Remember Beka...and how she moved to Virginia close to 4 years ago... Well for those of you that are still around and that were around back then, she has started a blog. I have put the link under my friends section, so check it out and all that God is doing in her life. :)

Welcome to our blog world Beka, I miss you!

Spontaneous trip #2 is on it's way.

I accepted another position at my job. This time, I will be a support sales rep on the Marriott account. I have worked on it for the past 6 months anyway (with no s), so I know both the internal people and the clients as well. It's almost a promoted transfer since they are so huge, and I am really excited about it. This choice had no downsides. It sucked though because if I didn't accept the other position, then they wouldn't have known that I was interested in going in this career path and they wouldn't have offered me the position. So, I guess there was a purpose for me accepting the other one. :)

The great part....everyone else that works on this account is in Tampa, FL. They asked me to relocate, but I chose to decline. They are willing to let me stay here without moving, but I will be able to go there for training. A free trip to FL, nope, I definitely couldn't pass that up. A friend from work is going to come with me and we're going to hang out on the weekend as a vacation. I am so excited, I can't believe it. When I told her I was going there, she wanted to go, so we're going. It's going to be so much fun. I kind of need a vacation and just to get away from everything.

You are only cool if you can call from a payphone 4 miles away from where you're going and ask the people at your destination if you are there yet.

I will no longer be an emotional informational slut.

I accepted a new position at work on Friday. I think it was the 2nd option that I mentioned in my other post. After talking to several people about it and having them remind me that I need to make my own decision, I realized that this was the right one. Within this new department's position, I have been told that I will have a future opportunity to work with different people within my future team which would be my "dream position". There comes a time where if you could plan your own job and say "I would want to work with this peron, this person, and this person....but not this person, this person, or this person. I would want to do this, this, and this, without having stress or the problems of this, this, and this." This is basically what I have been given. I couldn't have picked a better opportunity. Granted, this one is months away, but it's coming. I will need practice and training in my first new position before I could be fully effective in this one. I am so excited.

Sometimes it can be really hard to make decisions. I have a lot in front of me right now and they all have some benefits. Here they are:

Option 1

• Work with a sales rep I know and get along with
• Know that he's not shady
• Makes over 65K in GP/month (like this means anything to anyone other than me)
• Don't know the manager
• Kind of know the rest of the team

Option 2

• Work with 2 sales reps that I don't know that well
• Don't know if they're shady
• Make 30K in GP/month, 60K combined
• Manager already loves me
• Know the rest of the team really well, have their support

Option 3

• Work in a different department
• Have a horrible manager
• Ability to use different skills
• Possibility of a higher net pay
• Room for advancement

It's hard to make decisions, but they are all exciting and great opportunities. Please pray that the transition will move well, that my current position will be filled, and that I will know which one to take.
