So let me start off with. I am living a fantastic life that keeps presenting itself with many many opportunities. Hence why I have not had any time to update my website in a while. Sorry but I guess my readers are getting used to that. I don’t know where to begin my success story. Maybe I will just give you the gist of them and hope that you will understand, of course the full blown story would have been a lot more entertaining what with my awesomeness ability to write. mwhahaha
Okay so lets start with one of the topics I talk about most, and that being WORK yeah that’s the lovely 4 letter word that is noticed as a swear word in some households. Lol. Oh well not in my world. My world exists of just work and no play woo for me. Anyways so seeing as I have been working my bum off since I finally re-obtained my job back, it has in a way paid off. I just got a promotion to Service Supervisor. If you go to one of my previous blogs titled “Two Months Delayed…No Excuse” http://ohmicles.wordpress.com/2010/02/06/two-months-delayed-no-excuse/
You can read about the ranking system and where I now stand.
So overall I am very happy with my new job role as well as the pay rise. I am still however ranked as a casual employee which means my premium is higher therefore I am more expensive to hire as a staff member resulting in me not getting as many hours as I would appreciate. Oh well I am appreciative of the opportunity that this job title can give me in the future. After all opportunity is the theme of this blog post right.
Onto number two which still revolves around work. Like i said WORK=My LIFE I entered this competition at the
beginning of the year with the employees Staff website where you go to fill out forms for employee of the month and you do training modules etc. Anyways this one particular competition i entered was a ‘New Ideas’ . What that involved was entering your idea on how to improve the store and its functionality. In the shorter version of the story I entered my idea and I won, I didn’t only win within my store but I won regional! Another Store Manager from NSW had nominated me to win. And I did. So I got to go to this fancy dinner paid by the company and I got to meet all the BIG GUYS. You know the ones you always hear about but you’ve never meet them. So talk about opportunity for some kind of a future with the company, I was very excited indeed. I even got a trophie and flowers. Proud is what I am.
After that I have been studying like a mad hawk. It is so close to the end. In fact I actually handed my last assessment in today! WOO, our college is hosting an exhibition night on Thursday and we have people coming from the industry to visit and see all of our assignments. It is also possible that they will be handing out jobs! So because of my awesomeness I am pretty confident I might be amoungst one of them. It was a funny story actually I was just sitting around in class talking to the people who are organising the whole gig. And they said to me “Oh yeah cause you’re giving the speech on the night aren’t you?!” I looked at them with confusion “What the?, since when?”
the girls replied “well your name is on the board…” so yeah pretty much I have to give the speech on the night because I got nominated by SOMEONE?!? Well overall it turned out to be good! There was about 150 or so people there and I of course didn’t prepare anything and just had to wing it. There was people there with video cameras and photo cameras, it kind of felt a bit like paparazzi. But I didn’t mind, everyone said I did amazing.
Well this is just a quick update, I shall write more when I get home from Yamba !
