Moving

I enjoy my job. I like working with the agents I work with. I like the other Seniors I work with. I really like training new classes. I currently have a good schedule and for the most part, I'm happy with my job. I would however, like to have more responsibility. When I'm training I'm in charge of 20-25 agents, making sure they understand what is going to be expected of them. I get the opportunity to work with them for four weeks and by the end of that time, I've developed pretty good rapport with them. Lately, when I'm not training, I've found myself a bit bored at work. When I'm working as a Senior, I'm wandering the floor helping agents, and I like it, but I'm ready for more. That's why, when about three weeks ago and email came out saying they were hiring three new managers, I figured I'd apply. At first I just thought about it. But soon I had a few managers ask me if I was going to apply. And not the managers that I necessarily...

Destination - La Coruna

I'm going to Spain!!! My flight path was Portland, Oregon to Chichago, Illinois, to Madrid, Spain to A Coruna, Spain.  I was supposed to leave on Thursday morning around 7am and arrive on Friday afternoon around 11:30am.  Caught the "supposed to" did ya?  Well as travel goes, it wasn't exactly according to plan.

We boarded about an hour later than we were originally supposed to.  Once we got onto the tarmac to leave though we got news that Chicago was still having issues and now we had to wait about another 40 minutes. Eventually though, we got in the air. Once we landed in Chicago, because of the delays, there was a back up to get to the gates.  By the time we were able to depart, I'd missed the boarding time for my flight.  I booked it to the g...

God is GOOD!

Can I just say, I love my job! I was just struck today by how amazing God has been to me. I was just sitting poolside at a grill restaurant in the hotel I'm staying at, in Cebu Philippines, eating molassis and pecan crusted salmon as this great tropical breeze blows by and I just have to be amazed. All of this is being paid by work, and all I have to do is my job, which I love! Never would I have thought three years ago that I would be on my second oversease business trip with this company. I dind't think I'd be there longer than 6 months and this month marks 3 years! I have been so blessed to be able to travel and do what I love. I've been to Asia 4 times in the last 4 years. A testiment to God's sense of humor since I never had any desire to go to Asia :) But if I'd gone to work anywhere else, my opportunities to travel probably woudln't have been available. So, things that happened today to make me write this... I had jumbalaya and fresh, as in I co...
