So Friday morning I had an interview at a staffing agency. It went okay I think, although I think she thought I wanted too much for salary. I asked about how I did on the assessment tests I had to take prior to the interview - I scored an 87 on Word and Excel, a 91 on Office Skills, a 60 WPM on typing, 7200kph on the ten-key, and can't remember on the alpha-numeric. All the numbers were well above what they look for.
So, I guess only time will tell. She did have me fill out an I-9 and W-4 form, so maybe that is a good sign that she thinks there will be something available for me at some point.

On Sunday I start the collecting signatures job. Not really excited about it, other than earning some money and having something to do.

I'm also planning on finding a pond with some ducks to feed on Sunday - as a way of honoring my dad. My 3rd Father's Day without him. This was my brother's idea (I'd suggested all of us going to Schlotsky's (sp?) but was voted down. Like my brother's idea better.)

I talked with a former co-worker tonight for a long time. She initially had called to try to get me interested in an MLM business. As soon as she told me the name, I let her know I had absolutely no interest - that I had gone to one of their presentations when I lived in the DFW area. After a few minutes of reassuring her that I meant it, we spent a lot of time just chit chatting. It was good to talk with her, and I hope she has success with her MLM venture.

I have received two cash back rewards recently. One for my BofA Cash Rewards card - $100, and one for my Cap One QuickSilver card - $100. I used the CapOne card to pay for my rental truck and tow dolly and rent my PO box - $649 total. I'll be cancelling the CapOne card as soon as I have it paid off - I wish I could keep it because of the cute cat logo, but it doesn't offer enough rewards to warrant keeping it.
Another Interview Down + Cashback Rewards

It's funny because I have the same credit cards as you and I am also planning on closing the Capital One credit card after it is paid off. I like the Bank of America credit card rewards and it's so easy to pay it off since my checking and savings account is with Bank of America so I can just transfer the funds! Cash rewards are the absolute best thing!

The BofA card is okay - the main reason I'm keeping it is for the 2% back on groceries plus the extra 10% when depositing rewards into your BofA checking. Once my checking is no longer free, I will be closing it as well as the card. (lets' just say I've heard rumors to that effect) I have another card that pays me 5% for gas, so I don't need the BofA card for that, and another card that I can get 2% back on for groceries once I close the BofA card. (I have lots of cards ...)
