Or rather, I'm getting better. . . er... I mean, I will be getting better at posting here. I promise. I've been a little bit busy here being a "Big kid" and doing the training for the new hires at work. It's a lot of stress but it's a huge opportunity for me and I'm really loving it. It's challenging work and while most of the content of what I'm teaching is the same, it's never the same trying to teach it to a different group of people all the time. The good news is, they're "geeks" or.. techies, if you want to be specific about it. This means a few things; first of all, they get my off-the-wall humor most of the time, and even when they don't they just laugh AT me. I can totally handle this. Secondly, I can make references to things that they DO understand (and that I do too) so that they can get what I'm saying. Lastly, it means that I have to be on my toes as far as the second week of training goes, as that's when it gets into the really technical stuff that I wasn't 100% on when I came in. But they're helping me learn a lot.
So, basically, I've got a grown-up job at the moment and I'm loving every minute of it. I really hope that I do well enough to keep this position, as I'm not sure I could handle going back to the phones after this sweet, sweet paradise that training has provided me.
As far as other things go, I'm winding down in school - that is to say, theoretically I should be done in October ready to walk at graduation. I'm going to do that in Arizona, as it's the closest OU location and c'mon.. I've got friends in AZ that I'm sure would love to help me celebrate.
Also, I'm starting to get crafty again in my sparse free time. I picked up a wooden trunk (Small... so, more like a box) this week and stained and painted it. From a few pictures on facebook, now I've got people wanting me to paint other things for them. Must be I don't suck. Also, I've posted a few things of my chainmail on Etsy.com. . . and plan to post some of Kobold's leather stuffed animals, maybe some other bits-n-pieces. Kobold has taken to breaking apart/burning/shaping old silverware into jewelry and it looks pretty darned good. I keep getting asked where I get my jewelry and I tell them that for a low, low price they could have one too! Look at me be entrepreneurial! Look at me spell entrepreneurial!
