I will be working for a staffing agency in West Des Moines. The organization has been around since the mid-1960's and has 200 locations in the US and Canada. So I'm not going to work for some small operation. The nice part about that is they have refined the skills over the past 40-some years and they know what works and what doesn't. Also, I'll have the small office feel as there are currently 4 people in the office (the branch manager, 2 staffing specialists, and the receptionist). Myself and another individual who I have yet to meet will be joining the office as staffing specialists. As I mentioned I will start this week and help out with answering the phones and just general getting familiar with how the company specific programs work. The other newbie is starting either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. So, I'll get a little jump on being familiar in the office and I get my choice of open desks :)
As for my last day of "freedom" tomorrow...I am going to join my Grandpa Higg for a nice round of golf in Lynnville. I don't get out to golf much but it is great to be able to do so with my Grandpa who is in his mid-70s and still going strong. This is the same guy that in his mid-50s was doing RAGBRAI with me while I was in my teens!!! Love you Grandpa!
I'll keep you all posted on my golf score, as well as (and most importantly) how my new job is treating me. Thanks for all of the love and support that everyone has shown to us over the past year. I also want to thank Jenn and my girls for helping me to keep my sanity and remember what the REAL priorities in life are.
Cheers
