Well, if you all didn't know, I'm currently working two jobs one being a secretary for New York Life Insurance for this guy in my ward. It's a great job and i'm learning a ton. It was very discouraging the first few days because here i would be working my tail off, typing and printing as fast as my little fingers will go... print out so many mistakes on the nice company stationary (I felt so guilty throwing it away, but how far does an incorrectly addressed letter go?), then turning in all my hours of work to be signed sealed and ready to go..... only to have half of it shoved back into my reluctant arms to be re-done. ArrrrgH! Well, slowly but surly i've gotten better and faster, but at the peak of my learning...... the main computer linking ours to them crashed.... losing all the past sectretary's work (which i went off of) and more. Every letter, every report, every precious documentation and records are now currently lost.... so with that i've been out of work for a week as they frantically try to stablize our computer. That's a lot of money i wasn't able to earn. But on the bright side... maybe all hope isn't lost. It might actually be a good thing. cuz now instead of me trying to discover all hidden reports, etc. I'm the one who is actually going to be typing in all the stuff i wasn't able to find. Who knows. I'm still out of work and won't be able to return until next thursday (my boss is going to be out of town next week as well) so i really don't know if it's going to be serious burden or a hidden blessing. :) Either way, wish me luck as i tackle the massive amount of typing enevitably waiting there for me. :) It's too bad that it occured, but what can ya do?

Cool job...bummer crash. You're typing will be super fast by the end of the summer!
Are you sure it was an accidental crash? Are you sure you didn't give it a good thump'n for not correcting your mistakes? :) just kidding.
Isn't it fun to learn a new job. Best of luck. You didn't sound to disappointed by having a week and a half off to start your job.
Ooops, the last comment by "Erin" was really by me, your coolest uncle (only because I'm married to Erin), in case you couldn't tell.
I forgot that we were signed on to your blog under her name.
