I wrote this to a friend that I grew up with in Utah and haven't seen in years...thought it summed up my life pretty well so here ya go...
My Boring Life
By Jessica George
I realize that I haven't kept in contact with you like I should....but would like to try to rectify that....so here's a run down of my boring life.
After I graduated from HS I moved to Washington DC for almost a year; I totally fell in love with the area I was in and the people and place I worked with but the cost of living was to high so I moved back home.
I've been at Best Buy 3 years as of August 3rd. I first worked customer service for about 1.5 years but moved to Geek Squad. I'm full-time so I have benefits and all coverage and all that good stuff. I love it most of the time. No I don't actually drive a bug or even fix the computers; I do all the admin stuff such as inventory, reports and problem resolution. It's almost like customer service with a twist, a nasty one at times. Such as the service center we send all our stuff to have the hardware replaced is staffed by untrained monkeys. That's right we don't even get the trained monkeys!
My social life is even less exciting then work is...I'm single, not dating anyone (although there is this fantastic LDS guy at work -meet him there not at church, strange I know- but I'm pretty sure he sees me as the brillant but annoying co-worker, and considered an old maid by some of my family. I'm not in school; can't afford it but am trying to work on that with a tution rembursment program through work.
Amber and Corey have been married for 5 years and have 3! kids. Thea Lynn Bowles 4, Donovan Michael Bowles 2 next month, and Logan Boyd Bowles about 5 months. They are the cutest kids ever and we all live within a 12 minute drive of my parents. Thea is just like her mom in every attitude possible; I guess my Mom wishing a child that was like her paid off.
Thomas is a firefighter (I like being able to tell people that). He's now certified/passed the program he was in and works 3 jobs plus goes to school full time. He makes me look like a major slacker. He lives at a firestation and works there a couple 24hr shifts a month to "pay rent" and such. It's a really sweet deal, he also works every 3rd day at McClain station on a 24hr shift. So that is crazy weird. Finally he works at the local hosiptal as a "Transporter", not as cool as the movie but they pay bank apparently. I'll admit it, he's kinda my hero.
Jared is 17! and a senior in high school. I choose not to acknowledge that fact most of the time due to the fact that it makes me feel old and he doesn't act his age. But it's not entirely his fault; he does have some learning disablities.
Let's see....
Oh, my parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on the 10th, that seems way long to me but hey I can't even get a date.My mom's parents kinda live up here with their horrible dog-I'm a cat person-they only kinda live here cause they technically live in the out skirts of podunckville (Amargosa Valley, NV). It's like an hour north of Death Valley. My papa got a job up here as a construction site safety overseer guy. So they and the dog (Rufus: although papa likes to call him Ruffy) live on the site where all the constuction equipment is kept in a 5th wheel trailor.
Well I'm pretty sure your tired of hearing from me by now so just a few more things....I adore penguins, have found I have a talent for injuring myself is strange and seemingly impossible ways, and had 2 pet frogs and a snail named Harold, Gerald, and Lenorad but sadly Harold has passed away.
