The past two days have been very frustrating. I hate not knowing what I’m doing.  Yesterday my business  manger was at the store I was training at, doing their audit and my team leader was off.  So I was not able to ask questions.  Today the team leader was off again and our store was having it’s audit so there for my manager wasn’t easy to get to.  I organized my file cabinet and I’m not sure if that is right.  I also made a couple of calls. Supposedly next week my manager will be able to get with me so I can really start doing my job.  I’m afraid.

I am so TREMENDOUSLY proud of my sister.   She is the business off team leader.   Basically in charge of all the money and accounting for the store.  She is always being asked to take a mangager’s position, but turns it down because she doesn’t want the hassle.  Today she was told to start finding her replacement.  She is being offered a new position.  Assistant to the director of operations for our region.  How awesome is that??? This she will take.  She gets to  move up pretty high in the company while skipping the posistions she loathes.  The hours will be great and the money even greater. She is amazing.  Makes me feel like crap though. I have to live up to her and I won’t. Anyway, this is a girl that failed ninth grade twice and then quit HS.  She just needed the right enviornment. She’s moving up in the company, going to school and hasn’t started smoking again. She is a very giving and caring person too.  I would give anything if she just knew how wonderful she is.

Tomorrow morning we’re going to pick up our second car.  We’re buying it from my business manager.  We’re also going to look at a house for rent that’s way beyond our means and the going to a school’s holiday bazaar. Sunday, we’re going to see what this Dinosaur State Park is.  Hopefully something interesting.

I’m leaning how to talk up here.  Seems the things to say are:  awesome, nice and  all set.  That’s the one that gets me.  You finish helping someone "You’re  all set".  Tonight at the restaurant the hostess got the menus and turned to take us to our table and said "you’re all set".  These people up here are very interesting to me.

The friend has been writing a lot about his  fiance’ on his medical site.  Good for him.

I guess that’s about it for now.  I’m not into writing often anymore.  I hate typing on the hubby’s laptop.

Bye.
