Remember back in 2012 when I gave work the proverbial finger swearing I would never be anything other then a phone jokey? Yeah... that didn't pan out too well. Now, not only am I managing and directing 13-20 people I'm also leading the entire call site here in Portland, and all other call sites nationwide in the use of our tools. How you ask? Because I accepted a new position that several other people weren't able to handle. And for the last 9 months I felt I couldn't handle it either, despite the fact everyone said I was doing great. My new manager and I didn't have the slightest clue what we were getting into. We didn't know how much this position would grow and all the additional responsibilities that were to be crammed in 17 hrs per week. But finally I think I have the position figured out, and each week now seems to be getting easier as long as I ignore the perfectionist within me.
Which is great timing because I'm about to jump back into school. Now that I know I want the AAS in Web Design and Development I managed to draft out a plan for all my classes. So from 9/23/2013 to Dec of 2016 I'll be doing 2-3 classes a term year round. Due to the nature of the classes I'll be able to do most online but there will be some that I'll have to miss days of work for. Thankfully I'll have the job to practice what I learn for any of those pesky tests. So I fear my social life will not exist at all or will be entirely online. I better get a newer phone... shucks... ;-)
Well I'm off to go shower and runs some errand, bye all!
