Dad Called

I was really happy to get a call from my Dad today. He sounded like his ole self! When I picked up he said "Is that you?" playfully like he always does. I never thought I would be so happy to hear him overuse a joke!! He says he's feeling a lot better and hopes to be out of the hospital by the weekend. I'll stop by to visit him tomorrow after class.

I Got the Job

Jenny called me to let me know that I got the job at Standard Process. I have to stop by today or tomorrow to pick up forms for a physical on Friday. I look forward to working there, everyone I know that works there likes it. They have a GREAT benefit package.

Live Fire Training at WCTC

We didn't have our normal training last Thursday because of a special training we were having tonight at WCTC. We took advantage of the their burn building to have live fire training.
It rained the entire time we were there, but we were still able to complete 5 evolutions.
WCTC's compressor was down, so we had to take Dousman, who was nice enough to let us use their system to refill all of our bottles.
Now that I am home, I am VERY sore. I'm going to be hurting tomorrow!

Interview - Standard Process

Just got back from my interview with Jenny Nelson for the 3rd shift Material Handler position over at Standard Process. SP is only 1 mile from my house, so if I get the job, I'll be able to ride my bike to work and save a ton of money. Currently I am driving about 30 miles one way, wasting about an hour and a half of my day driving. Plus SP has some great benefits, health insurance and a gym open to employees 24 hours a day.

I feel the interview went well and I got a tour of the plant. I really hope I get this position.

Dad's in the Hospital

On my way to Linux class. I got a call from Dad's friend Donna. She says that he became very ill while visiting and she had to take him to Waukesha Memorial She says it doesn't look good, he is in ICU. This solves my mother's concern over not seeing or hearing from my Dad for a couple of days. So I call Dani and my mother to let them know.

Mom's taking Aaron to class and he is adamant about going to complete our final exam. So I decide to go as well. I had to much trouble focusing on my test and Todd let me go advising me that I can make up the test later.

In the hospital, Dad doesn't look good at all. He is unconscious, on a respirator, and every other machine imaginable. He is in total system shut down and the Doctors only give him a 20% chance of surviving.
