Couldn't Resist doing this....

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EVE EVERYONE!

So many things!

I couldn't help but give Will his Christmas presents today before work {since he will be gone on Christmas eve with his family, and i'll be working on Christmas}. I think he was a little upset with me because i got him so much. It was just a bunch of little things... protien shake 3lbs., 2 bottles of GNC pills, Georgio Armonie (sp?) cologne {smells SO good}, a DVD/game rack, 10 DVD's {his favorite movies}, a $75 gift card to Gamestop, and a stocking that had the usual little stuff for everyday use... deoderant, listerine, boxers {i also put his gift card and pills in the stocking}. He helped me carry the presents upstairs 3 wrapped gifts, the stocking and the oddly shaped DVD rack. After he opened up the DVD rack, he told me he thought it was a vacume cleaner! After that he opened up the stocking and got a bunch of cologne and was teasing me that i thought he was dirty so i got him the "vacuume cleaner and deoderant". I am awful at getting him gifts so I just couldn't help myself when i thought of what to get him that he would use. Now he is fully stocked. =)

{Sorry there are no pictures, i have been eyeing other cameras because "mine no longer has good focus"}



Friday the 12th, I Officially accepted the job for my Transfer! Because I am going to the morning shift instead of evenings or graveyard (which is what I work now) I don't get "differential pay".
Differential Pay = your base pay+15%of your base pay........what they pay people extra to work the night hours.
The lady in Human Resources offered me more than my base pay, but with the shift differential pay that I recieve her offer was really less than what i make now. I told her I wasnt going to have a pay cut, so she talked with my new supervisor to see how they were going to handle it. {I wasn't going to accept the job at less money so they had to offer me more or I wasn't going to work for her, and I know they wanted me; they were shorthanded and I had the experience they were looking for} Luckly she called me back after 5:30 pm on that friday and offered even more than my pay with the differential pay so I couldn't turn it down! Since it was after hours on a Friday that I found out, I wasn't going to tell my boss until I saw her the next week, but I come into work on Sunday and as soon as I open the door she said "girl don't you have something you need to tell me?" I said" oh, I got a transfer". She acted like I was trying to keep it from her even though I just found out. Because I had had other interviews and no call backs, I didn't feel like there was a need for me to tell her anything until I new it was a sure thing. that seemed to back fire. But I recieved my offer letter in my email yesterday and I am super excited about starting something new! A little nervous because i'm not sure what to expect, and because I am kindof comfortable with what I do now, but still excited. Only7 more shifts! January 10 is my last shift! YAY!
Oh and I haven't even heard from my new boss, so I hope they still like me?!

Work is pretty much all that has been going on so I'll keep ya updated on anything new when I work tuesday if I get time to play on the computer. ;)

January 11, 2008

Finally a date for me to transfer to my new job! I can't wait. My boss doesn't know yet though because they are going through her boss. I am a little nervous about that, but I am sure it will all work out fine. I am at work right now, another 10 hours until I get off. Mom left this afternoon to go to Dallas to look after Lucien for the night while Melissa and Cary went to their Christmas party. Then mom will go to Arkansas to visit and help Uncle Kevin move to there new house! Will and I are doing awesome and I love that he is in my life, I can't wait to see where we go in life. Trying to plan out the next 5 years or so is not very set. I love to have plans and goals and know exactly where i'll be but I really have no clue where it will lead me. The only plans I have is to pay off my bills, maybe take this spring semester off and start back in the fall with school {which would set me back on graduating until Dec 2010} I'm still kinda unsure on my major so maybe some time off of school will help me figure it out. I'm a little nervous about starting my new job, but I am completley ready for the new transition! YAY!

So here's the story...

So I get to work and I park on the fourth floor of the garage. I like to park in the first spot from the elevator (its stright infront of the elevator) but it's always taken. Saturday when I got to work the spot was taken, so I was pleasantly suprised when it was open on Sunday when I went in at 6:00 pm. After a long night at work I get off at 6:00 am and after a 12 hour shift I was pretty tired. So I had gathered up all my stuff and headed to the garage. I always park on the 4th floor of the garage because that is the "employee parking". I get off the elevator and my car was gone! Not only was it gone but there was a maroon van in it's place. I was so confused and tired. So its not there and I am trying to rack my brain... "maybe I parked on the other side of the elevators? or maybe I just parked down further?" So I walk down further, no car, so I walk back and look on the other side, still no car. At this point i'm starting to freak out and seriously think i'm going crazy. Trying to retrace all my steps that day. I finally decide I am not going to find it and go back to my office and try to figure out what I am going to do. Mary, one of my co-workers, had taken over the shift when I got off. I told her what happened and she called security for me. She said she hopped it wasn't stolen, because one of her friends had just had his car stolen out of his drive way. I started to freak out thinking about all the stuff that's in my car because I haven't cleaned it out in ages. (I had a brand new $200 winter coat, a coach purse, my Biology book and lab book, a pillow, blanket, another coat, 3 bags, and alot of misc. stuff.) By this point I'm not even tired anymore, completley awake! Security calls back and wants me to meet one of the officers to drive around and look for my car. I go outside and wait for him for about 15 or 20 minutes. He finally arrives and I get in the truck and start telling him my car is silver, it's a dodge stratus, 2006, I parked on the fourth floor and it's not there. So we start in the garage, go around the first floor, no car. As we are going around the second floor I think I might see my car. We make the turn to the third floor and I am looking back and see the cross on my reerview mirror. OMG I found my car!!! And it was in the exact same spot I told them.... only two floors down! oopps!Then the security officer tries to give me a ticket for parking on the second floor, because employees are supposed to park on the fourth floor. I was so mad. I said I just spent an extra hour after a 12 hour shift looking for my car because I always park on the fourth floor and it wasn't there. If I don't usually park on the fourth floor I would've checked the other floors and found it because it was straight infront of the elevators as you get out. And I didn't check bc I dont park anywhere else. Needless to say I didn't get a ticket. Must be the Barham or Parks forgetfullness already! I guess I am so used to going in circles to get to the 4th floor that I thought I had already gone aruond 3 times! At least I'll know next time to check the other floors before calling security! Lesson Learned!

Counting Down

Counting down the days until I transfer to my new job! I got a call thursday and they said even thuogh I was offered the job I had to take more tests...So I went right away and passed! {at which I was super nervous} but it all worked out well! Now I am just waiting for them to get my salary quote together and then go from there. {and yes IM GETTING PAID SALARY} yes I am excited about this because Will always jokes with me about him getting paid when he is not working because he gets paid salary. Now all he can say is that he gets paid more...

Brandons New Pet

Brandon's girlfriend Lauren rescued this baby squirrel when there was a bad thunderstorn a few weeks ago and it fell out of its nest. They have been nursing it and it doesn't bite! I think they named it lucky or just Mrs. Squirrel. Here are a few pictures of thepet squirrel! Meeting O'malley!

Quick job update...

I had an interview last tuesday for a job at Trinity Clinic. The lady that called told me that it was a group interview and not to be alarmed. So I get there and wait 45 minutes until she called my name. I go back there expecting a group of interview-ees and one boss, but much to my suprise there were 6 bosses all around a table and me! {yeah i was a little taken back, unprepared to be jumped all over, and suprised} But after about 3 questions they started talking about some chinease girl that was bilingual that they interviewed yesterday and how they would be great at some position... I was thinking hello did they forget im here? am I invisable? then one of the lady's to my left said they already had a position for me! WHHEWWW! It will take up to 4 weeks for the full transfer to go through but man was I excited! It is full-time with benefits monday through friday 8-5 with an hour lunch! Im not much of a morning person but i'll get the hang of getting up early. The job is almost the same as the one I have now. I will be working in the call-center of Trinity Clinic behind the hospital and cross-training to work at the Welcome desk and Doctor's offices to do check-in's and insurance verification. Hopefully I'll enjoy it and the people are nice! My new boss told me instead of scrubs they are thinking about getting everyone suits {just my luck} from JC Penney's. She showed me the new suits and asked me what size she neded to get me. OK so I am a small girl and the smallest the suits ran was a 4 in petite. I wear a 0. Im a little nervous about how this will turn out. Im hoping for scrubs, and nice co-workers! I don't think my current boss is aware yet of me transfer so I am a little nervous of how everything is going to work out because she is already 3 people short :/ yikes! Hopefully all will go well, now that I've got the job Ive been despratley waiting for!
