Happy Valentine's Day

Such a dumb holiday... I could certainly do without it.

boredom

So this is what happens when I'm stuck at work bored out my freaking mind. I completely change my blog. I had one before this that was really neat looking but it had some weird things that I couldn't make go away... So I settled with Top Secret :)

Work is insanely boring... I can only play games online so much before I want to chuck the computer out the window, if I were anywhere near a window.

I've been working hard on my dieting and exercising. I'm down 40 lbs. INSANE! It hasn't been easy but it also hasn't been that hard... had I only known this would have been taken care of a long time ago. Thank goodness for the Wii Fit. It has helped so much... lame I know.

Lane and I went and bought some new jeans the other day and I already need to go get a smaller size... they are too big. :)

I wish my hair would grow... I know... quite bleaching it and maybe it would... Have you seen my hair natural? Not cute!

I'm on break now... I'm gonna run away from the monotony for a moment... maybe I'll find my way back.

yeah... it does...

I'm getting paid for this?

First official day on the job on the official schedule. WOW! This is boring. But I can't complain... I'm getting paid to sit here and play games! Really. That's what I do. My shift is from 2:45-11:15 pm and I've taken 5 calls. Could this get any better??? I've got my Ipod on, games going like there's no tomorrow, a cute boy texting me, and I'm getting paid really well.

I have the feeling this blog will get updated nearly every night :)

Life's twists and turns

Work has been going really well... I just wish training/shadowing was over. I want to be out on my own already!

My life is becoming so very complicated and yet it's so simple.

A couple of weekends ago a friend and I went to a couple of hockey games... I thought it was going to be so very awkward! My mom and her fiance(Phil) where there. Phil played in the first game. It was Guns vs. Hoses. Then after the game we went to dinner with them... awkward? oddly not at all. Phil and my friend got along famously while chit chatting about golf! My mom and I just sat there like really? All in all a good night.

Then last Friday Jaime and I got to go to another Jazz game... so much fun! I love spending time with this girl! A few nights before that we went to get ice cream with another good friend Julie. I love this girl too! I hope to see her around more often :) Didn't I hear something about a craft night???

At work I've made some pretty good friends along the way.. Jenn, Andrew (we worked together at GE before) Char, Rich and Ben... Great people to be around!

This weekend we are trying to figure something out so we can celebrate my birthday and Andrew's. So hard to get such a completely different group of people together. But I hope it all works out and we have fun! I'm sure we will. :)

I got all my snowboard stuff and I can't wait to go! Brad and I need to figure out a day when we can... I'm pretty sure I'm going to nearly kill myself.

Hopefully I will be getting my ribs done this weekend! We shall see! and if I do there will be pics up :)

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 :)
