Promotion
So, today at work I signed an official acceptance letter at the company I have been interning. I get a significant pay raise and benefits. So..I'm pretty pumped. It's an assistant position, so not ideal...BUT it is a great opportunity to learn a lot about HR and training functions. It will be good. I'll also have some more responsibilities. I'll be taking on resumes and finding job seekers for open positions. Should be interesting.
However, I still hate sitting behind a desk! But - I am starting to work out at lunch and try and move around a lot and listen to the radio so I don't zone out too bad. I still need to get classes though so I don't keep straining my eyes.
I am going to buy a scale soon and start doing my weight counter on the side again. I have graduation and weddings coming up, so I need to get into shape so I can wear cute dresses and feel comfortable in them.
I will keep you updated!
Peace, Love, and Patience...

Bi-Polar Career
So...I'm having second thoughts about the job I'm currently at.
I mean, its a great job and I work with wonderful people...but I hate to be stuck behind a desk all day. It's just not me. I hate desk work...and I don't concentrate for that long very well. I just don't understand how someone can "enjoy" doing work that is so repetitive and doesn't inspire creativity. I do, however, get to be creative once in a while, but because of marketing and branding restrictions...I don't really get to be creative because everything has to look the same. So, therefore I do not really get a chance to truly be creative.
I want to be active and work with children. Looking back, I'm not sure why I chose the major I did. I love working with children...
It's not just that though, I want an active working life...I can't handle sitting at a desk for much longer. And it is taking a toll on my extremities...my legs have started aching....
I don't know. I haven't been doing my lunch workouts because it was xmas week then i got sick and you can't work out when you're sick...it makes you worse.
But...I'm going to stick it out for a while. I signed up for a tumbling class on Mondays starting at the end of Jan. so hopefully that will work some kinks out..and I'll be going to the gym when I get back from Denver next week. We will see. I also think that if I get invovled in a church with a young adults group and maybe help out with the youth group or something, that will help as well. I could really spend all day just playing games and running a camp or something.
I think I just realized what my dream job is....a camp. I could never really figure it out. It's so simple. Running a summer camp - why didn't I think of it sooner. Hmm...dunno. Wow, that feels good. Maybe open a small library (I love reading) and a summer camp. It could have a book a week that the young kids read and longer sessions for the older kids. Oh that would be so neat. But not be like a book/reading camp...be a fun summer camp, but incorporate books so the kids will learn to love reading. And they could have a workshop where they could record their own books on audio, oh that would be so neat.
Alright, well that feels good. lol.
Now, I just need to figure out how to get there!!!! haha.
Well, that's all for now-
Peace, Love, and Patience...
