Meet Rosey!

I never thought I would love 2 am so much as I do when I hear a little bark or howl from the crate that sits close to my bed.

Rosey came into me and my brothers life in a wonderful and unexpected way. We have been looking for a rescue dog for about two months now and David just could not get over wanting a Bernese Mountain Dog. We found two other rescue ones before Rosey but they both fell through. Two weeks ago a person from the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of the Blue Ridge Mountains sent out a plee for a home for a 8 week old puppy. Rosey needed a home with no stairs and a back yard where she can play and run and be safe. She has what is call hip Dyspepsia.

So here we are two weeks later with 8 week old Rosey being the love of our lives. She is funny, sweet, and has her own little personality.

For Realz

First off Happy Wear a Dress Voting Day!

So for the past month I have been working towards becoming a full agent at my job. After fighting myself on learning to sell things over the phone I am coming out of my month of learning lab. What is amazing about this for me is that I am not only graduating for a full agent, but I will get a $140 bonus this month for my sales and my customer service!!! For Real I have made it and I am getting extra.

As I got all excited about it this weekend someone of my friends call me out on the way I say "for real." Apparently it comes out "For Realz!" I laughed my butt off as they then began to quote the section at the beginning of the I like Big Butts song. To make you see how funny this is, the people doing it are guys. Not only just guys but guys who are all about being manly and big and bad. It cracked me up to no end. They called me a total valley girl and I could not believe how funny I thought it all was.

So Like Totally For Realz I Graduated!

Working Woes

Well I made it. I am not working on the floor as a Sprint Teach Support Service Specialist. Needless to say I am still in training just a different type. Learning Lab is a place where new agents work and have a little extra support. This may sound good, but here are my woes.

I have a new Supervisor. She is kind of crazy. She wants us to graduate Learning Lab by the 15th, of this month! Learning Lab is a 30 day process and that is only 15 days. Second if sales scores are not above red by next week I'll get written up. Sales is not our number 1 or 2 priority. The worse of all is my new schedule lets me spend zero time with family and friends. I work 2pm-10:30 get home and try to unwind which takes a few hours and then sleep 8 or 9 hours a night. Thus I get up shower get a few things done and go back to work.


However, there are a few good things. I have 100% IR, customer service and I earned 50 sales points last night.

Almost There!

First off happy WDT everyone!


Since August 23rd I have been in training for my new job as Sprint Technical Support. This has been trying as I have had to sit in a classroom for around 8 hours a day. To make matters worse I have the same trainer for all 8 hours, but they did change trainers on us two weeks ago, which is good and bad. So I have 4 more days of training to go. Saturday I start the first part of my job on the floor. I am so excited to move on to the next phase of this job. To make this transition even better, my new trainer has recommended me to become a trainer or mentor to new people!


OK my other almost there moment is I will finally get a new phone tomorrow. I have hit my 2 year mark and am eligible for a new phone if I sign on with Verizon again. I know I know I work for Sprint, but not really. I work for a company called ACS and I get the same discount with Verizon as Sprint and I like Verizon. So Tomorrow I get to go to the store and pick out a brand new phone, I am thinking the LG Android phone.

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.
