Sorry I haven’t commented on your blogs. Been super busy. This is the first time I’ve had more than 30 minutes free since my last post :D
CP12 has been sucking my time at work and the show has been sucking it at home.
We need to take 12 days of leader led classes next year to prepare for a possible strike. Last time we only had 7 days and that was difficult to plan. We’re supposed to choose the cheapest option, but at&t has the absolute worst booking system and it’s been pretty impossible actually to tell what’s cheaper. Right now we signed up for everything in Florida. My gut tells me to stick with that. There are cheaper hotels in NC, but the reviews mention hearing gunshots and the nicer hotels are more expensive than the gunshot-less ones in FL. Then half of our group wants to take back-to-back classes and the other half doesn’t since it’s a long time to be away… Guess who’s been organizing all of this :)
The Halloween party at home a success. The one at work wasn’t very popular. I won my own costume contest :( The coffee break event we had after the CP12 FAQ session turned out much better as there were already about 100 people in the room. I think we need another FAQ question. The rules about when we get paid for overtime and when we don’t while traveling are really convoluted. I am going to get paid at least some overtime because we have to take at least once class and travel over the weekend, yay. Unless…
I get promoted first. It’s unlikely, but there’s an open position as one of the managers was just promoted, to be our new manager actually. This was just announced today and right away people are telling me I should apply :-/ She managed the new people though, so I don’t know how that would work. And I’m sure there’s other people who would be interested too. And then there’s all the A&D managers who say how terrible it is. We’ll see.
There was also some exciting news from one of my friends at work today :) Doubt she wants me to blab all over the internet though.
Happy day. And I didn’t have rehearsal, hence the blogging. I have all my lines memorized, but need to work on saying them at the right time and at a reasonable speed. I’m fine in the shower, but I get nervous in front of people :-/ Why I much prefer singing in public rather than speaking.
You should apply! :P Haha. If you really want to I mean. It’s really awesome that you really love what you do. :)
Hehe, I haven’t done public speaking in such a loong time! I think I’d get nervous in front of people too… :( Good luck with it, though! I’m sure it’ll be okay! :)
I totally thing that would be awesome if you got promoted!! You should apply if the positions opens :) You rock. I know what you mean being so busy. Life gets in the way sometimes LOL
You should totally apply for that position! :D
Good luck planning those classes. They sound like a pain in the butt. I’d definitely go with the safer options, too.
I wouldn’t feel comfortable in a hotel where you’ll hear gunshots at night XD I’d go for the safer options, too.
You won your own contest? Some people didn’t try hard enough… grr!
I think you should apply. Give it a shot, you don’t really have anything to lose do you? You’ll not even have a chance if you don’t. :)
I feel awkward singing in public. I don’t mind people hearing me if it’s a huge crowd and I can’t tell who’s there – but back in high school I shook with every performance because there were only about ten people and I could see all of their watchful eyes on me. Dx
“you don’t really have anything to lose do you” my time, my sanity. it’s not a very good job
I’m not much of a public speaker though I think I chose the wrong field since I have to be presenting all the time -__-
It’s your decision. But if you think you’ll regret not applying, I think you should apply. :)
