RMS Portal

Well, RMS work not going so hot. They wanted it to be complete by the time school started this year, but that's not going to happen. They're going to buy the calendar piece that is finished, and maybe the messaging piece that is finished as well. I'm going to keep working on it, I still think it can be sold once it's finished, and maybe they'll buy it in pieces if I can get them done fast enough. Don't know if I can do that though, because the house is starting to take off. I've been working on getting everything worked out for getting that going. We sited where we want the house on the land, and now we just have to look over the contract and sign it and they can start working on it

Been a while

Whew been a while. I've been a little busy since my last blog. I have moved on from nTelos, got the feeling they were jerking me around, were just going to keep me on until the project was done, then let me go. They made an initial offer in May or so, coming in way under what I told them it would take to bring me on permanent before they even brought me on contract. I gave them my counter offer 2 weeks later, after doing some research on what would be fair. I didn't hear anything back. I contacted my contract agency, and they set up a meeting with me and my nTelos supervisor and one of their reps. the supervisor blew off the lunch, thats when I decided not to renew the contract when it was up on June 30th. I didn't tell them until June 29th, since they were so timely in renewing my contract on the day it was up on the prior two times the renewal dates cam e up. Ahh well, bridges burned. I have moved on to a contract at Wachovia for about 20% more than I was getting at nTelos, so I'm not too worried about it.

We've finally made substantial progress on getting the house built. We have the land in our name, we have plans, and once the land is completely marked we can site the house and break ground! One of my cousins works for a construction company and has offered to clear the land for the cost of renting the equipment, so that will save us some initial cost up front. The builder said it should be done in 5-6 months, so hopefully we'll be moving in early next year.

I've signed the three older girls up for fall soccer, I hope they enjoy it. I'm going to try to find a kung-fu school nearby as well.
