Disappointed

Just had my first "talking to" at work. Apparently I talk too loud when I'm talking to clients on the phone. These are clients trying to make appointments for amplified phones. Of course I talk loud. I competely understand that my office is small and that sounds resonate out into the hallway and into the other office. Just a little hurt I guess. I'll get over it though. I know that I'm helping others so thats what is important.

From now on my office door will be shut.

Life is a Journey...is there a short cut?

Beware: Rambling and confusion approaching!

I used to be so good about keeping up with my blogging. I don't blog for the readers..I blog for me. I love to look back and see what was going on at certain times. So why have I been so lazy about posting lately? .... I guess I'm taking stock of my life....AGAIN. Making sure that I keep to my path and continue on. I'm feeling a little off course. It's not bad though...

I know I'm confusing. I like direct routes. When I can't get to where I want to go directly I get flustered and start rambling. Like now! So this little post is a swift kick to my chakra to get me back in line. (Thank Lloyd for making me remember about Dharma and Greg. I loved that show too!)

I just spent two days issuing amplified telephones for senior citizens. I loved it. It was wonderful to know that some of these people haven't had a decent phone conversation in years and now they will. Nothing better than hearing "Wow...I can hear on this phone!"

So where does that leave me? Pulling out the big atlas of life and making sure that I'm in the right neighborhood, I guess. What is it that they say, "It's not the destination it's the journey"?

Ah well...Thanks for reading (if you made it this far)

4 weeks and counting

It's been four weeks since I took my QA exam. I know they said approximately eight weeks for my results but this is killin' me.

I don't wait very well.

Speaking of waiting, I'm waiting on contacts and my glasses too...

My world consists of a lot of waiting these days. Guess I'm being tested.....

Patience .....

This is odd

I actually have less going on in my life but am more tired the past few days. I don't know why and it's buggin' me. I only work a six hour day and shouldn't be so tired. Last night I was too tired to eat my dinner. The plate was just there in front of me but I only ate about half my broccoli and rice and only one bite of the pork (which didn't taste good to me but Jerry sure liked it). I went to bed a little earlier last night. I'm hoping I just need to catch up on some sleep or something.

Supernova

My little office has two banks of florescent light out of 12 panels total in the ceiling. It makes for a very bright little office. I often find myself squinting. I don't know if I can ask that some of the tubes be removed or if that is some kinds of OSHA violation. At home I thrive in dim rooms with only the glow of the computer or TV. Maybe I'm some kind of vampire that is only effected by well lit rooms...

Rough days

Work is a little overwhelming. My biggest problem is that I don't say "no". I try to squeeze in as many appointments as I can and I'm not leaving enough time to even catch up on all my paperwork. I need to be more aggressive with my "no" and remember that I'm only one person.

I miss interpreting! I need to get some gigs so I can keep my skill up. No way am I going to waste the three years of school I just completed!

I know things will smooth out....they always do, but for today I'm just going to be pouty about it all.

I are a graduate (again)

I got through to the testing center at FCCJ and they updated my transcript so that they will send my degree to me. Yay!

Work is going good. I'm very busy as my supervisor is going out for surgery (please say a prayer for her) and won't be back until sometime in June. Yes, I'm learning my job the "Baptism by fire" method. It's okay, I do well under pressure.

The next big thing is that I get some interpreting gigs!

Yay!

3 A's and 1 B and I'm done! HURRAY! I totally forgot about a project in the class I got a B in so yeah..it's my fault. No big deal. So now I just have to bug the testing center to put my passing exit testing stuff in the computer so it shows I'm graduating!
