The Good and Bad

We had a great weekend with Nic & Melissa. We gambled, drank, ate, laughed. It was all good. We ended up losing money, but if you think of the entertainment and the free drinks, I think we came out ahead. We saw a hysterical show at "Catch a Rising Star" comedy club. Nic and Ken were weeping from laughing so hard. Definitely a man's comedian, but you all know I have a little bit of a man's sense of humor. Let's just say it, Farting is Funny!

We had a great dinner with some of the board members from the Reno Council on Monday night. It was like a gathering of friends. We laughed and talked for about two and a half hours. I tried my hardest not to be a career killer, but a Ken advocate instead. Ken interviewed great on Tuesday. BUT, you knew that was coming didn't you. But, the job went to the Area Director Marty Baldwin. Ken just couldn't compete with his experience. The personnel guy from the region said Ken did great and made it a tough decision, but he couldn't overcome the experience. So, what next? There are openings all over the country (Michigan, North Carolina...) but nothing that Ken is qualified for in the West. He is hoping that now that the Area Director position is open (thanks to Marty) someone from Eugene, Spokane, Boise might want that job. It would be a promotion without the need for a move for any of these guys, so that is always attractive. We'll do some research on the open positions, talk with the Regional guys and see what is next.

So back to the OC. We'll need to plan some kind of consolation party at my favorite karaoke bar. Becka/Danielle, are you free Friday night?
