Still Waiting.. but on the move?
I’ve still not heard officially on my job, but it seems I’ve got it… provided I accept it.. pay has still not been discussed… they’ve not “created” this position yet, it has to go thru a requisition process.. it had almost finished when they realized the job discription was wrong so it had to start over again… I’m confident it’s mine, if not… I will collect unemployment for 2 years and go back to school full time (they pay for it).
Meanwhile…. I’m getting some good experience in. They’re sending me Iowa City and Cedar Rapids week after next to train them on how to do what our call center does.. I’ll get back on the 27th or so (leaving the 21st or so).. then on the 29th, I drive down to Columbus, GA to train that group. It’ll be the first buisness trip I’ve made where I walk in not knowing ANYONE. I don’t even have any contacts down in those offices. Maybe I’ll try to make some work contacts this week…. not that I’ll have time to socialize. There’s a 2 1/2 day (if I’m quick and I have no choice but to be quick) training I have to present to approx 30 people. In IA, I’ll have 2 centers to go to…. GA will be a lil more relaxed.
It’s all very exciting.
Bad thing… my laptop seems to have died… I’m working to either fix it or … sigh.. replace it. However that’ll be cutting into my travel money. I’ll have to wing it and see what happens. I NEED my wow escape while traveling.. I really really do.
We’ll see… I feel so… grown up…. and I keep wanting to tell mom about all I’m doing. She’d be so proud. Caught myself today, wanting to call home and tell her about the trips and how I was wishing she could tag along, just to see the country. If she was here, I’d pay for her flight… and let her ride down to GA with me. I’d even get a smoking hotel room so she’d not have to go outside to smoke (used to always complain at her about that… and it was so dumb of me to fret over it). It’d be a blast.. for a split second, just after they told me when they were sending me… I forgot mom was gone.. and in that split second, I saw us on the trip together, wondering what sorta shops she’d find while I was at work. It was a very nice split second.
Anywho… another late night update…. wishing you all the best.

You know your mom is there with you, and she is riding for free.
And I bet anything she is proud. I sold my wow account. I still have one, I’d sell it too if you know anyone. It’d be el cheapo.
