Monday April 25, 2005:
Hi guys, sorry I never updated last week, I was stressed out and pissed off. First off I am stressing and upset over the fact that I have been working my tail off at being good and getting my a&% into the gym. And do have a weight gain blew my mind. It really threw me for a loop. Hence the head in the sand didn't want to talk to anyone attitude. But I'm over that and I'm feeling better. My muscle is starting to show cuts and build up so I am atesting this gain to muscle growth. We all know muscle weighs more than fat, so I am keeping the faith and I will stay faithful to working out. Although I will have to change my schedule at the gym, considering that I am now a working girl!!!!
Okay there is some drama about my new job. Remember the first one I went on that went really well, and I was there for almost 2 hrs!!! Then on Monday I got another interview while waiting for the first one to make a decision. Well the 2nd interview went great and I was really excited about them. Later that day job#1 called and offered me the job, I took it, not sure if I had landed the 2nd job. A girl has to be careful you know, and I needed a job. Well guess what job #2 called and they wanted me, so I set out to negotiate a salary and waited, already starting job #1. Okay are you all still with me?
So I started job #1 on Wednsday, sneaking into the bathroom to retrieve my messages from the recruiter. As soon as I broke for lunch the recruiter told me job #2 wanted me. Especially the manager, Viv, she didn't even want me to interview with the purchasing department, so we negotiated my salary. Then Thursday came, and the call came while I was at job #1, and needless to say I told my recruiter yes and that I would start on Monday. Well I went back to work and acted like nothing happened, the girl training me at job #1 wanted to go to lunch with me but I didn't have the heart, so I told her I already had plans. How could I have lunch and enjoy her company and act like nothing. I had a huge problem ahead of me. I already started a new job, was into it by two days and said I would start a new one on Monday. Also if I left job #1 should I go on Friday or not? It ate at me all day, everyone there was so nice especially the girl who was training me. I mean even the boss came over to me and asking me how were things and that he was planning on taking some time the following week to work one on one with me for product training. Man was I in deep.
So I left not knowing what to do, but a bit before I left I heard the girl who was training me asking what was she supposed to do since I was taking over all of her duties? I over hear her being told she is going to work closely with the office manager and get involved on the E-commerce site. That was supposed to become my job! So now I'll be stuck as a data entry, customer rep until their ready to hire someone else, which I'm wasn't going to happen anythime soon considering there were no desks left available in the office. So that made up my mind. I went home mulled it over and sent a resignation email. I thanked them for choosing me and apologized for what I was doing, but I had an opportunity I couldn't turn down. Everyone there was nice, one woman kind of rubbed me the wrong way by how she spoke to me, I really did like the woman who was training me she was great, but from day one I felt out of place. I knew I was making the right decision.
So today I started my new job, job #2, and I am so happy I chose them. The crew that is in my department is fantastic, I really like them. And they really made me feel welcomed and a part of the crew. I was introduced to just about everyone today, and they were all the same, great and welcoming. I met 2 of the 4 bosses and one is going to be really cool to be around, but I'm sure there are some harda%$ around, there always is. But i know I am going to really be happy with my choice. I'm sure I will be stressed out a lot, it gets crazy in my depart. but I know once I learn the job I will handle it like everything else.
Okay now that I have caught you up to date, it's late and I need a shower and to hit the hay. Oh by the way I finally got the pics of me 2 weeks preop, I will load them up in a day or two with new pics of me. I promise they will up this week!!! Nite nite!!!! |
