Its A Monday

Guess what today is Monday....and as seems to be common to a Monday everything today was behind schedule. Starting with Jessa and I not getting up until about 15 before we should have left... noticed I said should have left. Then everything today seemed to have hiccups in it. Thankfully the customers I talked didn't have cranky Monday attitude.

Friday they turned my phone on...and I started taking calls. Thankfully I'm still allowed to turn my phone over to messages when I'm working on something that in depth so I don't lose track of what I'm doing. In the future I won't have that option but when your learning how to do something and you get lose track it just really messages up the speed of training. The few customers I've had have been really nice and my boss was listening in a couple calls today and told me if she was on the other line she would have no clue I had only been there a few weeks. That made me happy. Though when leaving messages for people I talk to fast. She pointed it out to me but I already knew that. I've always talked fast but when I get nervous it gets to fast.

I GET PAID FRIDAY!!! YAY!! and its going to be a pretty good check do to overtime... got to love payed training. I had 6 hrs of overtime. Its actually really cool how they have it set up. Normally overtime would be consider that over 40 hrs in a week but here its anything over 8hrs a day is overtime. So though I only worked partial days my first week, I worked overtime days last week while learning how to do month end. Thus I get the pay for that. Amie (my boss) was helping me figure out what that would mean for my check (a Monday distraction hehe) and at the moment I can't remember what it works out to be but it will be close to what a normal check should be for me. Awesome!

I made it through Month End!! if you work in an office or know what all goes into that then you know how big of a success that is. They kept asking me if I still liked my job after everyday. By the end of the week it was still a yes just not as chipper of a yes lol.

I've realized something- the break room (deli) is filled with super healthy food and thats because the accounting office is filled with junk food. Between all of the candy everyone kept putting on my desk and the desserts the kitchen kept having us sample I feel like I gained 10lbs (which I didn't:P)

I got a really cute bunny cup and stuffed bunny rabbit from one of the payroll clerks, I got a bag of candy from the accounting manager (not my boss- but my boss' boss) and the Athletic Club attendants gave me an water bottle with the clubs logo on it for at my desk. I work with such sweet people... and all girls.

We were talking about shoes on Thursday and one of the ladies that I share an office with told us how she was at Pennys and bought a whole lot of things and in the process the cashier mistakenly put a pair of shoes in her bag that she didnt pay for and didn't want...make a long story short they wouldnt take them back so she gave them to me. So I got a pair of brand new high heels for free.



They are 3 1/2 inch heels which if I didn't sit at a desk for the majority of the day would be to high for work but almost sadly I'm parked at my desk all day.

Because of Easter the owners decided to let the Accounting depart leave early (paid) so me and Lynn (she's the office assistant and my receptionist) decided to go shopping. I got a new shirt so I would have something new to wear on Easter. It was fun I really needed it. We both joke and say that its finally nice to have a friend. We've both only been in AK for a short time and haven't made many friends. I think she needed it as much as I did.

Sunday was different not the normal Easter that I'm use to. I do think that it was the first year we didn't decorate eggs which I didn't think about it until reading Rebekah's blog and seeing Elijah, Alana, Josiah and Moriah decorating eggs....aren't those kids just the cutest! Dad also left again on Sunday... which I needed him to fix a few things at the apartment and forgot to ask him. Also forgot to have him load up my desk to bring over. Oh well.

I found out on Saturday that I was going to do the Sunday night service I don't really like when that happens I always feel so unprepared. Becuase of the discussion on Grayson's blog between Gray, Jared and I or rather between the two of them lol I thought the members here might be interested so I hope I didn't bore them.

and I think that brings me back to Monday. I haven't done an actual post in awhile ... but to spare you from more rambling I'll end this even though I'm sure I'm missing things...nothing of grand importance. Its just another week.

I'm gonna go check the other blogs while I wait to be picked up. I forgot my camera other wise I would have gone up to the top floor of one of the towers to get pictures of the city. Some other day.

have a blessed day!


OH! Guess what we saw grass for the first time on Saturday. Exciting!
