This summer has been pretty crazy. First of all, Nashville is crazy hot. It's been consistently in the 90's since June. And now that we are in the hottest month of the year, we have been blessed with temps in the 100s with super high humidity. Basically we're melting here.
Plus, the air conditioner in our house is too small to keep up with the heat so we come home from work to be greeted by an 85 degree reading on the thermometer (and that's the inside!) Hopefully the heat decides to break soon, but I'm afraid we're still in for quite a bit more.
Rob and I have traded off and on being out of work this summer. I quit my job at Vanderbilt in May and was doing some temporary work through Vanderbilt until about a month ago. I got a call out of the blue from a company that found my resume on Career Builder. (Finally after 2 years of having my resume posted on there, it paid off!) I decided to interview with them even though it sounded like a job that I had never really done before. Right away at the interview I felt like it would be a great company to work for. I felt like they liked me, but wasn't sure if it would come through. They called me back for a second interview after the 4th of July and that same day called me to offer me the job! I was nervous waiting to start because the job is more technical than anything I've ever done before, but my first day on the job I was calm and confident. It was one of those rare experiences of knowing that I'm in the right place at the right time.
By the way, the company's name is Sentry. It's a sister company of HMS (Health Management Systems). They are basically a company that helps hospitals take their medical records and make them electronic.
It's a big blessing right now because it pays WAY better than any job I could have gotten at Vanderbilt and just in time because Rob will be student teaching this fall and not bringing in an income at all. They have some pretty good benefits and I have room to grow in this company. A lot of people work from home too so I'm hoping that I'll be able to eventually do that. We'll see I guess.
So, perhaps a boring post because there aren't any pictures, but I'll post something soon of some of the fun things we've been able to fit into the summer.
