Life is always changing...especially at work!

It seems my life is always changing. Work has been a total bust recently with all the changes going on.  It is hard to stay positive with all the negative things happening it just plain stinks.  I can't really understand what the company is thinking about except what is normal...the bottom line!  I personally don't have a choice whether I am going to mornings or staying on nights...that is up to the few supervisors ahead of me.  I am not worried either way because I have a plan for whatever happens.  I will know tomorrow if I will be getting up early again or working late.  Now for everyone else it seems that everything has changed entirely.  Almost everyone has a mid shift schedule if they are full time.  Only a few lines are there for night and morning full time people.  It seems part time people made out the best with this new schedule.  I only hope everyone knows that this is all temporary such as everything in life.  I really wish the best for all of my team members at work.  I know everybody has families and issues that come along with them.  I only wish my team member's the best.  With that said I must go now.  Have a great week everyone!

Birthday blast!

Ava's party was this past Sunday and I felt it was a huge success. It was a pool party and every child seemed to love being able to go swimming for a few hours even though it is winter. I am so happy I splurged and got the meeting room instead of the same room we had for Caleb's birthday. We had so many kids come to the party it was definitely loud and insane at times. I am thankful to my sister Rachelle for helping when I was busy with some of the kids. I am grateful for all who came out and celebrated with us. I think this is a party Ava will remember as she gets older. The pool was warm and all of the kids had a blast...I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend and has an enjoyable week of warmth. I saw 60 degrees in the forecast on this Thursday. Hard to believe it is not spring yet! Have a great week everyone!

Learning the bright ideas in life...

Hello everyone,

I am sitting at the gate in MSP(Minneapolis airport). I am awaiting my flight to depart and I am thinking of the past two days and am brought to the understanding that I am not as knowledgable of things as I have thought. It seems there are many other ways to do the same things in the Delta system. I hope that the things I have learned will come in handy and will not hinder me from doing my job efficiently and effectively. I have learned that there is more than just putting in training records while being a Learning Training Administrator(LTA) for Delta. It is just a secondary duty of mine but still I am worried that our station needs a lot of help getting everything back to how it was before... My flight is getting ready to board and I need to put my computer away. But on a side note when I was at the Ramada Inn last night I was in the Hot tub and a group of girls were swimming in the pool next to the hot tub. This guy with tattoos sat down in the hot tub and girls decided to join him and I in the hot tub. They started talking to him and it was as if I was invisible. Two of the girls decided to leave and the third stayed and sat at a table in the pool area. It seemed as if this guy had everything these girls wanted. I decided not to stay and watch this guy have his way with this girl. I guess ultimately I have learned that every person has free will to make choices even if those choices may hurt them. That is enough for now...What is your opinion on free will even if it may hurt the person?

My Daughter is Six...

Happy Birthday to my daughter Ava...She is growing up way to fast and she is turning into a bright young girl of which I am very proud. I want the best for my kids and I hope they know that with sacrifice comes great reward. I hope everyone has a wonderful week! I can't believe it has already been 6 years. What has happened in 6 years for you?

Smile, because you lived to see another day... :)

I woke up this morning wondering what excitement today will bring. I started working nights again and it is definitely different than what I remember. There is down time which I am not used to anymore plus there are people who just don't get what it is like during the morning. I look forward to implementing some new guidelines for us at night to follow in order to become a team of one a again and not split by AM and PM shift. All it will take is an better understanding of pre-planning for the next day. I am going to work with renewed excitement to be working with another supervisor for half my day. Hopefully we can figure out great ideas and make us all a team again.

I guess there won't be anymore propositions from ladies of the night when I am heading to work. That still makes me feel gross that I even rolled down my window. Never again...

I wish everyone a great rest of the week and I hope you all have a renewed hope for what tomorrow brings.

One cold and dirty proposition...

I was driving to work this week at 3:40am on Lincolnway West near Gene's Camera Store...I had to slam on my brakes at a yellow light. I stopped and a woman came up to the window. I thought she maybe needed help with something... She asked me what I was up to. I said I am headed to work. She said "honey, it will only take 5 minutes." I was confused for a second and realized she was a lady of the street...I told her no thanks and was headed on my way. I felt really dirty driving to work. I am happy that is the first time some has ever propositioned me... Glad I made it till I was 30...what a messed up world! On the other hand, I guess even ladies of the night need to make money somehow...

Death and Taxes...

On begin this year on a sad note. My Step grandpa died this past week. He was almost 90 and lived a full life. He was as more a grandpa to me than on my mom or dad's side because I either didn't know them or they died young. The funeral is tomorrow and he is being buried at Fort Custer. I haven't been to to many veteran's funerals but the gun salute always makes you feel proud to be an American. I wish the entire Posthumus family my heart felt condolences. As my title says death and taxes...I filed my taxes super early this year and I am really excited because I am going to pay off debt with my tax money! I am paying off two old National city checking accounts that have been in collections for years and also I am almost done with Sallie Mae...as soon as I get my money 3 will be gone and only one more to go! Which will be paid off sometime this year!!! Since I have turned thirty my life seems to be in a generally positive state even though there is death and sadness in it. I wish everyone the best of luck with your daily routines and don't ever let the grind get you down! Talk to you all soon!
