Well... I have this new habit of skipping posts... Lazy. I need to continue to make this a priority.
Past two months have been good, challenging, rewarding, everything all at once. I am really liking work. It has been SO cool to recruit, hire, train, coach, and build my own team at Kohl's. It's been SO great to watch everyone develop and excel, and a new challenge to get rid of those who weren't able to excel. Excel? Accel? I'm not sure. It has been ODD having like 40 50 year old men and women truly looking to me for support, but it's been great. The team seems to really value me, and I feel good at work. Our store is going well. We've already made over 2 million dollars and we're ranked number 15 out of 1059 in the company!
Life is decent. I HATE the city I live in, it's just like no one smiles. But its 20 mins south of DC, so I LOVE that, and where I work is cute too. My roommate and I have been having some major challenges, she's made a few nice efforts recently but it kind of feels like co-habitating, which I guess is fine. You won't love everyone. Being away from home on Easter was odd. It did not feel good. Haha, so I flew home the next weekend. This made me worry about how I will be working these awful hours during the holidays, while everyone is at home with their families. It will be a challenge indeed. With my birthday this Saturday (of course I'm working all weekend, but I'm off Wed-Fri so that's nice) I'm worried how I'll feel. A solid challenge.
I think I've finally grown up. I'm over drama. I'm eating right. I'm exercising. I'm going to Las Vegas for vacation in TWO WEEKS! With two of my bests Dustin and Lindsay.
You people need to come visit. Washington DC, our nations capitol, near the home of yours truly.
I feel good. It's different. Really on my own. Car payments, cell, insurance, rent, food, loans, feels weird, I don't budget really well, but I get by.
Love learning and growing. God I'm a cheeseball. I miss Frank Ticheli.
