Chugging away (at the new job!)

It's going pretty well, actually! I know I am kind of suprised, but usually I panick when I don't know something, and of course, I did panick. But I actually feel pretty good about what I do. Answer questions the Consultants (sellers of Creative Memories scrapbook stuff) like incentives, products, host questions, inactivity, take some orders, and send some replacement orders, etc.

The people we do business with ARE SO NICE, what a change from the distributors I dealt with at PCI!! HA!

There were a couple of consultants that knew I was new right away, which I hate, and they wanted to talk to someone else because I didn't know what they were talking about, but it's kind of like, "I need to learn this", but I guess I understand!

the people are really nice, and my boss Jessica is super nice and funny too! They are pretty laid back too, especially when it's not busy, which they said has kind of been lately because of the holidays, which is fine by me, I guess I came at a good time.

That's my job! My original date to start was supposed to be yesterday, so I am glad that I am already moving along!!!

I'm kind of excited about this weekend, not sure what is going on, but I need some jeans (we get to wear jeans at work, and guess who doesn't have a lot, and had to dress up today, GRRR!), so I will probably go to Fashion Bug with Sara, at least I hope so!

Friday:
It will be weird to work so late on Fridays, I always worked until 6:00 on Fridays at PCI, but after that maybe get together with Sara. Dad is going to be gone for the weekend, so maybe mom and I will do some catching up, since I am working late!

Saturday:
If don't get together with Sara on Friday, probably Saturday! No MORE WORKING SATURDAY'S, hooray!

Sunday:
Church/sunday school
Hang with Suzie?
Bum around
Vespers

PLEASE COMMENT, so I know others are reading this, and that it doesn't feel like just a journal! THANKS! :)

Beautiful day, hooray!!

I was so nervous before work, I even took some pepto bismo, because I was feeling so sick, but the GOOD NEWS, it went SO well! YAH!

The people I work with are so nice! They help me out, and just are so great! YAH! My boss wanted to talk to me, and I thought I did something wrong, but she just wanted to say that I'm doing a good job, and that I sound really professional! That was so exciting! I think I am going to like working at CM, I just need to get more things figured out!

I talked to Salvy this morning, was trying to convince him to get a job with me! We shall see!

When I got home I found out that Hanley wrecked my room! GRRR! He is so charming, its ridiculous! I miss him and brother, they are SO funny!

Well, keep praying! I know I will have bad days, and good ones, so keep at it! I'll try to keep the worrying to a minimum!! HA HA! :)

The great weekend continues, and panicking about my 1st official day!

Wow! What a great day today! Suzie and I went to the early service this morning! I was going to go to Westwood with Jenny, but then Suzie and I ended up hanging out! She's going through some rough times, so....

Sunday School was okay, but there is one kid who is a little brat, but my mom put him in his place, by yelling at him! He also broke his brothers arm the other day, and he's only 7! When is Sunday School over?!??! The other kids are SUPER cute though!

After church Suzie and I hung out, and played a little football! She was around all weekend, but I didn't get to see her a lot since she was with Kev, so it was kind of our time to catch up!

After she left, I watched some skating! I found out later that Bria was waiting for me to come back to the church, so we could eat lunch at the fellowship dinner, whoops! kev told me when he got home last night! Talk about feeling badly! :(

Then later on I just sat around, ate some supper, watched some TV with my parents, and ended up going to Vespers. I met Suzie, Jenny, and suzie's new roomate there! I ended up staying pretty late, which was nice to catch up with Jenny, since I haven't seen her for a couple weeks!

When I got home I was about to go to bed, when I found out that Hanley was coming over with Kev! That was SO much fun! Haven't seen him since he left for school over the summer. He's his same, crazy self! I kept teasing him for finally getting facebook, because he said he never would! HA!

When Hanley spends the night, he sleeps with Kev in his bed, and it's SO cute! I took a picture too, even though Hanley was against it!!

Well, now it is Monday morning, and I am feeling very nervous and nausecous about my first "official" day on the floor! AHHH! I need all the prayers that I can get! The people are really nice, but I just want to know what I am doing, even though it's only been 3 weeks!! I will fill you guys in when I get home on how it went!!

Love ya all! :)

The great weekend, continued!

Wow, what can I say about today, "It was LAZY!" Which I enjoyed very much!

I got plenty of sleep, which was wonderful!! When I woke up Kev, Suzie, and my mom were watching Man From Snowy River, and that started the movie day! I caught the end, which is okay with me, I don't think it's the greatest movie out there!

After that dad convinced us to go for a drive to the gravel pit, which was okay, but of course the guys LOVED it! Us girls were just like, "Can we go yet?"

Ha ha!

After that we watched some football! I hung out with Suzie, and dad ordered pizza, while we were waiting I helped suzie get ready for her date with Kev, and she looked SO cute, even though she ALWAYS does! She had a meeting to go to, so when she left we watched Remember the Titans, and then her and Kev left, and dad made me watch Psycho, which was an odd movie!

After that I just bummed around with my parents, and I also took a bubble bath with a book, and now I am getting ready for bed! I am kind of getting nervous about going back to work on Monday, so if you could pray for me, I would really appreciate it! Tomorrow will probably be a continuation of what went on today! Church, not sure which one though, might be Kimball, might be Westwood in St.Cloud, I'll let ya know! Watch some skating, study my training manual, watch the Cowboys with the family, and go to Vespers, which I haven't been in a couple of weeks, so that will be good to go to, especially because I get my new night schedule, so it will be nice to sleep in again! YAH!

Well, have a good night everyone! Love ya! :)

What a great day!

Thanks to all who've been praying for me these past couple of weeks as I've began to transition from an old job to a new one! Today was actually a very good day! We started out scrapbooking, which was a lot of fun! We also had a pizza party. Kind of a farewell to training and all that!

After lunch we got on the phones, and I was kind of nervous, but I know it's just going to take time to get into the swing of things. The people though are super nice, and are always ready to answer questions, which is helpful to me, since I haven't been the new person in 3 1/2 years! AHH!!

Also, little Zac called me when he was on break, so we chatted for 10 minutes during our breaks, that was cool!

I just came home tonight, and I am just relaxing, and it feels really good. I am so tired, so I think I might head to bed soon! Tomorrow I think suzie and I are going to go shopping, and more relaxing! Kev's home, so that's been fun, even though I haven't seen him since he got home.

Well, here's hopping I don't forget everything over the weekend! I'll keep you updated on the things going on around me! Bye! :)

I keep telling myself to breathe through it!!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!


(I think I can, I think I can!)

I was on the phones ALL DAY TODAY! Needless to say it was quite stressful! I had a trainer with me all day, but it is hard to hear someone in one ear, and someone else in another ear!!! Now I know if I ever train again, when I figure this stuff out, I need to work on that!!

I was on the phone by myself for the last half hour, and it went okay! I kind of hung up on somebody, accidentially. The phones are on the computer, and it's going to take some getting used too! But I did take an order, and that went well, so yah!!! (I Hope!)

Well, my weekend seems to have gotten a bit busier!! I think Suzie is coming over tomorrow night, and Saturday night! And my friend Jenny wants me to go to church with her, and my mom wants me to go to the early service of our church, so I feel like double has been added to my weekend, and I just want to study my training manual, and relax, so we shall see what happens!

Tomorrow is a relaxing day though, we are scrapbooking until 2:30, having a pizza party, and then going on the phones from 3:00-6:30, so I will probably be by myself, so please keep praying for me! It is greatly appreciated!!! :)

What a day!

It started out good! Met up with my co-workers and we got a tour of the factory, so that was pretty interesting, and LOUD, and BIG too!!

After that we went back to the home office, which is what they call it, and then we got trained on a few more things, took a lunch, and were told we were going to get on the phones!!! AHHH!!

It went good though. I had a nice girl sitting with me, and she was very helpful and nice!! Some others didn't get the nicest girls, so I was glad for me!!! Tomorrow we are going to be on the phones with a buddy, and then by ourselves, so I could defintely use the prayers!!

After work I went to Sara's and she gave me cheap tickets, so we went to see some stupid Martian Child movie, if you go, DON't!! Some parts were funny, but for the most part it was lame!! I'm just saying!

Now I am home, and not feeling so well (Maybe because of tomorrow?!?!) not really sure, but hopefully things continue to go well!! The Lord has blessed me so much, so I hope that I continue to catch up!! It's A LOT of info, it literally took 1 1/2 weeks to get trained on the basics, yes I said THE BASICS, once we feel comfortable we get trained on other components, such as the digital world and custom framing worlds! The framing seems cool, but is very complex, so we shall see!!

but I better get some sleep! I am so TIRED! G'night! :)
