My Grandpa rocks. =)

First of all, he got himself an email account so now I get to keep in touch with him. (Email’s the only way to guarantee I’ll keep in touch - it’s easy and you don’t have to wait for a convenient time, unlike writing, cards or phone calls.)

AND - and this is the cool thing - he’s started writing down stories. Stories about his childhood. This is the greatest thing - now his grandkids can get to know him as he was then and can get a better picture of who he is now. =)

Sometimes I look at David and am sad. Someday, we’ll have kids. They’ll have kids. Our grandkids won’t know the David I know and love now - and he’s so wonderful! I know that we all change and that most of the time that’s a good thing, but as often as I can (as often as he’ll let me), I take pictures and videos of him - I want our kids to know him as he is now. I wonder a lot about what my parents and grandparents were like when they were my age, just starting out in marriage, in careers…

So, I’m so excited that Grandpa’s started writing things down! It’s a window into the past, into who my grandfather is. =)

I’m thinking of putting those stories online. Anyone (*cough* Mom *cough*) want me to?

The woman who called me earlier this week called back to set up an interview for today. I had a marathon 12:45-3:00 super-big-company interview. This was the first interview I’ve had with a major corporation… The biggest until now were Taylor and Anderson, which are *tiny* next to One America. The building I was in is among the tallest downtown and takes up an entire city block. =) Needless to say, the interview was quite a formal process. A three-page application, an hour-long session with HR, then an interview with the department head. I’ll let you know if I make the cut for second interviews.

The most interesting thing is why I was the first person interviewed for the position - turns out I had the same major (BA of Music Systems) as the girl who vacated the position. The VP said I was the only other person she’d even heard of who had that major. =)
