I'm the BOSS!!!

OMG I was called Boss twice on Friday. Ok now that is cool but strange at the same time. I love my new job and so blessed to have it. I have a lot of people (ie my old bosses) that know I can do this. I will definitely take how they were and apply it to my job and hopefully can be as good of a boss as Gary and John were to me. They are wonderful men and I am so thankful to have had them both as my boss.

Jaimie: Yes I am the boss and it is strange but kinda fun at the same time.

Two Weeks Down

It has been two weeks now since I took my new job and OMG!!! I am running around with my head cut off. It is stressful and non stop going and going and going but I will make it.

I have a team of 4 ladies who work for me. I am trying to rearrange the office and trying to make sure that our goals are met each month. They are not computerized either.

HOW CAN WE FUNCTION WITHOUT COMPUTERS!!!!

Ok so I created a few things on the computer so that we can function correctly and when I am asked for stats or a report I can pull it off the computer and not have to go back and hand write everything out.

I am trying to get pictures updated, the look of the Hotel ETC. This is a great job and I am blessed that I have it. Keep me in your prayers that I have the strength to go on.

On a better note:

Hayden is doing well. He is in daycare/preschool and loving it. He is growing like a weed. He is wearing 4/5 size clothes and is not even 4 yet. He is a cute and loves to talk, talk, talk. He comes up with some stories that he has worked hard to think about but are so cute. He read to Scott and I last night instead of us reading to him. It was so cute.

Scott and I are doing well. We have been looking at houses for us. With the tax credit and his discount with Ideal Homes we have been thinking about buying now and taking advantage of it. We agreed that we would not live together until we were at least engaged so that has to come fist then the house. I am excited to look for a house that we can live in together as a family and raise Hayden.

I got a JOB!!!

Ok so it is about time!!! I finally got a job. After almost 2 months without one I finally found one and a good one at that. I will be the Marketing and Sales Director for the Biltmore Hotel. I am so excited and can not hardly wait. This is going to be a hard job but one I know I will do well at.

No what to wear on my first day..... Oh I hate this after 5.5 years of wearing jeans, shorts, t-shirts and hats to work I have to dress up again. It is like the first day of school. What to wear and what not to wear. Oh well I will find the perfect outfit soon.

I will update tomorrow after my first day on the job and tell you all about it. For now I have to finish cleaning the house and hang my curtains I got for my Birthday (yes Robin I know that was back in March) Get over it!! :) I am just now getting around to doing it. Off to cleaning.

Robin and Zetta it was great to see you girls today. I really miss you both and wish I could bring you all to my job so we could all be together again. Maybe I will see what I can do.. HUM that would be great. Love you both and will see you soon. I am just down I-40 from you all so not far to come and see me.

For Robin

Here you go Robin.

It has been a while since I posted anything... so here is what has been going on since my last post.

Last day of work at ARAMARK was June 30th. It was a sad day and one I thought would never come but it did. It was a Tuesday and for the rest of that Tuesday and week it was hard to think that I didn't have a job to go back to. Felt a bit like a Vacation and I would be back to work that following Monday. Well I decided to have a garage sale and use this time off to look for a job and get my house together.

I had a huge Garage sale and with my mothers help it was fantastic. I worked so hard and was up so early both Friday and Saturday. Once it was over Mom and I packed everything else up and took it to the church for good will. I was done and didn't want to hold on to anymore of it any longer. I have been known to be a pack-rat and I was glad to see it all go.

I have continued to look for jobs. Been on a few interviews but nothing is panning out. I have applied for a job at my church as the All events coordinator (which was my mothers job that she resigned from June 30th) And also as the Church Secretary. At this point this is the only lead that I have and will have my second interview tomorrow Monday August 17th. It has been nice not working but now that severance is over (only 3 weeks) and my Vacation payed out I am in need of a job. I worked at State Farm as a temp with my dad's company for a week and that was a lot of fun. But I can not keep doing these temp jobs. Hopefully I will have an answer tomorrow night.

Hayden is growing up so fast. He is now 3 years 7 months old and is so smart. A few weeks ago at church Robert (our Pastor) gave Hayden the "box" which he gives a different child each week for children's time. They are to bring something in the box to surprise us and that is what Robert focuses the children's lesson on. Well when I asked Hayden what he wanted to bring he said "shoes" Why shoes I asked....(in a voice like you are so stupid mother) he said "because it is a shoe box" I just started laughing. So Hayden took one of his shoes and one of my high heal shoes. It was a good sermon and good laugh for the congregation.

Hayden is now talking about Santa and that he is coming and he has to be a good boy. That is a good thing because i need a good boy every day.

Scott and I are doing great. We are going on 1 year and 6 months in September and I could not be happier with him then I am. Hopefully we will be hearing wedding bells soon and buying a house in the next year. Hayden and I alone are too much now for my little house and to add one more would be hard. Scott works for Ideal Homes and they have some of the best houses that I have seen for new home construction. So we have thought about building a house. Where not sure yet because one thing is where is it best for Hayden to go to school. He has three more years at Village Montessori before he starts 1st grade. OMG 1st grade that is freaky..... Time flys when you are having fun.

Well I will get off here now and post more later Robin... I will also post some pictures of things that have gone on with Hayden, Scott and the rest of my family.

I NEED A JOB!!! oh AND GARAGE SALE TIME

First and foremost I need a job!!! Please let me know if you hear of anything!!!

Second I am having a Garage Sale on Friday and Saturday July 17-18 at my house. Tell everyone you know to come and go shopping....especially those who have boys/kids I have a ton of stuff and Christmas stuff and my clothes as well. It will be HUGE so come and check out and buy everything!!!

Last day with ARAMARK

Today was my last day with ARAMARK at OKCPS. It was a sad day to say the least. I got up and put full makeup on hoping that it would help me from crying all day. Well no it didn't matter I was going to cry no matter what so it was a waste of time this morning. My mom made breakfast for my team and it was nice to have that to share with my ARAMARK workers. I started in January 2004 and seem like I have been there since I started working in 1992. My ARAMARK co-workers have been the best people to work for.
Gary- Quick on his feet and his sayings I will remember always.
Dennis- My big brother no matter what. I loved giving him a hard time and was good at it. I will miss Dennis. Thanks for great years and Thank you for serving our Country like you do.
Jeff- Thank God you came along. I was about to just go nuts with the Grounds department. You are a wonderful man and very talented. It was great working with you.
Leon- My other Dad it seemed like. He always called me CJ and I like it. Leon you are a fantastic person and have a great since of humor. You will be missed. I will learn Gary's Chick song and call you up to sing one day.
Jim- Oh Jim. You are so funny and so much fun to be around. You always knew what to say and always made me feel better no matter what. Thank you.
Steve- Oh boy Steve... Man you are just a Nut. You made coming to work so much fun and enjoyable. You have so much energy and you bring it with you always. Thanks for the talks we had and the laughs we shared. I will miss you.

Then it was off to talk with Robin....That is when the tears started. Robin has been like another mother to me and she is such an amazing person and has strong spirits. I will miss her a lot. Like her card said we are just playing hid and seek, I'm just going to be a little harder to find. Love you Robin and will miss you muches.

Then it was on to Lonzetta....Tears again...What do I say about Zetta. She always has a smile on her face no matter what life throws at her. She is taking care of her mother and working full time. She has been an inspiration to me over the last 5 1/2 years. Zetta you have blessed me in so many ways. Along with Robin you have been my other mother and I will miss you so much. Just remember that "Joe's Crab Shack...I got a pound of crabs for you fried or raw just let me know" LMAO I will always remember each and every one of you no matter where I end up.

When God shuts a door he always opens another one. I just have to wait and see when that door opens for me but I know it will. Thanks again to all my ARAMARK co workers and to all my OKCPS workers. I will miss you all. Love to each of you and keep in touch.

4 working day's left

So as of today June 22nd, I have 4 working day's left here with ARAMARK. I have to say this has been the best job I have ever had. My co-workers are so wonderful and make coming to work so much fun! I will miss them very much. Well it's time to get back to packing up 10 years worth of files and making sure I get all our stuff done and out of here.
