javamonkey insights into the world of caffeinated monkeys

Thursday, December 08, 2005   As Promised...Because It's Not 2 AM Yes, Audrey, I am alive and well and I did write something on my blog to indicate such things for you. :) The work update: I've been office manager at Bassett for almost a month now. I think I'm finally settling into the position. I realized that I was never shown how to use the factory's system to check on orders, check inventory, and other useful things; I've finally gotten that remedied. I also realize that the girl who was in this position before me wasn't used to working--she's in the purchasing position at work and is a nightmare. She doesn't enter orders with the factory in a prompt manner, she doesn't respond to email, she doesn't know how to fix a lot of stuff--she causes me a lot of headaches. At least I'm doing my job and doing it well. In more positive job news, I got paid to do some Christmas shopping yesterday. I had to go to Target for tissues, water, soda, and ice melt for the office; I took advantage of the situation to buy gift boxes and tissue paper and presents for people. The Ian update: Things with Ian are going incredibly well. He is absolutely wonderful to be with. We spend quite a bit of time together and it's awesome. He's just wonderful; I'm at a loss for words to describe how great it is to be dating him. The apartment hunt update: It's still not a reality that I can afford an apartment. I'm hoping that I can cut my credit card debt in the next 6 months significantly. If I can get to half of what I'm at (hopefully less than that), I'll be able to afford an apartment and move out. That can't happen soon enough. Oh, and a funny story--I mailed out Christmas cards the other day, and I sent one to Ian. He had to work overtime, and part of his overtime was delivering mail near where he lives. He was delivering mail in his neighborhood and realized that he would be delivering his own mail--he had one item to deliver to himself and that was the Christmas card from me. posted by jaime | 4:23 PM 0 comments
