Guilty!

Well, Gayle, I'm guilty as charged. I promised an update on Monday and completely neglected blogger.

I can't seem to get a grasp on my new position, in terms of time management. I've never had a job where I've had to leave projects undone until the next day. I've learned that recruiting is an ongoing process. Here are some other things I've learned about recruiting:

1) I will rarely reach someone on the first try.
2) People will be rude, even when I'm calling to offer them a job.
3) Trying to keep up with 50-100 people at one time can be challenging.
4) I have to be aggressive.
5) I will be exhausted after conducting 8 interviews in one day.
6) I love meeting new people and learning about their backgrounds.
7) I love sharing the business because I believe in the company and its products.
8) I look forward to going to work everyday.
9) It's fun!

On another note, I'd like to congratulate Jennifer and Kenny in expecting their second child and Lori and BSC in having Nate last week. How exciting!

Does anyone else feel that EVERYONE is married and having children? Donny and I celebrated our 2-year (dating) anniversary yesterday but are not anywhere near getting married or having children. I would have never thought that I would be 25 and unmarried. I do NOT have a timeline like Lisa on The Bachelor, but when I was in High School, 25 seemed old. Now that I'm 25, it doesn't feel that way. I'm not in any hurry, but it's hard not to be envious of my friends that have already begun their families.

P.S. I am STILL looking for a roommate. If you know of anyone moving to/relocating in Fort Worth, please e-mail or call me.

I hope work gets easier for you and I am glad you are happy there! Why are you looking for a roommate? I'm confused...

If you can wait until April, I might be interested in living together. Let's talk!

Gayle, that sounds great! I'm sure I can hold out a couple of more months.

Jennifer, either Brette is going to have to move into my room or move out. I'm still not getting any help on the bills.
