News!!!

Guess what? It's finally happening! Last weekend I interviewed for a job as a technical writer at Spillman Technologies in Salt Lake City. I had a lot of fun at the interview, but thought there was no way I'd get the job! (I'm not good at all that technology crap!) But I got a phone call on Monday offering me a job! The income and benefits are better than I'd even hoped for! I start on May 5th and will be moving to Salt Lake on Saturday 2nd. And another great part--I'm moving with Sarah Prescott, my old roommate of 2 years! I'm so excited to have our duo back together again! The Lord really has had His hand in this. On Monday morning, I was so frustrated, I was sure I wouldn't get this job ... but within 24 hours, I got a job offer with amazing incentives, and then I got an offer from my Sarah for a place to live! It's all fallen into place and I'm so excited!! Email me if you want my address. We'll be looking for a bigger place after Sarah's apartment contract runs out in June, so for now, it'll be temporary. But, if any of you are in the Utah area, let me know and we'll play!!! ;-) brookelynbyui@yahoo.com

Details

Oh, my loving, demanding friends and family! Guess I have to fill in some gaps! Except, a lot of details are still missing. I'll tell you what I know. My housing contract is over on Saturday. It's a dang good thing, because I'm probably not going to last much longer without killing some roommates. I am SO over this place! I've loved my times here, but those are definitely over. Right now, I'm working for the newspaper in Rexburg at a job that I love with people that I tolerate and a paycheck that depresses me. I could probably do better working at Wendy's! So, in light of the past few AMAZING weekends in Utah with friends and family, I feel that I need to go there. I've researched jobs, and all it would take is 3-4 months of working in my field, and I'd have enough $$ saved for a mission, which is my ultimate goal. 1 small problem. I haven't heard back from anyone who wants to hire me! I'm down to just a few more days of housing, and then it looks like I'll be moving into my parents' house in Idaho Falls and commuting to Rexburg to work. I'd love to give my notice, but I need to be sure I have another job first!

Ideally:
hear back from one of the thousands of companies I've applied for and be hired for a technical writing/editing position.
Give my 2 weeks notice and train a new person in my job.
Move to Grandma's basement and pay no rent. Work 40 hours a week, find a great ward and a great bishop and fill out mission papers and get a call and work some more and then leave by the end of the summer! and in my spare time, I'll be able to play with all my family and friends in that area!

Until then, I'll live with my parents and commute, then I can move into Joelle's house for a month if I'm staying in Rexburg. uggh!

Anyone know of anyone who's hiring in the writing/editing fields?
