Como se Dice??

Well, what is going on with me? Well from the last time we spoke, I am not sure if I specified what had happened at my other job? I was let go from my project management duties. It turned out that there was not a real need for me since business was slow. I knew that this was coming but I really didnt know it was going to happen. When it did happen, I wasnt mad. I understood what was going down. So after I was let go, I searched and searched for a new job. No openings. Some interviews but none that fanned out. Then my mom's friend who is the branch manager for one of the Wamu branches said that they were looking for tellers. My mother who is always looking out for me, to help me in any way possible, made an appointment for me to meet with her friend.

This was a Friday and she explained to me what the job was, how much it payed and what was going on. I gave her my resume and applied to be a teller. I went to an interview that following Tues. Met with 2 of the managers there. They seemed really nice.

They called me back and asked that I come in and sign some papers and be a shadow with other tellers. This was the start for my next career move as a Bank teller. After the week of shadowing, I was sent to training for two weeks. At the training facility they gave us the fluff knowledge, the background and the hypotheticals that could come about while being a teller. Happy I made new friends and eager to start my own career I was looking forward to my next week as a teller.

The first week was kind of crazy. I worked Monday, had Tues off, then worked from Wed through Sat. I shadowed for about a few hours that Monday, then they had to do some transactions. I was being watched over by the manager and then by senior teller. But at this branch, it gets busy rather quickly, so they both went off to help other tellers or customers. I was left on my own. There are 2 lines, 1 for direct deposit and 1 for all the other items. I was in the latter type of line. I was doing loan payments, closing accounts, withdrawals, transfers, and finally deposits. As hectic as Monday was, the rest of the week was no different. I found myself somewhat frustrated yet eager to learn more. I was always learning through those days. You could say that I am always learning. Today is the start of my 2nd week of tellering. Today was no exception. I kept putting money in wrong accounts, but good thing I knew what I was doing and I reversed and corrected my problems. Again, I am still learning the processes but it is getting better I hope. I still have to have my time of being watched and observed by a supervisor so that they can write down and tell me what I need to work on. I doubt this will happen soon since we are always so busy. Any who, that is my life up to date in regards to my career.

I havent been online lately and I apologize for that. Hopefully I can spit out my blogs as the days roll on. But for now, I am doing fine, tellering and working. Not much here on the working front.

My weekend

This weekend was a great weekend. Well, first on sat I had to work, but that was ok. After work, D was supposed to come by and kick it with me. She came by, met my mom and we went over to my aunt's house to watch the fight. It was an ok fight. but what was really surprising was the fact that D got along with my family. Wow she is really cool. When she first met my mom on sat, my mom said to her, hi, welcome and make yourself at home. Wow that was the first time that I ever heard my mom sat that to any of the ladies I brought home, whether they were friends or gfs. That was crazy. Then on Sunday D, went to church with me. That was cool. I kind of explain some stuff to her. I hope she didn't feel uncomfortable. After that we were supposed to meet up with Melissa for lunch but that didnt happen. So we ended up going home, eating left over breakfast and taking a nap. We met Melissa for dinner. That was good. After dinner we came home and laid back on the bed and watch some tv. We watched CSI till we passed out!! haha. Today, we had a nice morning, woke up late and didnt really eat lunch until 1230. after that we chilled for a little bit watched more CSI then D went home. It is hard to spend time with her and just watch her leave. But I know that I will get to see her next weekend. I really care about her and I was glad that her and my family go together and had a great time! ok well thats all for now. I'll be back soon.

My Self Project

I haven't blogged in a while. I apologize for that. I have been up and about and doing some job where I can not get to the internet all the time.But that is for another blog.

Right now, This is about how long I can keep my hair on my head. For those that don't know, I usually get bored with my hair styles so I keep them long, cut them, shave them, dye them or whatever I can to make a change. Recently I shaved my head. I am going to see how long I can go without cutting, or shaving my head. So this is my project:


Goal: No cutting / shaving of my hair until Jan 2008.

Objective: No cutting / shaving of my hair started Oct 5.
( this is was the day I shaved my head)

Proof: I will try and post my results every month or every 2 months. via pictures.


Here I am: Oct 5, 2007





That is my project. Hopefully I can last until the new year!!

iPhone.....

Ok, so today I cleaned my room, and threw out 2 big trash bags filled of stuff from my room. This is to take away from the clutter that someone mentioned that I had a lot of. While taking a break from this, I was surfing my favorite gadget sites and was reading up on the iphone going ons....turns out they dropped the price by $200. I received a check from Melissa for the money I gave her to help with her shop. With that money I went and took the plunge and got the iPhone..ya ya ya..i know, i was bitching up and down about not getting one, getting one, not getting one..and so on, but I did it. I think I made the love of my life mad at me...since we havent talked at all this evening....great. I love f*cking sh*t....why do I do this to myself..I always do it...anywho, I am supposed to go see her tomorrow, but I am not sure. Like I said, I havent heard from her...blah...

Now some of you may ask, well why did you buy it...impulse..price drop..and the fact that I was offered a job and that I start on Monday. Sure it may not pay as much as I am used to...but I'll have money coming in. This is my last big purchase for a long ass time. I will focus on saving money and planning for the future. I just hope that my girl is still with me during that time. I really hope that something like this doesnt mean the end all be all thingy...lets pray it isnt...since I really care about her. The first thing I did after the iphone was synced up was place a picture of the two of us on the wall paper..then put a picture of her on her contact...I am not sure what will happen...blah...

Still here...

Well I am still here alive and kicking. I know that it has been awhile since I have written. A lot has been going on. My relationship to Miss D is going swimmingly. Since I last wrote, we have been to SF, LV, and Riverside together. haha Yah, I know riverside is not that far away, but if you have ever driven there....then you know the pain. Stupid 2 lanes of traffic with 1 carpool lane. I am still looking for a job. Yup, it is that time of the year where no one will answer my emails or calls...I have to search for more jobs or to re-evaluate my work life. I am sitting on money that has been set aside for other things. I have sent in phones for money so that is good. I won't get the money till the end of Sept or beginning of Oct but its all good. Hopefully things will get better from here on out. I am waiting on a job from Wamu...yah, I know its not that big of a jump..but it is a start. I'll have to work there for a year, then I'll be put in a management training program. From there I can move to other locations of the branch. So hopefully things will pan out for me there. If not, or while I am waiting to see whats going on, I have been hitting the internet running, looking for jobs or what not. If anyone reads this and knows of a job opening let me know. I'll buy you dinner or something after I get paid.

I have been neglecting my friends for a while. Not that I am intentionally doing that, it is just that I am lazy and things dont work out the way it should. I hope to one day get my structure back and be on top of things. Right now, D has suggested that I make my own structure. So I will try and do that. For her, but mostly for me. She has been a great supporter and a strong solid rock. I love her for that. She is kind and understanding. How the crap did I get so lucky in finding a girl like this? Man...Thank you!!!

Ok well I am kind of tired so I will be heading off to bed. Hopefully I will have more stuff to write about. Good night and good luck. Take care all.
