Holy Moly It's Been A Long Time

Yep, it's been forever and alot of stuff has happened. Too much to go into now but this weekend was great fun! Well, it started out kinda crappy. I applied for the Respiratory Manager position at a small specialty hospital in northeast Franklin County about 3 weeks ago. I called the HR department after 2+ weeks and again last Monday to find out if I was going to be called for an interview. Well, Thursday, I got an e-mail stating that the position was filled and the HR rep didn't know why I wasn't called for an interview because I had an "very good" work history and resume. I gave her a call to express my disappointment and amazement that an internal candidate wasn't even interviewed (I know that wasn't right). She told me that she still didn't know why but the hiring person had an idea of who she wanted and that she just hired her. I then called the Manager Liaison for HR. I told her my story and she said that although she couldn't do anything about it, she would make it a teaching moment for the hiring person. Whatever! It still smells like last week's fish!
As I tend to make lemonade out of lemons, I now can go to camp this summer. I just have to complete my application and get it to my girl, Monica!
Friday morning (about 4 am) we left for South Bend to see the Irish Blue Gold Game. We had dinner with Don, Preston, Marshall, Mitchell and Micheal at Papa Vino's Friday night. What a great time! It sounds like the 3 graduating seniors have job opportunities and they are looking forward to graduation. We got some insight into the football team and we got them up to speed on the happenings in Columbus (they were just in town for Easter - oops!). Saturday, we met up with the Schaetzle's. Lina hadn't been to the Basilica or Grotto, so we showed them those sites and then headed over to the game. Of course the coaches didn't show much as far as plays were concerned, but it was a very warm sunny day and there is nothing like watching football and not freezing you keester off!
Last night, I went to Jesus Jam - Extreme Makeover. It was a wonderful night of laughs , talks and praise. Of course I got to see the kids and give them their "Shirts." Here is a short explanation of this years, "The Shirt."













Rise and Strike is taken from the song "Hike, Notre Dame," Rise and Strike is a call to action. Defend Our Honor is the answer to the call of Rise and Strike. On the sleeve, the year "2009" has been broken into "20" and "09". "20" refers to the twenty years of The Shirt Project and "09" refers to The Shirt 2009: the latest incarnation of a timeless game day tradition. The back design references a famous third-quarter goal-line stand against Penn State in the Snow Bowl of 1992.
