Changes

All I can say is I love my new job!!! It is different, but it is a good different. It has been a big change to actually get my full 40 hours in a week. I am so glad that this opportunity was given to me, I don't think I would have ever done it if it wasn't presented to me.


I found this quote and I wanted to share it..

Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there.
-- Amy Li

I know the past few weeks has been hard for the family and I hope that my sister knows that I will always be there for her. I know I have probably said some things that has got her upset at me and I am sorry about that. I know you are making the choices that are going to be best for you. I don't know everything that is going on (I actually don't know much at all) and you know, I am ok with that. I just hope that you know that I will be here for you whenever you need me. I am just a phone call away and I don't care if it's 1 am or 6 pm. I will always be there for you. That's why we're family :)

Other then the changes at work, that's been the most changes for me. It's nice having a new perspective of things at my work. I just love working for Myriad though. It is such a good company to work for (even if they do have us do mandatory overtime lol). Overall, you know you are doing a good deed! :) Now that I'm out of training, it's REALLY nice not to have to be at work at 7:30 in the morning and I'm back to my "normal" shift.

When one door closes, the next one opens...

I know it has a been awhile since I wrote last. What a rollercoaster I have been on! Just last week, I went from being REALLY REALLY high one day to REALLY REALLY low the next. I did a lot of crying, but I took care of it. If it wasn't for a lot of great friends (and wonderful family to talk to), it would've been a lot harder!

I did get a great experience that I never thought would come... I got a promotion at my job!! The best thing is that the door just opened up for me, I just took the opportunity when it was given. I walked into work one day and got an interview for Customer Service (no, I will not be on the phones). I am really really excited about it. It didn't take them long to make the decision and I started some training today and I will officially start next Monday. I don't think it could've come at a better time in my life. I look back at everything and I really needed this. I have been at this company for 2 1/2 years, and I really needed this. It was hard to accept the position because I am so comfortable in Data Entry but I really needed to move on. I am so grateful for being given the chance to do this.

With the low I had, it was probably the lowest low I've had in a really long time. I got some pretty harsh news that I wasn't expecting and it really took me by surprise. I am so thankful for the wonderful friends I have that helped me get through that. I am also SOO grateful for my family for being there for me. I got the news at work, as soon as I got off work I called my mom and I just cried to her. She helped me realize that I deserve so much better. I also talked to Nancy and she helped me out a lot. She knows how I feel about somethings and how hard it is to have to go through what did and what I still go through. I did realize that my friends and family will always be there for me no matter what. They are my strength when I need them.

I know I don't tell them enough but I am soo thankful for everything that my friends and family do for me. This past week, I really depended on them for so much! I have the best friends/family anyone could ever ask for! :)

I hope that you know that because I haven't kept up to date on this, isn't because I don't mean to.. I really had to deal with a lot last week. If I could express what that rollercoaster was I would. Some people just won't understand. I know if some knew what it was, their response would be "get over it" or "move on" but for me, it's not that easy. It just takes time (and sometimes a lot of crying)
