First Days

Today was my first day at my new job at BCBSF!!!! I was so excited to go this morning, even though I knew it was going to be super boring. When I got there I got my pic taken twice, once for my temporary badge and then a second time for my REAL badge that I got later today! I still don't like the pic on my REAL badge but Doug says it looks okay. After that we waited for like 15-20 minutes for our instructors to get there so we could get started with our orientation. It was okay and we filled out a butt-load of paperwork and went over benefits and had breakfast and what not. Then we went to lunch and the cafeteria there is sooooo awesome! They have all kinds of foods and they gave us $7 in free lunch money to spend on our lunch! After lunch we played a game where we had to find objects in the room and in our belongings that started with every letter of the alphabet and we WON!!! All the ladies on my team and I won a BCBSF lunchbox! I came home with sooo much stuff: a BCBSF tote bag, a BCBSF notebook, a BCBSF sunvisor, 2 BCBSF pens, a BCBSF lunch and some other stuffs. Do you get the trend, every single thing that they have in the entire building has BCBSF on it somewhere, even the gum they had for us said BCBSF lol. After the game we met our trainer for the week. He's pretty cool, a little spacey and his name is Howie. He told us never call him, "Sir" he doesn't care if we're from the south and that we were raised to call anybody and everybody either sir or ma'am. It's just common Southern courtesy and I will probably slip up and call him Sir but he'll have to get over it lol. We were supposed to be there until 4:30pm but I guess they got done with everything we were supposed to do and we ended up leaving by about 2:30pm and I was home by 3:00pm!!! 

Today was also Ethan's first day at his new daycare! I really love this lady! She is so nice and sweet and her house is an awesome place for kids! www.kingskids.biz is her website if ya wanna check it out! Ethan is going to have to get used to it though because while he was there he only took like a 30 minute nap when he's used to taking a 2 hour nap everyday. One problem I think is because she has the kids that 1 or older sleep on mats on the floor rather than in a pack-n-play or crib like he is used to sleeping in, so he has a lot more freedom to move around and get off it. I'm sure it won't take too long and he'll be used to it though. He loved his lunch, but I think his snack messed him up. He had oranges and raisins and tonight when we got home he puked everything he ate for dinner and all his snack came back up twice...once in his highchair and once alllllll oooooover MAMAMAMAMAMA! Ethan and I had to run to the bathroom and get in the tub. It was sooooo gross and I almost lost it and puked too but I held it in while Doug helped me get everything cleaned up. 

Oh and we got our taxes done today...I can't believe the freaking government almost punishes us for being married we got back like almost $1700 more last year before we got married than we did this year since we've been married. It seriously sucks but I guess something is better than nothing and we're getting back like $2400 so it will actually help out a lot!! P.S. 14 month olds do not do good at Jackson Hewitt waiting to get your taxes done. It's just not fun. lol

Welps, I'm tired and ready to go to bed so I can be nice and refreshed for my first day of training! Doug and I will now be carpooling to work so we are going to save moolah on gas!!! YAY for saving money!

I got it, I got it!!!!!

I am so freaking excited!!! I got the job I interviewed for last Wednesday! I was stressing out so much about this new position but the lady called me today and said they were offering the position if I would take it! Now, I have to right my letter of resignation for my current job...I have mixed emotions about this only because they had been very friendly and family oriented for the past year and then in the past couple of months is when stuff just went down. I guess it was going to happen sooner or later but I am going to be officially the first person to leave since all the BS went down. Have I mentioned that I am soooooooooooooooooo EXCITED!!!!

Okay so another day has passed and I haven't heard from the company about the job. I am getting really nervous and my freakin stomach is in knots...Hopefully I will hear something tomorrow...I need this job, it would help us out so much. I just got done watching American Gladiators, I've never seen that show before this season but it is actually pretty good...The people on the show are so freakin funny.

interview update!

I was so nervous this morning. My stomach was in knots. I couldn't even eat breakfast. I got to the interview about 15 minutes and was asked to sit in a room and fill out  a paper asking some simple questions. I finished that no problem and then the interviewer came in. We went through my job experience and then she asked me the questions.  I was very nervous, I felt like I kept stumbling over myself but I pushed through! She told me that if hired the job would start later this month! Then later after the interview was over, I got a text from Doug that said, Good news. Linda (the interviewer/hiring manager) said you did awesome and came by Coreys desk to let him know!!! I am sooooo excited!
