I haven’t posted in a while, and that’s because I’ve been super hella freaking busy. At work, I’ve been trying to bring on 3, now 4 new people. So there have been tons of hours spent reading resumes, scheduling interviews, and performing interviews. I’ve hired 2 people so far and have an interview today that I hope works out well… but even if it does, I’ll still need to keep looking to find a 4th person. These are all Software Trainers that I’m bringing aboard for my department, since I lost 2 people at the beginning of January and since our projected sales for this year are through the roof. LOTS to do there – working on revamping the way that we train and implement and trying to bring some order to the chaos. Oh, and bringing new staff on is great, but it’s also super hella exhausting and so far I’ve been pawning off a lot of the training of the first new person who started to other people on my team, but next week I’ll go real hands on so I’m expecting to be exhausted every day.
The other thing that I’ve been up to outside of work is house hunting! This part is fun, but it’s also really stressful. We’re first time home buyers so everything about this process is new to us and buying a house, with the financial commitment and all of the unknowns is scary. I’ll have to write an entire series of posts dedicated to all that, but for now here’s a widget from my Evernote notebook with the houses that we’ve decided deserve a second look:
Exciting. Scary. Stressful. All of that.
Upcoming events: next Saturday, March 7th, we’ll be going to see Enter the Haggis at Revolution Hall in Troy. I’m really excited for that show because I’ve had us on “going out and spending money lockdown” for the past couple of months and this will be our first “big night out” in a while. The weekend after that is St Patrick’s Parade weekend, but Alex is on call for that weekend so we may not be going out (which suits me fine because I’m old and would rather not spend the money). The weekend after that, we’ll be in Dubai! Yep, we’re going to visit the family in 3 weeks – we leave the evening of the 19th and get back the afternoon of the 29th. Very exciting!! I just got my passport back in the mail after sending it out (very late) to get my name changed. It only took 2 weeks to get it back (thank God)!
I must end this post NOW because what I SHOULD be up to right now is taking a shower and getting ready for work because it’s Friday!
