Announcment

I was planning on announcing this on my blog sooner and now that I'm getting requests to update... I am here to announce my promotion!!! Yea me!!!

So here's the back story for those don't know. I started working for Datacore Marketing about a year ago as a temp and was later hired on full time after the "trial time" was up. So from February to April I was a temp. They hired me as just a data entry person and about a month later they promoted me to what used to be a program specialists now a team lead, which amounts to just under management. I was a program specialist from end of May/start of June up to about a week ago. On Monday I was promoted to supervisor. For the first time I am not an hourly paid employee, I have good benefits, I got a pay raise, they feed me breakfast every other Friday... I will have to say this about Datacore, they recognize hard workers and they reward them for it. That works for me. I have always believed that it is a privilege to work and should be treated as such, and so I work hard and am very loyal. Needless to say, they like me.

I have now been a supervisor for a full week and am loving every minute of it. I will have to admit that I keep thinking about Truman with his "The Buck Stops Here" sign that was on his desk. I've been trying to think along those lines cause normally I'm happy to pass on the responsiblity to someone else so it has and will continue to be interesting to see how well I do in this position. I can already tell that I've started to "blossom" in my outgoingness. So for those that didn't know, now you do. Oh and today they moved me to my new desk. It's still the same size, I'm just on the end of the isle now instead of mingled and lost. My department is moving this year because my company has outgrown our current office so when we do move I'll get a bigger desk and a new chair to go with that new desk. :) I'm excited. Sorry I didn't post this earlier, I've been busy... and tired.

On a different note, I'm almost finished with my scarf. It's about 60 inches now. It was a rough beginning but now, oh boy, watch out. Anyone got any ideas what I should make next?
