I seriously feel so blessed to of gotten this job with how many people I was up against while interviewing... needless to say I'm so much better than all those other peeps ;) AND I don't think I'll blink a tear if Mr. Matt ever yells at me. So Hurrah for me!
So lets get down to the dirty details shall we?
Why I <3 my job:
*I love that I'm the purchaser & that I have my very own American Express card. I just feel so official with it :)
*I love that I get to buy all the food for the employees and switch it up every once in a while. The thank you's are non stop when I do. Especially if somethings a hit!
*I love LOVE <3 our massage therapist HEATHER {Insert heavenly angels singing here} she has done wonders for my neck!!!!!!! Thank you, Thanka you, THANK YOU whom ever made her a consistent visitor here :) :) :) >
*I love sneaking a peak at people playing CrAzY ping pong games. I never knew human beings could play so well.
*I love when my manager brings in her new little baby. Sophia is the cutest baby in the world. Seriously!
*I love the new friendships I've made with Laura, TR, David and the billing & renewal peeps.
*I love that I go to HR conferences and trainings with my boss.
*I love all the experience I'm getting in tons of different areas.
*I love that I get to move around the office a lot & get out of the office on a regular basis.
*I love getting to know the employees (YES even if 80% of them are uber dorky).
*I love that I've already gotten a raise! Wahoooooo!
*I love that everyone around me is pretty much my personal IT team (aka geek squad). I'm learning so much about computers.
*I LOVE that I can look forward to an AMAZING bonus this Christmas. No more hand towels thank you!
*I love that I have a Mac & a PC :)
*I love my amazing new desk (that's probably more expensive than my car).
*I love that my job is only 2 miles away (biking or running it takes me less than 30 minutes) and the AMAZING in house shower.
*I love our executives, they're so down to earth & funny. Makes my job so much less intimidating!
*I love that I practice my "ping pong" form when I'm walking around the office.
*I love my new "EASY" button that the staples guy brought in for me :) :) :)
*I love my new painting that Miglena donated! Such a gorgeous oil piece :)
*I love seeing Miglena walk by in her Oh so AdOrAbLe tennis outfits. I seriously am considering taking up tennis just to dress like her.
*I love lunches with the accounting team and riding with Miglena in her posh Mercedes.
*I love love LOVED driving Matt's BMW 8 series and can't wait to drive his Range Rover or Dodge Viper!
*I love that I'm getting a printer. I'm a HUGE fan of the scan to email feature. It's so high tech and green.
*I love getting to know the quirky people that work here...
*I love giving the PI tests (personality tests) and want to learn a lot more about it if I can :)
*I love how casual the dress is. Why? Because when I dress up I stand out and get a bazillion complements. And when I dress down it's just... nice :)
*I love that my desk overlooks the golf course and river... such a peaceful setting (side note: I have noticed A LOT of golfers are very well dressed and VERY attractive... from far away that is.) Plan on me picking up golf soon ;)
*I love my own personal strobe light. I get a kick when I turn it on, just for a minute though because who wants to go into seizure mode???
*I love running background checks... I feel like a total detective! Carmen SandiegOooo?
*I loved doing new hire orientation... yes I did it all by myself a couple times!
*I love that a tech left a book of computer jokes on my desk for me to read in my "spare time"... sadly I didn't really get most of them. Sorry I'm not a super geek yet!
*I love the ICE machine in the break room. Mmmmmmm Ice :)
*And finally I LOVE that I'm so busy. I'd so much rather have a busy productive day at work than tons of down time. Feeling needed & useful is the best thing ever :)
Things that I'm not fond of:
*I don't love that I've gained some weight here... yes... Free food in the break room will do that to you! That and Sams club pretzels being so close.
*I don't love that I no longer work close to other people, as in sitting in close proximity to other people. I never realized how much I would miss having someone over my shoulder.
* And finally (then I'll stop whining) I wish there were more single girls around my age working here. It's cool being friends with married peeps, but It'd be nice to have a close gal pal at work. Maybe eventually... we are always hiring :)
Over all this was the perfect move for me. I'm so much happier here. It's heaven sent really. I feel so lucky. I've decided I want to start playing foosball on my lunch... or have a friendly game of ping de pong :) I'll have to update on that!
I'll get some pictures up soon. Hopefully... if I get some time ;)
Till my next post.
