Change is to birds as singing is to karey - Often!!

Haha, I hope Karey appreciates the little tribute I have made re: her karey-oke confession. Since my last confession, I mean post, I have gone to the driving range with Robert Mowat (possibly related to farley). Everything was dutch so don't you all get any funny ideas. It was a good time except for his attempt at trying to give me golf tips. Why do guys think that because I am a girl and am not a pro-golfer must mean that I really want their advice on how to improve my swing? I can safely say that out of 60 golf balls, I had only sliced about 2o of them. I heard him say, I want to see you swing...I turned around and said, what are you doing? then he restated what he said and let me tell you, first strike flashed before my eyes. When I swung and hit the ball, he said, wow, that's straight. After that, he just focussed on his own swing. Sheesh!

On Monday, Nikki and I spontaneously went down to visit jenn. I was having jenn withdrawals
:( I love visiting her and her girls! Abbey is talking up a storm and loves saying my name because its Barbi. I had called on Sunday and was speaking to her on the phone so she could tell me all about her ear piercing. Apparently, someone told her Barbie was on the phone and she thought that she was speaking to the doll "barbie". While we were at the dinner table on Monday, she exclaimed, "You're barbie!" and I said yes, that's me. Now she always says to me "Hi Barbie" and waves to me. So CUTE!! Visiting Jenn is an event. I say that because we told them we had to go at about tenish and by 12:45 we were finally in the car saying goodbye. I love it! I love visiting with her and klif. Thanks Nikki for indulging my whim!

Tuesday an internal job posting went up around the office for a Level 3 Commercial Loan officerand all full-time and part-time/casual staff could apply. This meant that if accepted then you would move to across the hall and be working with a whole new team doing entirely different work. I thought nothing of it because I was not really interested in moving but it would be an opportunity to move from casual status to Full-time status. My team leader came up to my desk later int he day and asked if i noticed the posting and then said that if I was interested to let her know. She said that this would be a good way to gain full-time status. So I said I would think about it. I discussed it with my co-worker who sits across from me and she said go for it, so I told my team leader that i was interested. We went into an office to discuss my qualifications and she said that she would put a reference in for me and stated that getting this position would be really good for me because they are finished with their cut-backs over in the commercial area and in our area they weren't. Also, who knew when a full-time position would open up in CAS (where I work now). She is really rooting for me to get this job and it gave me some confidence to hkeep going in my application process. She told me that if it comes to the point that I get to the interview process then she will go over the questions with me so that I will be prepared going in. What a great leader! So, who knows if I'll get the job but at least I know that my supervisor has confidence in me. By the way, I am a Level 3 Credit Administration Officer right now so I wouldn't be changing levels.

Well, how did I do at boring you? I'll try harder next time!
