STEVE HAS GOT A JOB !!!
Remember that job interview he went to about three weeks ago, that he had a 2nd interview for two weeks ago?
Well, after his 2nd interview the people interviewed at least another 100+ people and STILL chose Steve!
He goes in today to sign his contract and starts Thursday next week.
THIS IS THE BEST WEEK IN SO LONG. First we have a FANTASTIC resolution with Harvey Norman's, and now our son has a job after months of trying to find one.
What is even better about this job for Steve is that it is just down the road in Manurewa! He can get there easily on a bike... for now anyway. I'm sure he will get himself a car before too long.
Now, as for today... Hospice for me until 1pm, then I am coming home to finally get around to blog reading! My life has been so BUSY lately (as per usual really) I have been yet again neglecting to keep up with the blog news. My bad.
ABOVE: Here is a better photo of the new lounge suite... I can't wait to get it....
ONWARD...
Steve's job is doing all the deliveries for a Furniture Shop... and keeping the Warehouse in order. It's not THE JOB for life, but for now it's a JOB! And he is keen as mustard to get started and be doing something constructive and physical again.
I got a bit of 'treasure' today at Hospice...
Awesome day so far!
LYNDA/LYNISE: they actually physically interviewed about 25 people.
End of Day: it's been a really nice day... finished off with dinner out.
nite nite.
Steve, congratulations!!! I hope it's everything you're hoping for and more! :)
ReplyDeleteClap Clap way to go Steve, well done, you must be on top of the moon :)
ReplyDeleteAnd Chris, the new lounge suite looks fantastic, can't wait to see pics of it in your place..
Um, I need my fix!!!!
PUPPIES PHOTOS PRONTO please :)

I love the lounge suite - pretty much what I would like for myself (apart from a new-wish cat and a 5.5 year old with NO clues on being careful)... couple of years off for me...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on Steve getting a job... what's it doing?
Maybe you should get a Lotto this week?
Congratulations on all counts
ReplyDeleteGreat News! Well done Steve on your new job!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is fantastic news!! What will Steve be doing (if he wants to share that is). Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is good news, nice to have the kids earning their own buck lol. That lounge look very comfy.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a plesant day so far ...
Yea! time to celebrate now, right?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Steve for landing the job!! That is wonderful! Really wonderful! It has been a good week for you by golly!! I like the dark brown better than the cream. Won't show the dirt and is more casual looking. ...debbie
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Steve (and you!)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS STEVE. WELL DONE.
ReplyDeleteThey picked the best guy after all. I am really wrapped for you all. What a week ah Chris. KAREN PT
Awesome news Steve - congrats :-).
ReplyDeleteYay! Well done Steve! And a great week for the whole family. Fantastic news!
ReplyDeleteExcellent news!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great news week for you! Hopefully it will continue and more good news will come.
ReplyDeleteI love the way they've styled the lounge room. Nice!
Yes, don't keep us in suspense, what sort of work will Steve be doing? WOMBAT
ReplyDeleteWas I the first to guess right? I bet i was yay and see it was a few weeks after the puppies were born so it was meant to be eh!!
ReplyDeletegood grief, interviewing 100 people would be the pits. I've just been involved in interviewing 6 people (teachers aid position) with a child in my class and each interview took min 1 hour, so I had some longgg days last week. Was later told that they normally short list to four candidates but for some reason 6 cv's had been shortlisted. can't even imagine having to sit through 100 interviews, that would get totally confusing. Hope he enjoys the new job and wish him all the best for it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Steve on the job and to you on getting the new suite. Persistence pays!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Steve, though I expect you might miss having his help around the house. Seriously, that is great news.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Steve!!!! must be a relief :0)
ReplyDeletegood news on the couch too. Love the new one!
Freeze bananas with skin on :-)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great job! Heck, once employed you can move on and up much easier.
ReplyDeleteOh and Lynise... I'm thinking they did't actually "interview" 100 more people... maybe looked over their applications :) That would be a crazy task!!
ReplyDeleteWell done Steve He must have been bored shitless having no money car etc. Good time to get financial with the RWC party about to happen.

Wow, congrats to Steve on getting the job. I'm guessing in nz public transport is different. You need a car to get around. In S'pore, our public transport is really great and widely available. Yet we're so spoilt that if I were to go anywhere, I'd find out if it's within walking distance of a train station (subway) or I'd skip it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Steve. Persistance pays off in the end!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a good week for you! Congrats to you both!
ReplyDeleteWonderful news Steve,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations from the UK.
and hugs to the fluffy babes

Wonderful news all round! Hope the week continues to bring more good news.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your son! I have to look for another job soon. I don't earn enough in my current job to support six people.
