The Journey, Part 7
Air mattresses rock! I usually don't kick up a fuss about sleeping on them, but this time it signifies the beginning of the next phase of our natural lives. Sleeping on air means that I'm an unofficial Lincoln resident and I'm now temporarily settled at Chris and Megan's house.
My first day on the job with Alltel begins tomorrow at 9 am. I've actually been educating myself on the company's products and plans so I can appear somewhat knowledgeable during my introductory period. Tomorrow's activities include signing my life away, followed by, trailing some seasoned professional salesperson around the store to learn the tricks of the trade.
Adding insult to injury, I'm actually working for the next several days on a probationary period. Apparently, my background-check information is 95% complete. The company is currently waiting for the other 5% to come from Montana. I hope they don't discover my ring of Meth labs, otherwise I'm out of a respectable job! In my book, a 95% is an 'A' average, so I don't understand how there could be a problem.
Can you imagine!? "Ok Walt, welcome to the Alltel team! Your past is 95% acceptable, but the other 5% could reveal that you are a cold-hearted killer primed for your next attack. As long as you understand the "at-will employment" clause, we'll continue with the process okie-dokie?"Well, I pumped up my bed and I'm ready to test its comfort! I really am excited about tomorrow, it's going to be a blast!

Walt, as usual I am sooo proud of you. May the Lord be your guide tomorrow as you take another step "onward" at new job. As far as your background check, I pray the other "5%" doesn't cost you your job (hehehe). Let's see, does Delta fly to "Lincoln"? Maci, grandma misses you!!!!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and support through this transition. In hindsight, we did experience a high level of peace along the way.
My first day, by the way, was a lot of fun! In spite of all the new information I had to learn, I have not felt lost yet...
Wife... I miss you and daughter a lot! I still can't believe how long Maci talked to me on the phone :)
Ames... I'm a Wireless Sales Rep, PAY ATTENTION ;)
Sarah W...thanks, it's tough but spending time with my brother-in-law and his wife is fun too
Amanda...even though you're excited about being deaf?!... I am believing for the complete restoration of your hearing! Keep having fun...
Mom...I love you very much and a majority of the good things we've experienced in life so far is due to your prayers and love and support. I love you and if Delta doesn't fly to Lincoln, then Omaha is not that far away!
