Lets start with the cruddy stuff, So we can end on positive note.
On Thursday Jillian found out the her boss had been let go from her position.
Because Jillian was only there to support her boss, Jillian's position will note be required. Jillian is being made redundant.
Jillian's boss was very sorry that she had put Jillian in this position and reassured Jillian was the greatest employee she had ever had and would do everything in her power to help Jillian get another job.
Jillian's boss has to the end of the week and Jillian has to the end of August. Jillian will get a severance package as well.
After the initial shock, Jillian got right back up to her high spirited self and has applied to over 20 jobs already and has been offered a job at one of the Hospitals she works with.
Jillian remains in high spirits and is seeing this as an opportunity to expand her networking, social circles (as her future job may have more than one person in the office) and to find a job that she will really enjoy.
As soon as Natalie (Jillian's sister) found out the news, She put her nose to the grind stone and came up with two possible leads. They are both very exciting leads, but I will I keep them under my hat for now, so I am not to jinx them.
I think Jillian has nothing to worry about with her references and ability. I think anyone who hires her is lucky to have her and I think they will see that in the interview.
Okay lets talk about some fun stuff...
Thursday started off on an average note but ended quite well..
I got to get a skate in as usual, but it was refreshing in the sense I got to clear my mind.
After Jillian got from work (which she finished early, cause what are they going to do fire her. hahaha.). We hung out with Jillian's Little Savanna
We all went to the local Mall/ forum/ shopping center to spend some birthday money I had left over. And guess what for?? yes it was skateboarding equipment. A new deck and a new set of
trucks.
But before I got to feed my skateboarding addiction. We all went to the park with the pooches and had a delicious dinner. It was nice to have Savanna around to relieve the tension of Jillian's day.
Friday I can not remember. I think we both worked?
That Saturday we had already made plans we couldn't get out not that we really wanted to.
We went to Jillian's cousin's boyfriends football game. It was very fun and way more entertaining when you know a cat out there.
We unfortunately had to leave early, kind of bitter sweet.
As we had a dinner to go out to with a bunch of friends. My friend Nick(with broken leg who is actually walking like a champ now) had one stipulation,
We had to eat out side due to the heat. But Murphy's Law step in and made it ran. hahah. We still had a great dinner and a our friends were super supportive
for Jillian. Which I am sure made her very happy.
Sunday we both worked, JIllian played soft ball and played a great game from what I hear. We had our usual sunday dinner which still is what I look forward to every sunday dinner.
The next week played out pretty much the same work, skateboarding, work, oh we had dinner with the Hodgii and Momma Bill and Big Poppa we played cranium.
It was super fun, boys verses girls. and lets just testosterone rules.
Friday 31st is where the action starts up again for Jillian and I.
Jillian's Little Savanna was in a musical at 1:00pm. and it was adorable. It was for a two week camp where they had to build the set, costumes and learn all the lines. In just two weeks. It was
amazing and we were so proud of Savanna.
Later on that day about 4:45pm
Our friends got married.
Jillian and I felt so lucky as they had only selected a few people to be there for the ceremony. We were two of the lucky 14 who got share this occasion.
It was just a civil ceremony as they already have a wedding planned for the same day next year. It was for visa purposes as they are both Canadian.
Any way this gave them an excuse to have a pre mini wedding night.
The judge who performed the service was so nice and made the ceremony very special.
We all got dressed up still. After the ceremony we all went out for a grand dinner. Where they served the newly weds with a beautiful substitute for a wedding cake.
Which some how we all turned the happy birthday song into happy wedding quite successfully.
Our friends have quite a taste for dance music. So after dinner we all headed out to a club and danced the night away.
It was really a spectacular night.
laughs, drinks, tears and a wedding.
Saturday Jillian and I both worked.
Lets just say I was running at about 67% as we didn't get in until 3 in the morning and I had had a few red bull vodka's aka my devils drink.
After we finished work Jillian and I headed over to Big Poppa's and Momma bill's for a beautiful dinner and a game of cards called "spades".
Again it was a battle of the sexes and this time Estrogen gets to wear the winning grin.
Today Jillian and I have to work, Jillian has another soft we have the Sunday dinner up at Brother and Sister in-laws place. They live near by a small lake, so the family got to have a swim and play around in the water before dinner. It was such a great end to the week end.
I hope you all are well
Matty
