Winter Wonder Land!!

The winter has once again come to the Northland!! It looks pretty from the inside!!! I don't care much for winter but at the same time I can tolerate it. One thing I do like about winter, is all the summer bugs are gone and the trees look "frosted"!!

This winter will be a busy one for me!! Starting January, I will start training in Eau Clare for Store Manager. I will spend 2 weeks there learning the paper work side of the position. Then in February I will head down to Webster where the new store will be. I will start the hiring proceess along with getting the store set up for business!! Yes all the shelves, product and you name it. I will also be looking at moving to the area as well. So my first two months of 2013 will be taken up with trying to get my feet under me and settled!!  I am looking forward to the new venture but at the same time I will be sad in leaving the area that I am in now. I will miss everyone that I have learned to know while here. At the same time I am close enough to come visit whenever I have a day off as well!!!

In the meantime I keep busy working here in the Hayward store and trying to do the best job I can, even when it seems like everything goes the other direction!! I just keep pushing on with it and make things happen.

SO things are going well, and everyday brings a new challenge to face and plow through!! Keep looking on the positive side of life and you will go far!!  Have a great day everyone!!

Really?

Morning to a Saturday morning. Thunder, lightening and rain were on the agenda this morning! This whole day is open to do whatever I please!! Not sure what to do!! Did have plans but they were dismantled!! Is interesting when thing happen because of jealousy and how that affects their outlook in life. This is why I HATE, yes I said HATE, jealousy. It messes up lives and is very hard to get over. As adults you would think this would never be  a problem but I am guessing childhood is following closer then some people want to admitt.

Why can't people be happy for others that are successful instead of being jealous that they are not at the same place in life? Instead they make it personal and there lies the problem. There is nothing that comes out of being jealous.

Not sure when people will learn this. It would save a lot of lives and keep people moving forward instead of backwards. People have every option in the world to be successful. It is a choice, most people don't want to do the work it requires to make a person successful. So when people are successful, they are jealous because they don't want to put in the work that would make them successful. Do we have a generation of 'lazy' people? Which brings a whole new load of thoughts!! Not enough time to type out the thoughts.  Makes me very disappointed in people these days.

Time to get to work or find something constructive to do!! Have a good day all!!

Busy as a bee!!

It has been a busy several weeks!! I have been asked by my job to help out a store futher south about 2 and half hours, more or less. and so I have been here a total of about 2 weeks and 4 days. It has been a challenge but a good thing as well. I have leaned a lot of things and the experience is one of the best I have had in this field. I understand a lot more of what happens at a higher level then ever before!! I will now be able to do my job more efficently then I have been before!!  I will be heading home on July 4th and have a few days off before going back to work on the next Monday.  So I am looking forward to it. I miss my co-workers along with all  my customers!!  I will be sad in one sense leaving here because I have made some great friends here as well and learned to know some very hard workers!!  I am awaiting another opportunity to go again!! Could be a good thing in the end!!

Today is my day off and I am relaxing and resting after putting in 73.58 hours the first week and 63 plus hours the second week!!! Sleep is ordered!!!

I hope this finds every one doing well and having a great day. Back to resting for me!!

Exciting things happening!

Since I have graduated from college and started concentrating on what I am going to do when "I grow up" there have been several things coming my way. Today was one of those days!! I have the opportunity to become acting manager in a small town about 2 hours away from here. It is only for two weeks for the time being but I will get all the bells and whisles of the job!! I am excited and scared at the same time. I know I can do it, just need to do it!!  So as I am trying to process the information that I have already gotten, I am thinking of everything I need to get done before I go, on Friday!! yes this Friday!!

So that is the big news so far. In the meantime I will keep on plugging away at things, like making my jewelry!! and some fun things.

Until later!!

Another day in the Neighborhood!

It is after 10 at night and just had a long day. If something could go wrong today, it did. Now I am sitting in front of my computer. I should be doing homework but all I want to do is head off to bed and forget the day happened. The sad part is, tomorrow is coming in just a few short hours!

Tomorrow is Externship, and I always look forward to that day. It is full of busyness and lots of chatting with people. A lot of challenges are in store and that is what makes the day go quickly.

Sunday a storm is suppose to roll in, and if it does, I don't know if Monday will be a day that we can get out or not. Forcast is saying 6+ inches to come our way. Time will tell!!! Would be nice to get a day off and get some more home work done!! But I may not get that lucky.

Birkey is this weekend. 9000 skiers RSVPed and the expected peoples in town is 30,000 more then what is already here. We  locals are thinking of going on a trip this weekend. Just to many people around for our liking!! I on the other hand am working!! So I will just become a tourist so I can deal!!  Life is fun!!

Better get off to some la la land so I can have fun tomorrow!!

Good night all!! Sleep well!
