So today is another changing day, a positive one, and even better yet, its Friday! And with this Friday comes a weekend to spend time with my son. Nothing special planned except being able to spend the entire weekend with the person that has changed me the most.
People say it all of the time, things come when you least expect them. Its when you don't want a relationship that you find the perfect match. Well, my relationship with one of my jobs was fading. When I started, I was looking forward to going every day, and then thing began to fade for various reaon. I began to see the true faces of some co-workers, my hours declined because I tarted school, and I wasn't getting to see a ton of my son, and it was killing me. And then about a month ago, I switched my hours so that I work almost all morning hours, and am finished by noon or the latest 2pm. And since switching my hours I have been working a lot with our manager, very closely. We've also hired a few more people as we've had several of the people that were there when I started leave. My hours had been cut and I was struggling to make ends meet and struggling to be able to afford my health insurance for my son and I. I have been in the past month contemplating giving up my insurance so that I could make my bills each month. And then I started work this week and things looked grim, I had barely enough hours to make insurance payments, my hours next week are even less than they were this week. And I came home on Tuesday with the thought that maybe I need to change jobs, and it would be back to not spending time with my son, which I don't want at all.
And then I opened this morning with my boss, and she asked me to watch over a new co-worker to ensure that he was ready to be certified soon. And although I made several mistakes, I learned so much more. I am not passionate about my job, its a step to my goal, and allows me to pay my bills, and in no way do I plan on working there forever, which isn't very surprising for the job at all. But I love to work and perform to the best of my ability. I love to learn as much as I can about as many things as I can from who I can, because at the end of the day, those things I learn will only help me in other ways to achieve my ultimate goals. SO... anyway, the manager watched me closely, correcting my mistakes, but also encouraging me. And then she asked if I was interested in becoming certified to become a trainer. I am not sure its more pay, and I would have to take a training course, which means its more work on top of my 2 job, and full time school schedule, and being mom to my rumbustious 3 year old, but I also know that doing sso will lead to bigger and better things. Over the next few weeks I will be working to ensure that my work is clean and crisp, and that I know as much as I can, and learn as much as I can so I can become a trainer, and maybe a supervisor.
So there it is, another of my many changing days to come. I feel like an toddler learning to walk - one foot in front of the other, with so much room to grow.
