its been a while...lets see what he's been up to.
its been a decently eventful past couple weeks. starting w/ school...
-i finally found my abnormal psych. cdrom that came w/ my textbook. that will definately help out for the upcoming test.
-biology has gotten boring to me. i dont even know why im taking it. i guess its been, oh, 3 years of biology classes for me. maybe im bored. dunno.
-i dont see any of my friends at school. the evening class schedule, while convenient, kinda takes my social life away from me. though, it does make each time i see them worth a little more.
work has been, well, work.
-actually, excluding today, there hasnt been really a full staff at blast on my sunday mod shift. there was at least 1 person who shows up late or not at all or for the wrong shift.
-today was the exception cause it was the opposite of what is above. made my day less stressful... rather, more easier and lazier.
-im being weened off of blast shifts now. because im being "paid what i deserve" at the front desk, ive decided to move on from blast and join in the foray of front desk. though it could be boring and tedious at times, i think ill do well. ive got the support of everyone at the club and everyone seems to be confident in my ability. i will be working friday nights for parents night out, but as far as the morning shifts tues/wed/thurs, i wont be there. camp may be something else. for now, i dont think ill do thanksgiving camp. that may change.
the last point has got me thinking a little. its been a year and a couple months since i joined blast. ive gone through some good times and some bad times, some awesome co-workers and some i just didnt care much about. its been a wild ride in the past year. i never thought i would last a couple months after i started blast. a couple months turned into 4 months, which turned into 6 months and so on. eventually i realized i was here for a year. there were things within the year ive been here that i had never thought i would ever do. i never thought i would be surrounded w/ such a great staff who have become like a surrogate family and an awesome group of friends. i never thought that some people who ive bonded with would leave so soon. and i never thought id move up "the ranks" so to speak in the company. all i really did was do my job; do what was expected of me; do what i was paid to do. nothing more. i guess, in some people's eyes, i did more than that. whatever. i really couldnt have done my job w/o the people im with on a daily basis. its true; theyre the ones that keep me going at the job. these are the people who i would go out of my way and just talk to for a few minutes, or if they needed my help, i would be the first one to volunteer. even if theyre having a bad day, id do my best to help them feel better. i guess its in my nature to keep things at a "happy" medium. i know that my friends would try to cheer me up if i needed it. i know my friends would help me to the best of their ability to make my day run better. its to these people who i will personally say "Thank You." thank you for the wonderful year at blast, the 3 months at summer camp, the long morning shifts, and even the various parents night outs on fridays. thank you for helping me see where i should go next or what path i should take. thank you for inspiring me to make me a better worker. thank you for letting me have this opportunity with your support. while i will miss my daycare days and the kids ive grown to love, i know it wont be for the last time for a while. that is, until i finally get out of school and be the teacher i was meant to be. it really was a hard decision in making me into a front desk person; on one hand, i was told i would be paid what i deserved, but on the negative side, i would be at the front desk on a frequent basis and not at blast where most of my friends are. when they told me i could get my schedule worked around where i could work all of my areas on different days, i was sold. again, im not completely gone from blast...more like on loan from blast to the front desk. who knows what i will have in store for me in the coming months. i guess ill be doing what ive been doing for the past year, which would be just doing my job.
