Well it has been a minute since I have given an update on me, so I thought I would do so on this gorgeous lazy Sunday...
So I left off with my sister getting married, which turned out to be a pretty great event...All the Fam came excluding a few but hey their loss, it was quite emotional for me as many saw with the realization that my baby sis was leaving me but a very good happy event. They went to Hawaii for the honeymoon and although a little wet over there they were able to spend quite a few days in the sun and enjoy the beaches over there, she took many pics if you wanna check them out she posted them to her myspace ( http://www.myspace.com/103581795) so take a peek. Then it was time for her to come home...only change was it wasn't our home; she moved in with her new hubby currently to his parents home as he wanted to save up so they could get a nice apartment...
...so emotional time numero dos, my best friend in the wide world also wasn't going to live with me any longer. I am still quite emotional about the whole thing. My sister has always been there with me through thick and of course thin, never judging just consoling and being there, to make my crappy day better with inside jokes or just understanding my frustrations and now she isn't, and it has been a very hard transition. I see little things throughout the day that I would usually store in the back of my mind as Mia Tidbits (just silly stuff that only makes scense to her and I) and I would come home and we would laugh about these things. Stuff around the house that just reminds me of her and they would always make me call out to see where she was in the house so I could come and bug her whether she was doing homework or reading or just sitting in her dirty cavern of a room listening to music and I would come and sit with her. Now not having that ability any longer has been such a difficult change in my life. But she is happy and that is all that I can ask for, the transition will be long and hard as it has been thus far but I will move on slowly but surely...
Blech look at me crying like a little kid. lol onto some happier notes in this world of mine.
So work is going really well we are moving into Q3 of our fiscal year and it has been a good road thus far, I will be getting a raise soon and my bosses still are very impresses with my ability to handle a much larger workload I have not updated on my job in quite a while so since the last time I am still working nights :( However I have gotten a lot more responsibilties which has been a welcome change in my time at night. We have a pretty large client base in the United Kingdom and since they are 8 hrs difference from us when it is 12am it is 8am over there and they are just starting their day. So majority of our calls at night are UK based, so up until now we have had 3 account managers running the entire UK business including Customer Service the only thing we did was escalate all issues to these 3 or so people. Well since we are open 24hrs the company saw a need to increase CS with that LOB so they did a test pilot to move all customer related issues to our call center well guess what that falls on the back of Overnight Crew so for the last 4 weeks I have been the Liaison for the UK LOB (LOB= Line of Business) and man it is just that a whole different line of business I have been working the Epay aspect of our company for 2 years now and am VERY efficiant in this field well UK are very similiar except they only do Gift cards. So I have been heading this up and we have officially taken over all Customer service for the 10,000+ accounts in the UK thanks to my awesomeness :o) So it has been a whole lot of work but definately worth it.
Nothing else really to report...I have started going to play poker at a local Casino and have been successful on my 3 trips thus far.
My Mom is still really happy at her job with her boss Dr. Harker really treating her well.
So yeah that is the current update, fishing season is on again I went down to my spot yesterday and pulled out a couple nice sized bass. I was surprised but the weather is starting to get nice although our nights are still down to low 30's last night it was 34...so let's hope it starts getting warmer, currently it is a very comfortable 68 degrees a little breeze and I am loving it.
Well I am outta here,
cheers then,
