Work

cool eh? Things have been going pretty great at work. I was paid to drive an hour to Lexington to train some people at a different company. I was in training myself for 2 weeks and will be sitting with someone for another 2 weeks learning what my job role will be. I did find out that my job is going to be too tough for me to do some work myself, so I will have to have someone to do some work for me, almost like having someone working for me, but not really.

I didn't recieve my salary pay on my last paycheck so I inquired about it and they will fix it on Friday. So with my new pay added to the difference between my new pay and what I was paid last, plus the reimbursement for going to Lexington should yield a pretty nice check, though rent and car payments will surely take a lot away.

We got a nice hookup from our friend Zack. He stopped by on Friday and hung out for a while, it was his first visit to our new apartment. He keeps raving about our last one, how it was so convenient for him to stop by then, which it was. But hey, sometimes you have to sacrifice seeing people all the time for a little central air/heating and cable.

I bought Bo Bice's first solo CD, produced by Clive Davis and it really isn't that great. I'm a big fan of my boy Bo, but I'm sure music that he writes himself will be better than stuff that is written for him to sing, that's just how it goes.

So I'd like to say a big F*ck Yeah to the Steelers for being the first #6 ranked team to make it to the AFC championship game. They knocked off the Colts like it was their job and they are currently, even as I type, kicking the crap about the Broncos too, so I say to the NFC: Watch your asses! Go frigging Big Ben, go Miami, go Steelers, go Cards, go Bettis, go Polamalu!

smile Lots of things have happened at work. I had to train new employees on their first day doing live claims. I was expecting someone to train me on what I'm going to be doing, but instead I was the one doing the training. I saw a major improvement in the new adjusters even after just 1 day. Now a few of those people are working with me and they don't really have many questions at all, so that means we did our jobs and trained them well.

We ate at the Galt House on Friday and it was pretty nice.

New Year's came and went again without a bang. Kiley and I had mimosas (I don't know how you spell it). We had some expensive champagne but it really wasn't much better than the cheap stuff. It didn't taste as good but I think I had more of a buzz of the good stuff. The Stellers are in the playoffs so hopefully I will get to actually watch a game they are playing. So far I have missed the last 2 games because they decide to show the Bengals games instead.
