Your Job.

Oh rats. I promised I wasn't going to write about my job anymore. But...It's part of the 30 day challenge, so I have to - right? I'll make it short & sweet.

My job is good. I like it a lot. I am a Customer Service Rep at a bank, but really - I am a bank teller. I don't know why they don't just call me a "teller". They want to seem all important or something. Regardless, I really enjoy it.

My hours are a little longer than I thought they would be, but hopefully that won't last forever. There are only 3 tellers right now & soon there will only be 2. Once we get a little better staffed the hours should even out.

We are really busy some days & really slow others, so it makes everyday feel a little different & exciting. I know  I haven't worked there for very long, but I don't feel bored at all with my routine.

The pay is good. The benefits are good. I enjoy the people I work with. All in all, it's a great job & I love having it. I feel so blessed!

Thankful Thursday

Wow, I suck at blogging lately! Meh - oh well. Now it is time to shout out & be thankful!

I am thankful for...life. I love it & I am happy.
I am thankful for...my friends, I've really needed them lately & they've totally come through for me.
I am thankful for...making new friends. Reese & I had dinner with some people from Church on Tuesday & it was so much fun!
I am thankful for...my job. I love getting up & going to work everyday. I feel so productive & fantastic.
I am thankful for...all the new clothes I got recently & some of the old ones I have been fitting into.
I am thankful for...my coworkers! I really like them all & I'm having so much fun with them.
I am thankful for...Reese. He knows me so well & does just what I need on a bad day.

He didn't just buy me one Monster.
He got me a whole case!

I am thankful for...the end of a bad/long/stressful day & that I can unwind and sit on my couch.
I am thankful for...the blogosphere & being able to vent anytime I want [even though it hasn't been that often lately.]
I am thankful for...all the people who read my blog & care about what I have to say - I will try to be interesting for you all!


I hope you have had a good week & have a lot to be thankful for! Tomorrow is Friday & then it's the weekend! Woohoo =)

Undeniably Boring.

Yeah, so my post title refers to me & my job right now. Me, because I am not used to getting up & out the door so early & working all day. I am basically beat by the time I get home. Therefore, my blogging time has lacked - majorly. I'm not just talking about me posting, but about me not being able to visit & comment. I'm sorry! I'm hoping that once I get used to my routine I won't be dead tired at 5:20 pm [pray for me!]. And my job right now, because I am literally sitting alone in a cubicle doing training modules online from 8-5! Ok maybe that's exaggerating a little - I do get to take a lunch & today at 4 I got to see how they we count up the vault. [That was pretty awesome.] But sitting in front of a computer mindlessly reading is turning my brain to mush!! Actually if I think about it, it's not that different than what I did before I got this job... Pretty soon I will be done training on the modules & the boring will end!

I've already managed to get overtime, so I don't have to go in until 8:15 tomorrow. Woohoo. 15 extra minutes of sleep!! Also, I'm very nervous that I am going to become even more boring & just blog about my job! I do not want to be that blogger. How lame is that?! I promise that once my first week is over I will stop blogging about boring work [unless there is something totally awesome that happens that you must hear about]!

So, anyway the main reason for this post is to let you all know that I'm sorry I suck & that I'm boring. I will be better starting this weekend & forever in the future!

I hope you are all having a great week & enjoy tomorrow - for it is hump day!

Tell Me, Tell Me.

Well, I suppose I should tell everyone [mostly my mom] about my first day of work on Friday.

First of all, I should tell those of you who don’t know that I am working at a bank. I got hired on as a Customer Service Representative & Teller.

It went really well. Everyone there was very nice & friendly. First days are usually pretty boring because it’s a lot of tours, explanations, & training. My first day did not disappoint; it definitely fit into the “typical first day” category.

I spent the morning shadowing a fellow employee & got to see how the bank runs. Then a quick lunch, off to the Police Department for a finger printing session, & back for some afternoon training. I spent the whole afternoon doing training modules online. Boring. Wow. Have any of you ever had to endure anything like that? No human interaction, just reading slides on the computer. It is not fun.

My position requires me to be dressed up everyday & I don’t have enough dress clothes to get me through more than a week or so.

First Day Outfit.
This pic is for you, Mom.

So….that means I got to to go shopping! Darn =) Saturday morning Reese & I headed 2 hours east to get our shopping on. I had great success. 3 pair of shoes, 3 pair of dress pants, 4 dress shirts, & 2 sweaters. We got just about everything on sale & got a lot of bang for our buck. [I also got some stuff at Bed Bath & Beyond and Bath & Body Works - I heart those stores!]

So my job update so far - it looks like it’s going to be great & I’m going to really love it. The boss is really nice & friendly & I think I’ll really get along with my employees. I am so grateful that I have this job & that it’s enjoyable!!

I hope you all had a great weekend & that this coming week is fabulous!!

Friday Confessional

I confess…
I’m starting my new job today & I’m pretty nervous.
I actually feel like I could puke I’m so nervous.

I confess…
Everyone keeps telling me not to be nervous, but I still am.
Even though I’m nervous, I kinda know I’m gonna rock =]

I confess…
Last night I had cucumbers & a Monster for dinner.
It was half healthy, half not healthy, & fully delicious.

I confess…
I’m really excited to go shopping tomorrow for new clothes.
We’re also going to a movie & dinner - that’ll be awesome.

I confess…
I’m REALLY going to miss all my “Reese time” now that I’ll be working.
We’ll just have to start staying up later, so we can have more hours together.

I confess…
I’m sad to lose computer time.
I know I spend way too much time on the computer, but I will still miss it.

I confess…
I worked out everyday this week & I feel great!
I ran a mile without stopping & I “whooped” out loud I was so proud of myself.

I confess…
I want another blue Monster - I can’t stop thinking about their deliciousness.
They might be better than the green ones.

I confess…
This has been kind of a long post, but I also feel like I talked about nothing.
I better get my booty out the door to my first day of work! I guess I’m a real grown up now. Wish me luck!!!

Also, head on over to OurDandelionWishes & link up for Friday Confessional!



Have a great weekend everyone!! I shall miss you all while I am at work.

Thankful Thursday

Wow, I better get started! It is Thursday again & I have so much to be thankful for.

I'm Thankful For...
-Getting a job! Everyone knew that'd be my first one today, right?!
-God answering prayers & providing me with the perfect fit.
-My husband; he is the best & so supportive.
-Kathy. She is always there for me when I call her in a pinch!
-My dad, for marrying Kathy ;) [& for his great advice!!]
-My mom & siblings. I don't know what I'd do without their love & support.
-The Peterson side of the family. We did family pictures this weekend & they turned out fantastic!!

[Don't worry fam, I'll be getting the discs to you
soon-I just wanted to show one preview]

-Camie & how great she is to me. She is such a wonderful friend & support system; I don't know what I'd do without her.
-Janette & her awesome link up she does every Thursday -- & this week she featured me! You should go over & check out her page. She is wonderful.

-All of my family & friends [bloggy & irl] who always support me & wish me luck in all my endeavors. Thank you so much!

They Like Me.

So...that job I had two interviews for wants me. I mean, not just in a way that they want to be friends - but they want me!

I got a call today & they offered me the job. It's only been 2 business days since I signed the release for my background check [which seems too fast - I am so boring], & they offered me the job.

It's such an answer to prayers - I have been looking, seeking, & wanting a job for what seems like years now! [If you haven't read the story from the first adventure, you should!] It's been a long & ridiculous battle, but we finally found something that will fit just right.

Everything went much faster than anticipated, worked out really smoothly, & just feels right. I know that God had a hand in this & has helped me to find the right fit for me.

Friday morning at 8:30 I will go to work! I will officially be working & contributing to the community & our household. I feel fantastic! I hope in a week I can report that everything is as good as expected & I love my job. [I'm sure I will!]
