So... what will it be??

I got a text message this morning from the one boss saying that he didn't have a good feeling about the new gal. I was like WTH... so I told him that no... things were fine - that I'd received a text from her last night. He said that he didn't think that it was good. Next thing... I get a text from him saying that he receive the text saying that she's not coming there. I'm like ... your making me very nervous WHO are you talking about?? Around 11 this morning... I found out that the gal backed out. You HAVE to be kidding me!!!! URGH!!!

So... I called workforce again. I was nearly in tears. I asked her... "WTH can a person apply for a job... get the job... and then NOT take the job???" She was speechless. She tried to reassure me that we would find someone. BUT... WHEN???

That is when... I started to think. Is God testing me?? He only gives me what I can handle... but is this a lesson. Just to show me that yes... I could get another job... but to also show me what I am worth at Building Tech?? I would never and the guys' would have never known what I was worth... until I left there. So... now what is the next step??

Do I... 1) Ask them to make me an offer to go back?? or... 2) Do I make up an offer and ask them if they will go for it?? I have never been in this position before. I have always worked and worked... and never really have had anything to show for it. I am still very 'caught' on what I will do. I do like my job... it is taking some getting used to... between all of the having to prove in my life - life has always been a challenge for me. I have a lot of 'what if's' to look at. Life is not always easy. I felt guidance from above to get my job... but now I feel like I'm hanging off of a cliff. It's not an easy position to be in. 'sigh'

Life is insane...

Most of the days lately... I could just sit and cry, but what good is that going to do?? NOT a darn thing. So... suck it up and God only gives you what you can handle... right?? Well... I do question it quite a bit lately.

Let's see... in looking back the last month... I quit one job 'planning' (what a funny word...) to be able to spend more time at home. Well... since then... it's turned into more work than what I ever in my furtherest dreams... would have thought.

Yep... I trained the gal... would get phone calls all of the time - hey, have no problem until I figured out... she was NOT getting it. Even with the help that I was giving... the additional notes, I was still finding stuff. I started to explain to the guys' that this is NOT good. They too expressed their concerns. That is when... I didn't hear from her. So... no news is good news, right?? Not with this gal. The books were a MESS!!! So... not only was I going there in the evenings... getting phone calls during the day... spending my weekends there... but she wasn't following out ANY tasks. The bills were 2 weeks late... no receivables were billed. OMG... WTH is she doing?? Oh yeah... and then I seen that she actually worked 48 hours in one week!! :O :O :O UMMMMMMMMMMm.... I never EVER did that! NO WAY!!! So what if she charged them ONLY regular time... HULLLOOOO... that is still NOT called for. So... last Saturday... I went in and started to work on my quarterlys. I came across so much stuff... it was just sickening. I spent HOURS... and hours making notes... changing things. If you can only imagine giving somebody authority that had NO clue what to do... that is what I was / am still finding. So... as of Monday... they fired her. The company is without anyone right now. I did do some more interviewing... and I believe we might have found someone. Until then... I told them very clearly... I would way rather go in and do the books at my pace when I can... instead of going in and doing them but ALSO... fixing stuff that she screwed up. They took my advice.

But... my days and stressless is nuts. As an example... today... I got up at 7:30... got to work early for a conference call at UPS... left there late at 3:15... ran to the post office to get the mail for Building Tech... went down there until 4:10... because ya know, payroll IS due tomorrow. Left there then at 4:10... to head to the YMCA... to teach my first class. As you can see... I never even got lunch. So... at 5:30 I ran to get a sandwich. I ate that during the time I was training a new gal for the stability ball class. Then... went to my next class at 6:30... taught until 7:30. From there... I returned to Building Tech to finish my payroll and do my monthly payroll taxes and liabilities. I arrived back home with 5 minutes to spare... until the girls came home. I'm a wreck...

I'd love to just ... go to the bar... Ok... ROFLMAO!!! When 'will' life slow down???

WAY TO GO GIRLS!!!

WOOO HOOO!!! Miranda's ball team is in the 2nd bracket winning right now. They beat the #1 team tonight 18 to 11. :O :O :O YEP... they play again on Thursday. They are pumped. The girls should be. They were in last place... and have moved their way up! It's AWESOME!!! Not a competative bone in my body... ROFLMAO!!! Hee Hee!!!

Man... 5 days gone again already...

Where DOES ... the time go?? I still really need to work on the rest of our vacation days too. :( :( I will find the time... I promise that to myself. :)

Let's see... In looking back... Miranda has played ball several times. She is definitely the 1st baseman. She plays again late tonight. I don't like the late one, but it's not my choice. The girls are enjoying watching her play also... huge difference from last year. :)

I'm back to teaching my normal classes. I needed the break ... but I really missed my students and they DID miss me!!! :) Oh... and I'm trying to figure out a few more classes with my new schedule also. That will probably change when the girls are in school... but I'm letting my director know NOW... so I get MY own spots. :) :)

Last weekend... we did a lot of racing. I was a grease monkey also... gotta love getting my 'hands' on experience. LOL! Friday night he got 2nd... Saturday night he got 2nd... and Sunday he got 6th. He's really doing well. :) This next weekend... he races Friday night and Saturday night. He says that he can 'feel the win'... I hope and pray that I'm there to witness it. :) :) I just know the smile he had on his face after tech on Saturday... brings a smile to my face even now.

Jas, Am, and I will be heading to the lake right after work on Friday. Maybe even early. I need a break... and it will be nice to be there around the campfire... drinking, and chatting. The girls will enjoy playing together. We will probably head home after a full morning / afternoon of boating... to watch him race in town. I feel that I need to be here.

As for me... I'm trying my best to 'focus' on the important things right now. I find myself having to tell myself to STOP... and relax. I know that it will work out... if I give things time. I'm on speed mode though... multi-tasking right now. I just scheduled an interview with another office manager for after lunch tomorrow. Maybe... she will be the right person. Then the training comes into play. I am willing to train the right person... if I can find that right person. :)

I have a NEW JOB!!!

OMG... it has been nearly 11 years since I made a decision like this!!! I'm excited yet... VERY nervous!!! I know that I will be fine... but it's just finishing things here... and trying to find somebody to 'fill' my shoes. YIKES!!! I will NOT leave this company in a mess though. I will not do that... right or wrong...

So... now I am off to learn about shipping! ROFLMAO!!! Well... not really! It will be a nice change. I am so excited about the change in hours... and the long range future with them. That is really what made my final decision. I know that within 4 years... Bob will retire here, and I will NOT work for Roy direct. Sorry... NOT happened. I feel that with the guidance above... this is the right decision right now for the girls and me. :) :) :)

The Test...

I took the 100 question test yesterday. It was something that I attempted to think... WTH will they be asking, but I never ever thought of the items that they DID ask. LOL!!! I survived... even after having a migraine so bad the night before that it put me down. I asked how I would know if I passed it... and he told me that out of the 3 canidates, that the computer would score the tests... and then pass the information off to him. He would then call either last night or this morning... to only one person to offer them the job.

Well.....................

While sitting here yesterday afternoon at work... my cell phone went off. I didn't recognize the phone number because of the area code... but I answered it any way.

It was................. HIM!!! Offering me the job!!! OMG............ :O :O :O :O I really wasn't sure how this was going to turn out. I knew that stepping up to the plate... that it could be a change, but I was going to be me... and see how it turned out. I told him that I needed to think on it. His voice just FELL!!!! He gave me the evening to think... so around 8 pm... I called him back and told him that I would love to be part of their team. I really think that he thought that I was not going to go forward.

BUT... after talking to both owners face to face last night.... they are calling a meeting to try to change my hours to get me to stay. This really isn't a hasty decision... although it might seem that way. I have been looking for something that would give me long range benefits... and this job would be that way. I would be part of a big group... but still running the office on my own like I am here. The times that I've been there... I did feel 'at home'.

So... I'm not sure what will take place... but they are going to 'try'.

Alright ORNERY!!!!

After about 2 minutes of meeting her... I can SOOOOOOO understand why you left Wyoming and left her there. LOL!!! Yep... this is quite the ornery joke... and I'd have to say that YOU did get in the last word. ;-) I love you Bill... and I will never forget how last Friday... you got in the 'How's ornery doing..??' before I could. I even told you that... it wasn't fair. LOL! We had a good hearted laugh. That is a memory that I will hold close to my heart for the rest of my life. So ornery... you certainly pulled a good one on me. I am sure that your up there laughing. Love you... Rest in peace...
