I got it from there..
Today, I'm much better. I still have pretty bad cramps and my stomach is roiling, but it's better than lastnight.

Party time
We had Mason's first birthday party on Saturday. Lots of fun was had by everyone. We hardly have any pictures on our camera, because we lost it and it resurfaced after the party was over.
Mason got a whole bunch of toys and clothes. He had lots of fun with his cousins too, but he made most of them cry. He also had lots of fun with his birthday cake and was wearing a little in his hair thanks to the helpful hand of his dad.
I thought that the party was a little hectic, but now as I think about it, it's going to be 10 times worse with the upcoming birthdays!
Oh yah, Mason is really working on walking. He's taking a couple of steps at a time by himself. Val says that she thinks he'll be walking by the 14th, when his real birthday is!

I did it
I went for my interview with the broker today. It went very well. The manager was talking like I already had the job. She really is interested, but she has to do a couple more interviews. I asked how many other ppl applied and she said quite a few and a lot of them were truckers. Well, truckers do deal with customs but they don't know any of the behind the scene things. I'll learn on Wednesday if I get it (but I know I will)
So on that note, I quit my job today. I was driving back to Kingston from the inteview and I just couldn't stand the idea of working another day.
Everyone wish me luck that I do get this job!
