Exciting Updates

I almost forgot to mention that I got the job I was talking about in the last post. Yeah it has been a super quick process but they only offer the training I was going to need a couple of time within the next month so I put my "notice" in at Sam's 2 days before I was done...one of them being Thanksgiving and the other black friday. Anyway, I accepted the position and there are a lot of perks to it...once you ignore the fact that I am going to be supervising in the only division that does sales
1/ They are sending me to Akron for a 3 and a half day training that deals specifically with my postion...never had that much preparation
2/ They are providing me with my own hotel room, rental car, and a debit card to pay for food while I'm there
3/ Once I get back I'll pretty much start getting benefits immediately
4/ Past all the training, which is approx. two weeks, my normal schedule is 4 days on 3 days off
5/ NO MORE RETAIL

So I was saying that I'm in the one department that deals with sales in this company. Sucky...I know because no matter what I tried everyone who is looking for a person in human resources wants someone who has experience in managment. So this will definately get me experience in that and I have definate potential for growth. The guy who is going to be my boss has only been with the company for 4 - 5 years and he started off in what my position will be just for an example.

I can't remember what I mentioned in my other post but I really like this company because within all of its other divisions it does a lot of work with conservative political campaigns, non-profits, volunteer recruitment, and religious organizations (specifically christian). I felt like this company aligned much more closely with things I supported and for that simple reason I could pass it up to stay in my dreadful position at Sam's which continued to get worse day after day.

On another note ... wedding plans. Yes PC and I are still getting married and yes, March 10 is still what I call our goal date. I haven't done hardly any planning though because we've been back and forth about size and style. Mainly, it seems we keep falling back on having a very private intimate wedding and a big celebration later. However, I have no idea how we could make that work. Plus right now, with his financial issues not being settled yet, we don't talk about it much because he wants to make sure that it is all settled before anything moves forward so that I don't end up being effected as well. (And in case you were wondering, none of this financial stuff was going on before we got engaged, so it wasn't a "you should have waited longer to get engaged" sort of deal...in fact we thought everything was over...but we had another thing coming). Right now I'm also going through this weird thing with money. I get supper stressed when I spending anything more than your averaged total sale at a walmart store on myself or if I know that someone spent any certain amount of money on me. Yeah, I get super upset and start flipping out and end up returning it eventually. However, when it comes to getting stuff for other people, I'll spend money at the drop of a hat if I know its something they really want or need. So right now, I definately wouldn't be able to spend that amount of money on a wedding. Hopefully things will get better on that end eventually ...and sooner rather than later.

Thats all for now...
I"m gonna go watch some TV
