Oh Dear, I Fear...
It's been far too long since a post has been posted.
Things are going very well in my little world right now. The photography end of things has been moving along slowly, just about like I like it. Word of mouth is an awesome thing for sure.
My new-ish job is keeping me extremely busy, which I love. I still have supervisory issues, she gets on everyone around here's nerves so I'm glad it's not just me. I've also learned a few things that have astounded me and some that really haven't shocked me at all...this all brings me to the conclusion that no matter what State Agency you work for...they all have the same backbone so they're all going to have a lot of the same BS that takes place behind the scenes. I feel like I must be growing as a person because I'm letting less of this crap bother me and keeping my spirits high...perhaps it's because I know I'm not doomed to be stuck working for the state for the rest of my life, I have much higher aspirations. I may be good at being a receptionist but I am also a fabulous dreamer and I plan to follow those dreams on to do something huge one day.
Anyway, I was told by my supervisor that some people had called and or emailed to inform her that they really enjoyed talking to me on the phone. I'm professional, kind, and pleasant and it makes them feel welcome when they call. Granted these are all people from the Department of Agriculture that are calling frequently but I like to think that I keep a nice professional and perky receptionist demeanor on a daily basis. I had one lady tell me my name was an angel, one that cared for animals and small children and I guess because I listened to what she had to say even though it had absolutely nothing to do with our office she felt like I was an angel ;-) made me feel pretty good. One thing is for sure, being fake happy on the phone all day even when I'm tired and feeling crappy on the inside on occassion is pure exhausting. I go home at night ready to pass out and I sleep in till about 10 every weekend. But I really like the busy feeling of working here and most of the people are incredibly nice and friendly and I feel like I'm doing so much better than I was ever doing at DOT. It's refreshing.
Other things in life? Emily finally had her wedding and I finally got to be a bridesmaid. My dress looked fabulous and I was voted hottest bridesmaid according to everyone at the wedding..another ego boost. Nathan came up for the wedding and spent the weekend with me again. How are things going there? Slow and steady. I'm hoping for good things in the future but it's hard to tell if it will pick up or decline again. I'm not the type to give up when I think something is worth hanging in there for so he has been informed. ;-) Like I said, life is actually pretty good right now and Thanksgiving is tomorrow and things couldn't get much better than this unless they were covered in dark chocolate and topped with nuts LOL! Hope you're all doing well and that you have a lovely holiday!
