my job is FABOOSH! aka fabulous. i'm really liking the training that i'm going through, no matter how boring and monotonous it seems at times, in the end its pretty interesting. the one i just finished up with and got certified on was for a program called Delphi that is all hotel software. woop woop! everyday i'm learning about the zillions of reports and data that we get back each week. its basically a crash course in business. lets just say overwhelmed is the understatement. but i know its only for now, and once i know it, i know it! you know, positive thinking...pep in my step....go team...etc!
i went to my first meeting the other day by myself. it was with this tourist council for the neighboring city of st joe. WHich by the way, is right on the water in lake michigan...SO GORGEOUS. anyway, back to the meeting, the ladys name was Ty.... she was tots nice. But my boss was supposed to come with me to the meeting, however his daughter was sick so i had to do it alone. Nbd folks, i totally rocked it out. I felt very offish and profesh. OBVI. I asked a zillion questions and the GM from the hampton totally had to borrow my pen. Can we say unprepared? omg. anyway, St Joe itself is like out of a norman rockwell painting. For example, ten minutes of the meeting was devoted to the MAJOR concern that there was a tattoo parlor going in down the street. Honestly, you would have thought the world was ending..... she was UBER worried about the "kinds of people" that the tattoo parlor was going to bring in. They didnt want THOSE kinds of people coming to town and giving off the wrong image. I was seriously trying so hard to keep a straight face. SERIOUSLY? A tattoo parlor? its 2010!
Anyway, so life in south bend is starting to feel more like home, which is nice. The apartment is AHmazing. Thank you mom and dad for all of your contributions and hard work. lets get real i'd still be in boxes if it weren't for you guys. I'll try and post some pictures of the apartment when i get time. SO, besides the apartment, Cristy (lo's bff from college and my new fabulous friend) and I are taking tennis lessons at the South Bend Racquet Club! We go on tuesdays from 6-7 and its SO MUCH! OMG there are two other ladies in our class, and they are both moms...sharon and ummmm...i forget the other ones name but shes hilarious. As Cristy put it, we're all kind of spaz's when the ball comes to us, but we feel that we'll be better after a few more lessons. ALSO like right after our lesson ended, sharon asked us if we wanted to join their summer league in june! how tight is that? She totally saw the serena williams in us. lets call it like it is. Anyway, we said yes and our coach is going to be the guy that gives us lessons! soooo exciting! we're going to bring home the gold. CLEARLY.
Anyway, in other news, the long lost black ann taylor sweater has been found! apparently it was at the dry cleaners under laura's name...random? regardless, PRAISE THE HIGH HEAVENS! i thought it was lost forever.
This weekend i came back to the nob and am currently lounging. loves it.
OKAY leaving you with the picture i took on my phone at the beach in st. joe.
I PROMISE i'll update more again soon. apologies my people.
