Mastering the Sonic Boom

I like to call my bike the Sonic Boom because it sounds intimidating and it definitely was until I was forced to learn to ride it.

I live with my mom right now, less than 2 miles from my job, so sometimes I have to ride my bike to work.  I can almost always find a ride but it's kind of nice to be able to go places according to your own schedule.  Autonomy is a luxury that I have taken for granted for a looong time.

It only takes me about 20 minutes to get to work including all of my dismounts due to busy intersections.  I love my bike though!  My goal is to lose 100lbs before 2012. Rawr.



Today I was approached by the HR guy at work.  "Why don't you want the CSM position?"  CSM is Customer Service Manager, basically a Head Cashier.  So I told him that nobody had asked me about it, and does he really think I would pass on a promotion?

Now I've been unofficially offered two promotions and I guess I'm just going to wait to see which one comes through first.  Also, I got my 90 day review and I "exceed expectations" but really, who's surprised?  Well, perhaps my former employer is...maybe I'll send it to them and they'll consider having me back ;)

I got a job but I don't want it.

That's not true.  It's a good job, they pay me fair wages and my bosses just love me.  (Typical)  I got the job at "Retail Shed" and I've been there about two months now.  They're trying to promote me to the Deli but we have to wait on the suits at Corporate to approve it.  It's nice when your boss says, "we need somebody that we can rely on over there." 

This brings me to my next point, I applied to go back to Baptist.  I spoke to the nice ladies in HR about it and they said I should apply.  Evidently everybody is leaving so maybe a combination of desperation plus me proving I'm responsible will make them decide to have me back.  I miss making a difference at work.  (Got some wine with that cheese?)  Seriously though, I love it.

By the way, I got the job the same week my Unemployment was supposed to be approved/denied.  I guess I'll have to live off the government in my Senior years.  :/

I really miss my little blog.  I'm going to start trying to write at least once a week, it would help if I had a charger for my MacBook but soon, I will.

I'm going to DC in October for Halloween, me and C are going to be Uncle Sam and Rosie the Riveter.  I can't wait.

Also, have you seen the preview for One Day?  I love Anne Hathaway but I can already tell her British accent is worse than my Redneck/French accent and she gets paid for that.  Yikes.
