Stolen Off My Sisters Blogs

Here I sit in my cubicle, starring at my double monitors, and I realize I haven't had a post in a month. I have come to the conclusion that I have had tons to write about, just too lazy to do it. Now I am at work, trying to get through my Friday cheerfully, and stealing ideas of my sisters (in-law) blogs. I hate saying "in-law" by the way. They are my family anyway you put it, and the in-law part just makes it seem like it's forced and there isn't any love to back it up! But being the youngest in a large family, with big age gaps, I have in-laws that have been part of the family almost as long as me, or at least as long as I can remember. These wonderful women keep my brothers happy, and give me my beautiful beyond belief nieces and nephews! Granted I am a little short on nephews, 9 nieces and 5 nephews, with one nephew on the way! And one gender undetermined on the way! I just thought I would tell my family I love them, since I went off on this tangent! :) And post what I came here to do.

So many people love and adore you. Your outgoing, loud, friendly, enthusiastic personality is magnentic and draws people to want to get to know you better. Keep smiling that gorgeous smile!

Well guys, this is what happens when you get bored at work! But maybe you learned something else about me! I really like these survey type deals, cause they give me questions I don't usually think about. Plus, when I can't think of anything to blog, these are pretty helpful!

New Job Position!

So I have been working for Pinnacle Security for almost a year now, in the Account Creation Department. After having moved from agent, to team lead, to head team leader, my bosses called me into to let me know about great opportunity positions. So I sent in my resume, had an interview with a panel and got the job! I found out on Friday and started on Monday. My new title is, Area Office Coordinator, in the Account Administration Department. I'll break it down for all of you that aren't in security sales. We have a lot of offices still open throughout with country with guys selling, even though its' off season. I am the AOC over 3 offices. Washington DC, California LA East, and Beaumont TX. All of those offices have office managers physically at those offices. Those office managers report to me. So any questions, concerns, problem account, things like that, I help them take care of. I also take care of some paperwork, like approving all the payments for those offices. And I am in charge of making sure the Office Managers (OM) do their job, and i calculate their bonus. There is a lot to do everyday, but it makes the time go by so quickly! I think I like it a lot, but it is just the first week, so it may be too soon to tell!

Well here I am. New to this whole blogging thing, but I hear that it's easy and more fun to do than keep a journal. So i am trying it out. Putting faith in other people's opinions! Hopefully I will stay op top of it and update it often so this isn't my only post for months and months. So welcome me to the Blogging world everyone, cause here I am!!!!!!!!

It has been quite a good Sunday for me. I love my ward and my bishopric. They are a serious set of studs. I got a calling to be on the FHE committee today, so Monday nights are all me now. And about seven other lucky suckers who got the same sweet calling. Oh the joys of a ward so large they have to make up callings and make huge committees so everyone can have a purpose in the ward. Only in Utah. Then in about two hours I will be heading to ward prayer or ward stare as I like to call it. The ward gathers together, boys to stare at girls and visa verse, and then we say a prayer and socialize. It's pretty awesome, I really enjoy it. Of course I have to spent at least half an hour before it, freshening up because you'll never know who will be there staring! Oh man, the dating world is really ruthless sometimes! Just gotta grin and bear it and enjoy it though! Cause most times, it really is a blast!
