work is good
i got some good news today. my training program has been revised and now we will be completing our training program in june, instead of december! i think they're doing this because the company needs to start changing now, and can't really wait any longer for us to finish training. they want us in our real roles quicker. it's great because i thought an 18 month training program was too long, and this way, we can actually start doing stuff and making an impact.
as a part of this change, we also start our training in home office earlier than anticipated. basically, after the crazy christmas shopping season, we make the move to the office. i actually have enjoyed my store placement thus far, so this information didn't excite me as much as some of the other trainees who don't like their store.
speaking of the store. i will be making the move from ladieswear to housewares. it was quite the shock, but as my store manager put it, it's a compliment to me that they think i can handle the move and that they trust me to move to a busy department during the busiest time of the year and lead it. it'll be challenging, but i'm up for it.
seems like everything is going well so far for me in my professional life. that's not to say that i don't get frustrated, overwhelmed, tired, and a myriad of other things either. oh wait, is there a double negative in that sentence?
anyways, all in all, it's all good. there's more i can say, but there's just too much explaining involved, and i bet most of you are bored and have already stopped reading halfway through this post.
on another note......
i'm coming home for new years! i asked if i could take some time off after christmas, and they gave it to me! so i fly in on dec 29th, and fly back on jan 3rd. it's not much time, but it's better than nothing. at first, when i thought i wouldn't get to go home during christmas, i was ok with it. but the more i thought about it, the more i wanted to go home. both my roommates would be gone, so i'd be home alone, and everyone is going home, so i didn't want to be the only one not there. i'm probably going to still not be able to catch some people because we'll be home at different times and some people may be going away, but either way, it'll be good to be home.
(sorry if this post doesn't make sense, is boring, or all over the place because i was watching OC, CSI, and ER while writing this. seems like i only watch shows with acronym titles)
