Sorry, I'm slacking...

Well it has been a busy week. I had my first training class on Saturday. It was supposed to a 4 hour class, we were out in less than 2. Not that I'm complaining, but a 216 mile round trip adventure for less than 2 hours of class seems a bit ridiculous to me. But whatever, at least I am now a quarter of the way through it. 1 class a month until January. I can do it. Every class gives you a project, this months was "problem solving using supervisory skills". We were given 6 days to fax off our finished project, mine was done yesterday. One less headache for now. My project centered on communication break down involving new hires. I think it well, since they didn't have me redo it.....yes, that is what they do if it isn't "up to par". I devised a new worksheet for new hire packets that made each level from hiring to scheduling accountable for communicating the status of a new hire. Hopefully it will reduce people getting lost in the paperwork trail. At least that is my hope. My plan, if approved by division management, could be used company wide. That's a good feeling. Not all projects get flagged for corporate use, but when they do, it goes in your file and definitely helps in the process of moving your way p through the company.

Okay, I think I'm done being boring. But probably not, I'm a boring person by nature. I can't help the babbling either, I'm very excited for this opportunity. It's the first chance I've ever had to really move forward in a company. Who knows, maybe from here I can take over the world.......

All is Getting Better

So I am feeling less like a train wreck....that's good. Still hurting a little deep down inside. Things are looking up though. Becoming Starbucks manager is no longer an issue. I was given an offer at work I couldn't refuse. I was offered P.I.C. position....so after 4 months of classes and training my paychecks are going to double. I won't complain. This means that we should be able to move out next year....save money for a procedure....and get back to where we used to be. Things are certainly starting to look up. We will just have to see what happens from here. I am feeling better about where things are going. I was the only person who was asked to take the position....the only one who didn't express a wanting for the job. I am glad to see that the work I do does not go completely unnoticed. From here I can go to Asst. Manager in the next few years. My ultimate goal is to hit the corporate level within the next 17 years. I think I finally made to the right path.
