I have now been at my new job for one month. I still love it! I have not received notice of licensing for any states yet, but I'm waiting. Semi-patiently. I know, I can't even utilize the licenses until I get on the phones, but that's only 4 weeks away. I want those 32 licenses, Dang it!
I am actually making friends at work. I don't normally do that. I am the type of person who goes to work to work, not to make friends. I am friendly with my coworkers, but for the most part I don't create deep friendships. I think this time is different because we are in a classroom setting. It makes creating friendships a little easier. Next Saturday we are having our first Pot Luck during our lunch break.
As hard as I thought it would be to learn insurance, the software that Allstate uses, how to service customers on the phone, I am picking up really quickly on everything. I have even found ways to decrease my own auto insurance. Man, there are discounts I have never even heard of!
Mom and Dad just left Portland today. They were doing an Antique Show there. So they got to see Tori for the weekend. She gave them a short tour of campus, they went out to dinner a couple of times, and got lost with Aunt Beth and Uncle Darwin in Vancouver. They were trying to find Olive Garden and ended up circling around Vancouver, WA. There was lots of laughter and fun!
Kat has been excelling at bowling. High school bowling is over and she only has a couple of months left for league bowling. For the first time since she started bowling we will not go to state bowling in Boise. I can't get the time off from work. It will be okay though. I might just see about getting her in a summer league so she can get more practice.
Sammee is half way through her last semester of college. Oh my gosh, I just realized that she will graduate in exactly 2 months! Where the heck did the time go?!? Wasn't she just a little girl like a week ago? She is rehearsing her last college show, "Into The Woods." I think I may actually get to go see it. My schedule will change when I get on the phones, so I will have Saturdays off. I am looking forward to when we get to do a shift bid.
That's it for now. I shall probably start to rant about some politically charged items in the future that are currently stewing underneath the surface. TTFN!
