I'm going to MESA!

2006-06-21T18:35:00.000-06:00

I accepted the Wells Fargo job in Mesa!

Wells Fargo in Mesa!

2006-06-19T15:11:00.000-06:00

I got a job offer! With Wells Fargo Financial in Mesa, AZ! How cool and awesome is that?! After month and a half of searching, finally! I have two more interviews, one with Prosper Learning in Provo tomorrow and another with WF in Idaho Falls on Wed. morning. I have a lot of things to deliberate about in this situation as far as location and type of dating options available in those locations. I told him I will call on Wed. to tell him my reply. Meanwhile he had me fill out a background information sheet, which will take at least 72 business hours (9 days or two weeks). Hopefully, as I find out more about the positions in the other companies I will get a better idea.

PHX

2006-06-14T17:48:00.000-06:00

I am in phoenix right now, staying with Nick. I had a meeting with Mike at Wells Fargo Commercial/ Business in downtown PHX as soon as I got off the plane at Noon. I spent a couple hours with him and his team and also met with the professional services group of WF. I will need to find out more info on the Relationship Managers and their duties if I go the Prof. Route.

Tomorrow I will meet with WF Financial in Mesa, wish me luck!

New Interviews

2006-06-07T18:34:00.000-06:00

I had two interviews this week. Wadell and Reed FS in IF and today with Wells Fargo Fin. in Provo. Next week I am flying to Mesa for another interview as well for WF Fin. and Business Banking.

This is one of the first times in my life where I do not have a specific direction as to where to go. It feels kinda different.

Well see what happens.

Rexburg/Idaho Falls?

2006-06-05T09:00:00.000-06:00

I am deliberating whether or not to stay in the Rexberg/If area to find a job and still have good dating opportunities. What do ya'll think?

Been a While

2006-06-04T15:01:00.000-06:00

Well, it has been a while since the last entry. I didn't get the WF job. So the hunt continues! I am decideing whether or not I should stay in the Idaho area, Utah, or Arizona. What do you think?

It is a nice and quiet afternoon. I just had some digornio's pizza and it was fantastic!

Well, have a great afternoon!

Dashboard

2006-05-23T23:27:00.000-06:00

This blog is done from my Dashboard application. Cool,huh? Did you know that the King George III over england wrote in his journal. Do you know what he wrote in on July 4, 1776? He wrote "nothing important happened today." Think about that.

I got in town for a job interview just in time to see her the day after she was born. Perfect timing!

Job Search

2006-05-15T12:50:00.000-06:00

Well the job search is fun! I have had three interviews in the IF/TF area for Wells Fargo, one with Omniture (Web Analytics Co.) in Provo, the Martketing Group in DC, and that was all last week!

Today I have interviews with two companies. EZ Net tools (a web developer co.) in Rexburg and World Finiancial Group in IF. I also got an email from a guy at Marriott in NY I met last year to call him this Wed.

Wooh! Job hunting is busy. Which one do you think I should take?

Happy now Steph?

College Graduate!

2006-05-01T20:23:00.000-06:00

I am now a College Graduate! This last weekend was awesome! The fam came out for convocation on Friday night, where the college of Business and communications walked. Saturday was commencement, where we had all the graduates march in to the hart gym (77% of the class walked, the highest ever!). We were installed as graduates by our President and listened to a keynote speaker. It was a really exciting and momentous occasion. Now all I have to do is find a job!

Tricky Tricky

2006-03-15T20:51:00.000-07:00

So while I was teaching today in my 4th grade classroom, I saw this riddle in a kid's math book:

"A $1 bill weighs about 1 gram. How many grams does a $5 bill weigh?"

I almost said, "5 grams", but luckily, I caught myself. Tricky, eh?

BYU-Idaho Spirit Week

2006-03-15T19:44:00.000-07:00

This week is the BYU-Idaho Spirit Week! We get to celebrate this school and being a part of it throug various activities. Tuesday there was a 2,000 (supposed to be) men's chior singing for devotional and later that evening was the Spirit Week relay rally where most of the campus wards, faculty, and alumni gather to race against eachother to begin the week. Later this week we will be having a service project to make literacy kits with the Mothers in town during Mother's weekend. To take similar words from Brigham Young, 'I feel like shouting halleluiah every time I think I ever went to BYU-Idaho.'

Emily Carlson Hates Us Club

2006-03-05T16:22:00.000-07:00

This posting is dedicated to the "Emily Carlson Hates Us Club", started by Kimm Bingham and Josh Porter. Sister Carlson, as it were, has not wirtten etiher one of us after we both have written her on her mission. It has been WEEKS since we last wrote her an NOTHING! But we still lover her. Kimm has since stopped crying after she found out I had not got a letter ethier! (Picture-Krystal, Emily, Josh, Heather, Andrew)

Too much!

2006-03-05T09:04:00.000-07:00

So this weekend I dared Josh to stuff a whole donut into his mouth and eat it. This is the before picture - he's happy and doing good.
Now we have the after picture...kind of gross, eh? I made a video, but I don't know how to post videos on blogs. Anyone have any suggestions? How did that taste, Josh?
Josh, I have just one phrase for you... "Why don't you get KORR 104?"

Congrats!

2006-03-02T17:42:00.000-07:00

Congrats to Kimm for suggesting my new blog name! Pace, I love you buddy, but I thought this was very clever. However you should be happy now it has a new name. Is it sufficient to you?

Pic on Profile

2006-03-02T15:54:00.000-07:00

Well, like Pace, I'm not exactly sure why I'm on Josh Porter's blog now either, besides the fact that I like to read blogs, and Josh is a cool guy. So, moving on, I'll give a candy bar to whoever can make up the best new name for Josh's blog. Unless of course, you don't live in Rexburg, and then I'm not paying for the postage. Sorry. I'll send you a nice picture that I painted (using Paint). It will make up for the candy bar. Who is judging this thing anyway?

Josh, to put your picture on your profile, you have to first post a picture on the blog that you want to use, then on your profile settings, type in the web address of the picture that you posted (you find out the web address of the picture by clicking on the picture only and then copying it from the address bar.) You can then erase the picture from your blog if you want to. I think that's how I did it. If that doesn't work, type in "picture on profile" in the help section of blogger and you'll get directions on how to do it.

New authors on Josh Porter's Blog

2006-03-02T09:47:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, this is Pace. I'm the newest author on Josh Porter's blog. Why he invited me to be an author I have no idea (besides the fact that we've been friends longer than anyone on the planet). BUT as seeing I'm the first one, or at least the first one to write, I take it as an honor and privilege to be an author. So the first thing I'm doing as an official author is calling for a contest. The winner of such will have fame and fortune. Josh Porter's blog needs an official title instead of "Josh Porter's blog".

So post your ideas, the winning idea will be the new title, if Josh agrees to rename his blog.
GOOD LUCK!
