Job-front Update

Dave went in for an exit interview & to turn in his pager & time thingy yesterday & met with the head of Human Resources for both Las Vegas sites. Before he even made it in her door, the VP over the Harrah's site (where Dave moved from about 6 months ago) grabbed him & pulled him in to his office. He told Dave he wanted him to come back to the Harrah's site & was confident he could pull the necessary strings to make it happen. Dave tried to switch back to the Harrah's site back in December, but the move was blocked by the VP over the Resort site.

After speaking with the HR lady & documenting everything that had been going on, she was also pretty confident they could get a transfer approved. He hadn't been removed from the computer system yet, so technically he was still considered an employee & wouldn't be subjected to a rehire process & the mandatory 90 day wait.

After telling her he'd think about it & get back to her before the end of the day, Dave met with a business owner we know to talk about working for him. It wasn't the kind of sales he was used to or comfortable with (tele-sales), so he called the HR lady back last night & accepted the offer.

Today he got the call that it's official. His transfer date will be either this Friday or next, which is nice because he's getting a little time off & best of all HE STILL HAS A JOB!!! :D

Thanks for all your prayers & positive thoughts!!

SUPER Underwear Head Boy!

Logan, the unwittingly funny kid, had a conversation with me not long ago. He's even funnier because he doesn't know how funny he actually is.



Logan: "Mom, can I go outside?"
Me: "No, not right now."
Logan: "But I want to."
Me: "I know, but it's too cold out right now."
Logan: "But I won't be cold."
Me: "Sorry buddy, but it's too cold out right now."
Logan: "What if I put underwear on my head & socks on my hands? Can I go out then?"



After that kind show of negotiating skills, he managed to convince me. I think he would've convinced just about anyone with that arguement.

Not the best pic of him, but he wasn't interested in posing that day. I can't imagine why. LOL

Current McKenney News

I know... shocker, huh!?

You know what the word job stands for? Just Over Broke.

Hahahaha

But it's not really all that funny today. This morning Dave resigned from his job of nearly 9 years so he could move on to bigger & better things. Those "things" are yet to be found. It's been a long time coming, but it doesn't change the fact that, at the most, in 6 months from now, we will be just over broke.

Weird thing is I'm not freaking out about it. Yet.

Let the resume updating & job hunt begin! Wish us luck (prayers are even better!).

February is gone!?

February flew by for us. It was a busy month, with Tyler returning home for his schooling. Plus with Logan & Hayleah going to preschool 3 days a week. And we can't forget about Jordan & his schooling (though I think I let a little too much slide with this one).

I'm going to try to catch up on some posts in the next few days, as time permits.

Can you believe Spring is already upon us!?

A Haircut For The Girl!

Princess Hayleah's hair was constantly in her face, if it wasn't pulled back in some piggies or a pony. And even then sometimes it was by the middle of the day. This child plays hard, right alongside her brothers. So, after much pleading from Dave, I took her over to a friend for a cute new 'do. :)

It's such a cute cut on her! (don't mind the blue lips... she's breathing just fine here. such a faker! ;o) ) She's showing off her Princess book her Yaya sent to her. She LOVES this book. So much so, she took it outside with her to "read", only to accidently leave it out there overnight. Of course it rained. And, of course, we didn't discover this for a few days, since it rained for most of the week. And, of course, we're now on the hunt for a new Princess book.
