1 year anniversary and NEW CAR!


Hey Everyone, Friday and today we celebrated our 1 year Anniversary. We went to the Hilton Waterfront in Huntington Beach and stayed 1 night. Awesome view from our room, we went to the Palm Court in the hotel... Andrew ordered the duck which was awesome and I ordered the Salmon which was awesome and followed dinner with a banana foster. Which was very good also. Saturday we woke up late, ate breakfast at Mimi's Cafe in Corona and stopped by the Honda dealership in Riverside. We stopped just to look at the civic.... but after some thought and some coercion we ended up walking out the door with a 2006 Honda Civic sedan silver, such a smooth ride and it makes me feel like I am driving a lexus not a junked escort anymore. I absolutely love it and it gets better gas mileage than my escort...imagine that! It was a little bit more than we wanted to pay but we will keep the car for 10 years and we are looking to pay it off pretty quickly. I can't wait to drive it again :) Also later went hiking to a waterfall near upland, here is the picture:


A side note, I ended walking out on my ending job this last friday. My boss yelled at me for the last time, so on my lunch I decided to go to the President of the company and explain to him what happened. I already gave them my two weeks notice on Wednesday, but Friday she started retaliating against me for me leaving. So, I told him the situation and that I cannot handle this kind of stress for another week and half... it is so ridiculous. Through all my tears in front of him and telling him of my frustration with the position and her as my boss... we both agreed that it would better to make today my last day. I told him, you know I really tried to do this the right way so I could get a good reference and be re-hireable if necessary. He guaranteed me I would be getting a good reference. I told my boss that when I was up the hill I ran into Charlie and had a conversation with him and we agreed that today should be my last day. She said with an attitude, What do you want me to do with your check, I said you can mail it. She said are you sure? I said yes. She said with more attitude, I hope you represented the situation correctly. I said, I did. As of right now, this is my last moment here.
I will be getting a check this week for this last pay period, my two weeks in which I was trying to complete, and any vacation time I had in the bank that was accrued. Which was fair. I didn't want this job to end this way but I guess this is the way it had to happen. So now, I contacted my new employer and wanted to see if it would be possible to start earlier due to new availability. Haven't heard from them, but Monday I should hear whether or not they would start me early which will be like me working two jobs and only working one. So, any money would be nice to put towards my new car!
