You know how you promise yourself that you're not going to be "that" person that is constantly posting bitchy blogs so that your friends feel like they're obligated to make you feel better?  Well, this is one of those blogs... :P  JK
This is my one hundred, thirtieth posting, and it's going to be a special one.  :) 

So, what's going on in my life?  Well, I'm still working at the same job that I've been working at for the past year and a half.  Still trying to work my way up the corporate ladder without doing the dirty with my boss... LoL

I've not heard from the psychotic, homacidal lesbians since our little texting match a few weeks ago.  But, then again, those pesky lesbians are coniving, evil bitches that can lay in wait for weeks, months, even YEARS! LoL  JK

I'm still looking for another job.  I had a job interview with an external training company to be a corporate trainer.  It was going to be 60k a year, benefits (health, dental, vision), paid vacations, paid sick days, etc...  Come to find out, the place was in Dawsonville...How the hell am I supposed to get from Atlanta to Dawsonville?  Have these people lost their minds? 

Oh well...I really would like to be a corporate trainer though.  So, if someone knows where I could get a job like that, I do have experience.  And, I'm relocateable.  I promise to only sleep on your couch for two weeks at the most... :P

'Nywayz, moving on.  I just got back from Savannah.  Ron and I went there for the weekend.  We had a wonderful time.  Then, we found out that to go to the clubs there in Savannah, you have to be twenty-one.  Of course you do.  WTH was I thinking? 

Oh, well, I'll be twenty-one in July.  Which, btw is coming up very quickly, and I DO expect a party with lots and lots of booze, sex, drugs, and rock&roll...LoL I'm just kidding...kinda...  :)

So, my move to Boston isn't turning out so well...  I guess I just kind of expected everything to fall into place.  Yeah, well, just like everything else in life, it's not. 

Some people say life is a bitch.  Life is not a bitch!  If life was a bitch, it would be wearing a dog collar and a leather mask, subconsciously begging to be loved and accepted by his "master."  Life is a sadist.  Life likes to throw you on the ground and fuck you up the ass without lube or protection.  *sigh*  Life and I are having coffee tomorrow...I'll keep you updated... :P  JK

Hi everyone!  It's been a while since I've blogged, so I wanted to write a few lines to let everyone know how I'm doing.  :)

Well, it's been one hell of a year!  As a lot of you know, I moved to Atlanta at the end of last year, and so I've been back in Atlanta for a year now.  I'm enjoying the hell out of myself now that I'm back!  :)

So...Current events...  Let's see... Most of you already know, but, I went to the managers meeting that's held twice a year at my job.  I was the first shift supervisor to ever go.  I was invited by the VP of the company.  She asked me to teach a class there.  So, I flew to Boston, waited outside the airport for an hour and a half, drove to Stratham, NH, where I taught all of the store managers around the country how to take lease lining, excellence in customer service, premium language, product knowledge, selling techinques, and the "arrival" back to their teams.  It was a smashing success, and I still get emails and phone calls from store managers and even district managers about success stories that they've had by using the techniques and training that I gave them.  I cant help but feel a little giddy that I've contributed to other stores successes by sharing some of my knowledge.  :)

So, after I taught my class, I was "appointed" to Area Trainer.  I'm over all of the stores in my district (which is Atlanta, North Carolina, Chicago, and Florida).  Basically, what that means is that I'm in charge of training all new employees on selling, premium language, customer service, and product knowledge.  It didnt come with a pay raise, but it's definitely something that I can put on my resume.  :)

Also, I'm in training to be an assistant manger!  I'm not promised the promotion, but I'll be trained just in case the position becomes available...  It's a long story...LoL 

So, all in all, there's a lot of things going on in my life right now... I'm still working two jobs.  At my other job, I'm transfering to a different store.  I'll be working at the Airport store.  It'll mean more hours, which means more money, which means that hopefully, I'll be able to get my own place pretty soon.  :)

In other news...LoL  My brother moved to Texas.  He had a job offer out there, and so he decided to take it.  It takes a lot of courage and confidence to leave everything that you've known for your entire life behind to go and start a new life.  He's a very strong man, and I'm very proud of him.  :)

Also, I still dont know who my parents are.  LoL  I dont know how to talk to my mother.  I tell her about all of the promotions that I get at work, and all of the great things that are happening in my life, and she's like, "That's great...Did I tell you what Rachel (my sister) said to me the other day?"  I'm like, "Yes, Mother, you did.  And I dont care.  Thanks."  LoL  You know, I cant help but feel a little hurt.  I may be wrong, but I think that most parents want their children to succeed and to move up in life.  My mother still seems to be a little bitter that I couldn't stay back in Dalton and work in a carpet mill like my father, and live in a trailer park, and never have anything nice my entire life like her.  She's a little upset that I decided that I couldn't live like that.  She seems to be a little upset about the fact that I wanted something better for my life.  She seems to be a little upset about the fact that I wanted nice things, a good job that pays well and is going to take me places, and a nice place to live.  You know...All I want for Christmas is for me to be able to call my mother and hear her say that she's proud of me, that I'm doing a great job, and that she loves and accepts me.  *sigh*

Speaking of Christmas!  I have an entire week off after Christmas, so I will be expecting to see a lot of you that live here in ATL while I'm off!  I expect to be wined and dined because you're ecstatic to see me because I never have time to hang out!  LoL  I just thought I'd let you know... :P

'Nywayz, that's about it...So, just leave me some comments and tell me how much you love me and you've missed my random blogging, and I'll be happy.  :)

Love you guys!
