New Job and Perks


The HTC EVO
One of the many perks of my new job is getting to play with phones like this while I am supposed to be learning how to trouble shoot Sprint phones.
Two weeks ago I interview and was offered a job at ACS as a customer service agent for their Sprint campaign. ACS is a Fortune 500 company that is part of the Xerox corporation. As a part of the Sprint campaign I will be trouble shooting all Sprint phones and devices. Which also means great savings on Sprint plans and phones. As a non-Sprint person I was like what can I do with this. I found out I also get discounts with Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobil. How cool is that? The perks keep going and going. Right now I am in training in a class for 32 days. Then I will be out on the floor trouble shooting in another type of training for 60 days. ACS really wants to make sure we have the best training possible so that we will succeed. The only somewhat bad part about the job is the hours, 3pm-12am.

Back in the Swing of Things

I feel like life is coming back together for me. I start working as a customer service agent at ACS on Monday. I'll be working 40 hours a week. The other great thing is I am going to be getting back into the ministry as a volunteer. My churches youth group has asked me to step up and help out. This is very exciting for me as I already love the youth I have meet and have missed being in ministry.

Last Vacation For A While

This past weekend I got to spend some amazing time at my parents new beach house. My mom and I took off early Saturday morning for Topsail Island on the coast of North Carolina. We spent the morning cleaning the house and then headed out the back door to our beach yard. Yes our back yard at the house is the beach. Gotta love hearing the waves at all times. As we sat, swam, and sunned I began to just enjoy the fact that this was my place. I have always loved the beach and enjoyed going with family, friends, and church groups over the years. Now I have a place that I can go to any time I want, when it is not rented.

I have claimed a room at the house as my own. It is full of light houses. For me I have always thought of light houses as a symbol of God. Lighting our way to the safe places and guiding us on our way.

OK so back to the beach part. On the beach in front of our place is a turtle nest! We will be having baby turtles sometime in the middle of September. Sadly I will not be able to be there. I got a new job last week at a call center doing customer service. I don't have two days in a row off unless I take a day off. So this weekend was my last real vacation for a while. I found out that the crabs will eat the turtle eggs. It made me sad. Then Rocky started chasing the crabs all over the beach. I told him he is now on baby turtle nest security.

Sunday a family friend and our vet brought her kids out and we flew kites. I have not done that since I was probably 8 years old. It was so much fun, but my bright red legs are now telling me I should have reapplied more often. We went to eat and then just hung out the rest of the night. Mom and I headed home around 5 am today. I am going to miss the beach.

Theam Song

The past few week, day, well months I have been feeling so defeated. I decided I needed a theam song to make me feel better. So here it is. I will keep going and God will get me through this.
