So I guess you could say...

Well I believe we have achieved another goal. Ale got her 'Welcome to Employment at MSA' letter yesterday. She starts working at where I work on November 5th. I think when she still was living in Argentina trying to get all the paperwork to move up here I dreamed about how cool that would be. We could get up together and drive in together saving on gas. Now it's a reality and it's kind of weird. I guess maybe I never thought that would actually be a reality. She was getting way better job opportunities from other places. If she can make more money I definitely want her to go for it. I do think it's good she starts here. If she ends up not getting another offer for 6 months at least she's working here making money for 6 months rather than nothing. She will also be learning to drive (because she sucks at it now). That way she will be able to get to a job by herself. Since she works with me we'll drive together and that won't need to be a concern for a while.
It took some doing to make this happen. When she became eligible to work I referred her here to a bunch of jobs here and they said 'not a good fit'. GTFO She's smarter than me. She could be doing any one of those jobs. I had to give her resume to my boss Terry and have her shop Ale around before she got a hit. It's weird because it turns out it was Randy Rubash that hired her. That's the guy that hired me in the first place. He got me out of that crap job I had at WMTR and into the Miller group. That wasn't too much better but at least it was more work involving what I got my degree in and it was my foot in the door. I sort of don't like that she had to settle for Data Analyst but at least it's something. She's going to be working now and making money and our life should improve. I won't have to worry as much about supporting us all and she can start socking it away to pay for Pax and Bunneh Manor. So I guess you could say we're living the dream. It definitely sounds better and romantic than it feels in real life but I know I should be thankful and I am. I know when I look back later in life this will be an important moment.
