I can blog again!!

It has been so very long since I was able to blog during the day...lunch hour or breaks! But I just started a new job today and I have full access to all the stuff I have been missing for so long. Many of you probably gave up on checking my blog, but many of you have bloglines, so hopefully you will get a chance to check in every once and a while.

Where to begin on an update and have it be short enough for people to glance through and get the gist. One of the last times I actually blogged about me, I was working at a computer helpdesk...stressful and not much fun! I left that job, substitute taught for a month and then got hired in at a workman's comp place, working in administrative services...or better yet the mail room. That was a great job, but paid crap. I actually did a good job and was given responsiblities early on and excelled. The job didn't have much more room to grow in and they were on a hiring freeze. So hurry up and wait for the temps to get hired on. They wanted to hire us temps, but the union they are part of wouldn't let them. Many changes were about to happen and they weren't sure how many people it was going to take when the changes had taken place...so I started looking for another job. A couple of weeks ago, when they announced at AF that they were definitely going to stick with temps, I went to a temp agencies website to check out other temp jobs. I got the call on Monday that I got another temp position as an administrative assistant to the executives of a fast growing company and 3 days later here I am. But the best part: $5 more an hour :) Huge! And through the holidays...this couldn't have come at a better time. The bummer is that it is definitely a temp position, I am filling in for someones maternity leave. So far everyone is great and I think I will fit in good here. I sure hope so. Hopefully when this job ends, another position within the company will become available, that is my hope.

Enough about me: Dan is doing well, but hoping to make a career change. He has been with his company for 10 years now and they gave him no recognition....no bonus, no gift certificate, not even a card. He doesn't get anymore vacation, 2 weeks a year and that is the most he will ever have. They treat him terribly there, actually they treat everyone terribly. That is the company that I got let go from because I bought smoky links instead of Bob Evans Sausage for a company breakfast. Never tick the owners wife off...lessoned learned. Better yet, never work for a family owned business again.

I will have to come back and give an update on Josiah...but he is doing great and learning lots of little words! To fun!
