Life is Good

May 27, 2010

Wow! I can honestly say things are falling into place.  I feel energized and excited for the future.  I completed Step 8 of the Make Today Matter program. The step focuses on starting your morning off right which pretty much means in a positive seize the day manner.  Simple enough, right?  It’s almost too simple and often mornings are attached to feelings of blah and grumpiness without even ones knowledge.  Mornings set the scene and mood for what the rest of your day brings.

Repeat after me… “GOOD Morning!”

I plan on waking up every morning and writing “Good Morning” in my CAN (Catch All Notebook) which I will talk about in a future post because I have been cleaning for 3423432 hours and my eyes are growing heavy.  Then again I will probably not fall asleep until 3am because Armani is still in the hospital.

So ya… Life is GOOD. Real GOOD. I am not going to deny it.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE

I gots a job bitches!

After enduring an excruciating hour telephone interview that included all crazy get in your head questions, 4 hour technical in-person interview with 5 different people, application process which had to include 3 personal references, an online reference questionnaire to be completed in 48 hours by 3 past coworkers and 2 past supervisors, credit check, background check, and education check.

I received the telephone call Friday and had tears in my eyes. I actually missed the call and returned the call.  In true K fashion I was afraid, I thought it would be another rejection to file with the others and put another dent in my dwindling self-esteem, but NOPE.

Instead, it was a telephone call with an offer of an amount that was even more than I had been making at my last REAL* position and I am not talking this nightmare, 160 hours of PTO (Paid Time Off), 7 holidays plus 2 additional floating holidays, medical, dental, and vision effective START DATE which happens to be June 9th, a senior staff position, and a bunch of other little perks that make me glow.

When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”

Note: I have a lot more to talk about but unfortunately Armani was hospitalized last night due to a busted Pancreas.  CUE REALLY REALLY worried girlfriend.

ICYMI

May 19, 2010

I’m a mess. I am discombobulated.  My time management skills I acquired from being a kick-ass executive assistant went out the window when I lost my job. The depression and anxiety I deal with on a daily basis make it difficult for me to get out of bed in the morning.  My energy level is NULL.

I need to change. So, when I was offered an opportunity to begin the “Make Today Matter” program by Brook Noel I jumped on it.

I am currently working through the program’s Phase I which is often referred to the program’s “toolbox” consisting of the 30 basics ingredients of fulfilling a more balanced and organized life.

Thus far I am liking the program.  What do I like most about the program?  It’s interactive.  You openly interact with seasoned users and beginners of the program in open forums expressing your experiences and showing support with others in your group.

Let’s “cheers” to a more energized, organized, and balanced K in the near future.

remember that time

where I deleted my blog, had a heart attack, and called Bluehost and they fixed it?

ya… I HATED that time, but anywho I am back with a vengeance and only lost my last few posts and I am not going to complain about that.
