So it has been a while since we have updated. I will kindly blame my wife for that, she has taken on the necessity for keeping the world updated on behalf of the croft clan. Sadly this has left me out of practice on blogging. I’m not a fan of reading blog posts people write about posting more blogs so I will not say anymore about it and will give an update to the world about our days.
Sarah got a job about a month ago working in a travel vaccination clinic. The job really fell out of no where as a member at church seeked her out. She doesn’t have any front desk experience so this will definitely look good on her resume and it pays pretty well, more than a teacher. It is quite sad that an entry level position working in an office answering phones and checking patients in and out pays more than the educator to our children who puts in hours outside of the 40 in the school making plans and grading papers. Well that is private sector for you, a company that actually makes money is able to pay more than a government supported money whole. Meh.
Shawn is still jobless. Many job openings have come and gone that fit me perfectly yet the jobs were given away before I could even meet someone. I didn’t realize how the job market out there is. I chatted with a few guys at whole foods and central market and found out that they get 400-600 applications when they put a posting up. That is a hard number to distinguish yourself from. So, alas, I trudge on. In the mean time I’m spending a lot of time cooking.
Since I don’t have a job and we don’t really know where my job is going to be when I get one, we are still living with friends. S&S B are blessing us with their extra room. Funny story about that, when we left for France and sold everything they bought our bed to put in their guest room. So we are getting to sleep on our old bed. We are trying to be the best house guests possible by taking care of as many groceries as we can and doing a lot of cooking and cleaning.
Just to prove our dog is weird. Here is a video of how our dog eats her food. (I know we are silly and post a lot about our dog, but she is just that cool)
oh your dog is amazing !! so funny !!
