Kohls update

Josh said the interview went well. He talked to the lady for 20 minutes. She asked a lot of questions and Josh got talk a lot which is different than the first interview he had. So he felt pretty confident in his answers. She told him that it would be 2-3 weeks before she got back to him. She did say that he was in the running for assistant or a store manager position. Plus he found out the pay is a lot better than Wal-Mart's base salary.

Oh and Jackson caught another chipmunk. It was quite entertaining to see it happen as I was absent from the original catching of the chippy.

We are headed to Rhythm & Booms tomorrow and off to the Farm Sunday for the 3rd Annual Redneck Fireworks Extravaganza. I am sure I will have some interesting stories to share after this weekend.

Kohl's

Last week Tuesday I was home alone and searching for Josh jobs. Hey there is nothing on TV this time of year and I want Josh to get a job soon! I usually make a list of the positions that I find and then at night or on his day off he applies for the jobs that he likes. Well last Tuesday we hit Job hunter's GOLD! There was a store manager position open at the Kohl's in Lake Delton. Yes it is about a 45 minute commute from Sun Prairie but, it is a Store Manager position. Josh called on his cell phone on his way home that night and I told him of the position. We talked about it for a little while and he came home and he was still talking about it and was VERY interested in it. He just went on and on about it and how excited he was and all the changes that he was going to make to his resume to help himself stand out. I honestly don't know how he slept that night. I am sure that he was up not too long after I left in the morning and was working on the resume.

On Monday of this week a Store Manager and an Assistant Store Manager position in Madison opened up. Josh re-emailed the recruiter and said that he wanted to be considered for the Madison positions also. We expected to wait a little while to hear anything as job hunting is a fairly long process. Yesterday Josh got a phone call to set up a phone interview for today. HOPEFULLY, keep all your fingers crossed, he performs so well in his phone interview that they set up an actual interview!!! Let's hope!! I will update afternoon to tell you the results of the interview.

Killer

In the past few weeks Jackson has been driven insane by the family of chipmunks that have moved into the landscaping in front of our apartment. Josh occasionally lets him off his leash to smell them out and chase them up the rain spout. Well tonight Josh did that as usual and a little chippy ran out of the drain spout. Well ,he met his maker pretty quickly as Jackson killed him pretty much instantly. This is surprising because Jackson is usually scared of his own shadow. We wouldn't expect him to actually catch and kill another living animal. It is really hard to believe that something this cute:



Could do this:

I am sure that you think that I am weird for taking this picture, but people take pictures of trophy bucks all the time. This is Jackson's trophy kill. I doubt he will catch anything ever again.
