On Friday, April 13, 2007, I left Owensboro for a job interview with EDS in Winchester. On Monday, April 16, I interviewed for another position with the same company. I got the job and I’ll start Monday the 23rd.

When I got to EDS on Monday, I talk to John, the guy that is the network security supervisor. We discuss a few things, and then he says, “follow me… I’m gonna let you shadow some of the guys in my department”. I go back to his department and meet some of the guys… nice folks (geeks.. definitely a good thing!)… and watch them go about their tasks… I do this for about a hour or so and then John asks me if I can start TOMORROW. I had to decline… citing that I didn’t live here yet, and so Monday became my start date.

Following that, I left EDS, paperwork that I need to fill out in hand and head to Richmond. Taking a tip from Rachel Ray, I asked some of the guys in the dept. if they’ve ever lived in Richmond. A few of the guys suggested Foxglove Apartments. I check them out and I have a list of about 7 units that I went to and checked out. I narrowed it down to three: http://home.poptartweb.org/aptpics/. As I looked back on the three… I have pretty much narrowed it down to the $400/month location on Patsy. It’s a 1br/1ba, but it will suit my needs. I filled out the form today and faxed and mailed it to the company. It takes 24-48 hours to get an approval, and I’d really like to start moving in on Saturday. They said that I could fax it up there and they’d start looking at it while the actual application and check was in the mail.

I’ll miss Owensboro… but this will be what needs to happen so that I can finish up school at EKU.
