Three weeks.

Well it's been three weeks of training at the new job and I'm so glad it's over! So far I think I am going to really love this job! The people I have met are awesome! I have made fast friends with quite a few of them... I can't wait to be out on the floor on my own.
We are temporarily on the first floor until our new area on the third floor is done being built.

Let's see... what else is there...

I bought my first snowboard today! I'm so excited! My friend Brad has been asking me to go with him and I've really wanted to go... I just hate being the only girl going. Well I found out that my lovely friend Jaime also boards! YAY for me! now I have a girl to go with! So watch out Jaime and Brad... I have a feeling that once it gets here it's gonna take a lot to keep me off the mountain! :)

I've been trying to switch my sleep schedule to a later one. I will be working 3-11 pm after training and shadowing. I'm slowly getting there... I've been staying up as late as I can on the weekends but I still get tired very early :( I made it to 1:30 am for the past 2 weekends! Thank you Jaime for keeping me entertained and awake!

I keep mentioning Jaime... I need to let anyone who reads this know that if you're not friends with her... you should be! She's freaking awesome! I have the best time when I'm out with her and her husband Mikey. They have the greatest friends that have become my friends too. Caca (Erica) and Bigs (Anthony). How is it that I can hang out with 2 married couples and not feel like the fifth wheel? Because these people are amazing! I love being with them!

and now ACBC. My friend Kandyce made a blog for us girls. It's the cutest thing I've seen and I can't wait to be kept up to date with my girls' lives. Sorry folks... you won't be able to read it. It's set to private just for us ;)

Well I'm off to bed with my crazy puppy!

1/5/09

So I start a new job tomorrow. Am I nervous? Yes! I'm making myself sick thinking about it. :(

I did pretty much the same job for another bank for almost 3 years. I know what I'm getting in to. I know the systems, I know the work that is needed. But I can't help but worry. New people. New atmosphere. This is the perfect time to reinvent myself around people I don't know. I can present what ever image I want because no one (unless someone I know works there that I'm not aware of) will know me.

Lane and I went shopping yesterday to find some new clothes for me. I haven't had to do the whole business attire for almost a year and since I've been losing weight nothing I own really fits anymore. I know that should be a good thing, things not fitting, but I have some cute pants that if I don't wear a belt, will literally fall off now! I hadn't realized it till the other night I was getting ready for bed... I took some jeans off only to realize that I hadn't undone the zipper. There wasn't a struggle or anything... weird, but good. Anyhow back to the shopping. I don't regularly shop at the mall... things are usually way to pricey for me. Lane and I had discovered that JCPenney's has some pretty cute stuff for dang cheap! I ended up getting 2 shirts, 2 pairs of pants, 4 sweater and a pair of cute brown heels (not from JCPenney's but still on sale) and I only spent $140. I found this to be amazing!

I feel a little bit more prepared for this job. I want to make a great impression! Management... here I come :)
