For all of you non-rx writing people.... PRN means as needed. In dental school we had to learn how to write prescriptions and read them and this just stuck so if you were wondering what that meant.
So last night & tonight & most tomorrow, Craig is in Seattle for a conference. Yes, another one. He calls tonight and about an hour into talking he drops a bomb. He's good at that. "So I have bad news" My mind starts racing and thinking about every worst situation. This time I thought "he's not going to Utah at all with us" "He's gotta fly to Maine" instead I hear. We got a job in Alaska and I'm leaving again....AND when Aimee & Kyle are here. That seriously is the worst part about his job. I don't mind when it's a few days here and there but holy smokes it seems like he is traveling a TON this year so far. Also I hate that they can just spring it onto him quick like that (technically it's not his fault, but the client that wants him there)
---So this job. I guess a year ago 2 guys went and marketed up there in Alaska and never really heard much. So last week the company calls them up and says, we want you guys to come up and write a report and do a job. Just out of the blue.---
It makes me feel so grateful because of job security. Although I don't worry with Kleinschmidt. Even reading their website...I'd want to hire them too. So on that note here is the application that you just simply need to print off, fill out and a referral would be a bonus.
DO YOU WASH DISHES YES NO
CAN YOU MAKE ME LAUGH YES NO
ARE YOU WILLING TO COME HERE AND SIT AND PLAY WITH THE GIRLS EVERY NIGHT
YES NO
DO YOU LIKE BIG DOGS AND DO THEY SCARE YOU-IF SO, DO NOT CONTINUE
YES NO
ARE YOU A GOOD LISTENER? JAYCEE AND I WILL, YES WILL, TALK YOUR EAR OFF ALL NIGHT LONG YES NO
ARE YOU A HEALTHY EATER BECAUSE YOU WILL BE EATING FOOD THAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT NOT WANT TO EAT YES NO
***okay so this was just to be funny***
But for reals...here this:
May 6-May 8 Seattle
May 22-24 Hood River, OR
May 28-June 1 Bend, OR
June 11-13 Alaska
July 14-27 Nowhereville, ID
And then tonight also found that sometime between the Alaska one & Idaho that he might have to go to CA. Sheesh. On some of them I've thought about going with him but 1-having a large dog that is protective, large, stinky and yes, large wouldn't work 2-paparazzi parties already scheduled 3-young womens calling So we aren't able to jump in and join him although it was super tempting for the Seattle trip.
Now add on:
May Dalynne and her family are coming in town
2 weeks later Aimee & her family are coming
3 weeks later we are going out there FOREVER
Dawn following us back
Craig parents & Aunt coming in October
MAYBE Dalynne family again in October
MAYBE us out in November
***although all the visitors and visits are the fun part***
Craig has decided that he won't be taking his SE test in October. With all the job sites, and you have to remember every day out of the office on visits means that's a day behind in all his other stuff he's gotta get done, taking days off for family & taking days off for our trip, and again all the job sites he's feeling a little overwhelmed. I told him a week ago, and it may sound silly, but to pray about it. I honestly think it's best than to cram another thing in and it's not like this is an easy test by any means. The pass rate in October 2012 was only 43% for the first section and 25% for the second section.. http://ncees.org/exams/se-exam/ Did I mention it is a 16 hour test!!!! http://ppi2pass.com/faqs/structural-pe-exam-faqs#Exam_Pass_Rates
I feel pretty confident in him though because duh, he's a smarty pants, but also he passed CA PE THE FIRST TIME! In 2010 (he took it in 2011) the pass rate was 36% for the first section, second section which is only a CA specific test 39% and the last section again a CA specific test the pass rate of 40%. So I'm confident he'll pass his SE test but he needs the time & focus to put into it. I think it'll be better for him to study during the winter. So I'm glad he made that decision although it pushes it back 6 months.
So there ya go. Now you are bored and know about Craig's work life. haha.
