I need a nap...
Wow, it's been a very long time since I posted anything. That's the problem with being an adult. People want you to be responsible and do stuff. I'm almost 6 months into my new job and I love it. We've had a 2 people leave since I started and so now, aside from other girl, I have been there the longest! Which is really weird. I love the job though, and all the people I work with, well most of them, are so great. One of the greatest things is that everyday I learn something new and get new responsibilities, so it's never boring. We are always busy, so the days go by quickly and work is fun. Today was slipper day at work today. We all got to wear slippers and I wore donkey (from shrek) slippers. Espi (our training manager) work sponge bob square pants ones, it was great! Of course there is always going to be one person who has to be negative... There's this women in accounting, she just turned 29 or 30 this month, so she isn't that much older then me, but everyone else is talking and telling me how neat they thought my slippers were, and she walks past me and says "Over kill, girl, over kill". I felt like telling her that if she didn't have anything nice to say, she should just not say anything at all. I think she is just being mean because on wends. Kelly (the only girl who has been in Ops longer then me) had an allergic reaction to something she eat and her lips and face started to swell (she looked like Hitch, for those of you who have seen that movie) and people kept coming in and out and talking and laughing about it. I really didn't think it was something to laugh at but it didn't bother Kel, so I didn't say anything. But the Misty-Dawn (the women from accounting) came in, and she is just so loud. And Tony and I are trying to answer phones, we couldn't hear a thing! So I asked, and I wasn't rude or mean, if everyone would mind being quieter, and she looked at me as if I had asked her to give me her kidney. Apparently, she thinks that anyone who hasn't worked for the company as long as she has can't even ask her to be polite But other then her really I love everyone at work. There's a woman named Milli in legal who is so awesome. She just brightens my day by talking to me. And my immediate boss's, Yvonne, Trish, and Wendy are just the greatest people I have ever had the privilege to work for. They are so supportive and helpful and I know that I can always go and get help from them. I have never enjoyed a job more. We just had a new marketing guy join the company, and apparently he's very big in the collection scene. He's bringing in so much business; it's very hard to believe how fast the company is growing. It's estimated that he will bring in a billion dollars in revenue over the next 2 years. They are already spending money like crazy people. New phone systems, hiring more employees, you name it. It's going to be interesting.
On a less good note, my Uncle Jerry passed away. I don't even know what to say... My grandmother is devastated, my mom doesn't seem to know what to do, and I feel completely useless. I never know what to do or say with these situations. Uncle Jerry was sick my whole, so I know that it shouldn't have been a surprise, but since he's been sick my whole life, I just didn't expect it. He has a lot of problems, he was manic/depressive, had schizophrenia, congestive heart failure and a lot of other things. I saw him 8 months ago, and he thought I was my mom. My grandfather passed away a couple years ago, and my uncle has been saying since then that he just wants to go be with his dad. The wake is tomorrow. It's awful; I just hope he is happier now.
Ethan (my nephew) is so big now!!! He's 2. I can't believe how much he's talking and he is so creative! He loves the piano. I'm hoping Melissa might get him lesson after the baby is born! Yep, I'm going to be an aunt again. Melissa is having number 3. We find out if it's a girl or a boy on September 5th. 5 days before me birthday!! Alexis started the 1st grade last week. I can't believe how fast they are growing up. It's amazing. They are so much fun though. Ethan calls me May-May because can't say Megan.
Well, I'm sure I could find more to babble about like Harry Potter book 7 or movie 5 but I don't want to mess with the cuts and I also don't want to spoil people....
