Well I know some will point out that it has not been a week since I was gone as I said. I was really speaking of the week days. Especially this week when I was training for my new job. It was an interesting, no wait, a great week. I will admit my vacation away from JU was not 100% away. I did come around from time to time and looked at some of the articles and responses. But it was kinda nice to let my mine clear a bit from all the constant debating and arguing around here.
Although my official first day was 2 weeks ago, I began my training this week. It was great, I learned a lot and I’m loving it. The people from the Dept are great, nice and a terrific team. They have accepted me in with open arms. Now that I’m working in the Accounting Dept I have more respect and get to enjoy all the benefits of the Dept such as all the incentives they give for doing a good job. I finally got the job of my dreams and now all I have to do is work harder and go to school (which the company will pay for) and continue on my way up in the company. They even made a pizza party to welcome me in and congratulate me for the position. Finally all the hard work and patience paid off.
During my time off I had a lot of time to think and get my mind together. I am in the process of getting ready to move from this apartment in the hopes of improving things. I am working hard on fixing my credit and learning to manage my money better. Sorry to say not all things have gone well. My truck broke down and now I have to sell it cause I can’t afford to fix it. I’m sure someone looking for a cheap vehicle and eager to fix it will find it appealing. I can’t expect to get much from it so I won’t. This will encourage me to get a better car next time.
I also found myself inspired to write a few article while I was off. Some from things I have read on the internet and some from articles and replies from JU as I browsed around. I will post them little by little so that I don’t have to keep track of so many articles at one time. I have also done some soul searching and decided that my way of thinking and seeing things had to change. It will take some time to adjust to the changes but I see it as beneficial for my future and that of my family. Well let’s get started, I missed picking on the resident troll or “the old clueless one” as some call him here.
