Mommy, I want to start school too!

As much as I like my job (really I do!) I feel like I keep hitting a rather large, brick wall. It just feels like, because I am young and look even younger, no one takes me seriously some days. Other days I am fine and am heard and feel like I have an impact and do a good job and all that jazz.

I guess what is boils down to is that when I work on the sales side of things I lose confidence. I don't really like to sell people things and I hate to feel like I am being pushy. I don't want to sell people a product that they may not really even want or have any use for so I don't seem to open as many accounts as some others do. I just suck as a sales person.

I can follow policy and procedure all day long and I am good at that. Once the sale is made and the actual account opening is ready to be done I am fine. I have my set of regulations to follow and viola! Simple.

So this coming to these conclusions over the past year made me think... I should go back to school so that I can advance myself in this company. I love the company I work for and the people here I just am not the best at customer service. I have always wanted to be in accounting, that is the whole reason at 18 I got into banking. I thought that I would get to go back to school way before now but finances and life issues got a little in the way of that goal.

But the putting off ends... well in my mind now but in reality not until the spring semester (hopefully) starts so that I can gather the funds and have plenty of time to enroll and get good classes at the times I want. WOO HOO!

Whore by association

Did you know this was possible? To be a whore but only by association?? Well apparently this is what I am according to Hubs.



See he says that my friends are whores (which they are not, they don't prostitute or sleep around). Yes, they do go out quite often and do hang out or occasionally go on a date with different guys but they are single and can do that! Yes, if I did these things then I guess you could consider me a whore since I am not single. But I don't do this! In fact I have never even "been with" anyone other than Hubs or even been on a date with another guy. I have never even given or taken (OK there was that one time that my mom wrote down this guys phone number for me, but that doesn't count) a phone number!

Anyways, Hubs says that since they are "whores" and I hang out with them I am thus considered to be a whore. I think that this philosophy is very wrong! I think that he is confusing me with himself! Because he is a man whore.

RTT: Hopefully I linked this right

I really want to go on vacation. Very. Badly. I haven't been on a real vacation in probably 2 and a half years. I have taken days off work here and there and done a few weekend trips to not-so-far-away places but I want a real vacation. One where there is a beach or a mountain and lots of stuff to do for a whole week!

All of my friends are moving away! My best friend from high school moved to Connecticut last year, another friend moved to New Jersey a month or so ago and now my best friend since middle school is going to Tennessee in about a month! What is going on?? I am going to be basically all alone. I now have two friends left. I mean I want them to have a good life and do the things that make them happy but good Lord could you not do those things here? And with me?

Oh and by the way I don't make friends very easily. For some reason the female population doesn't take to me too well. I guess I get along better with guys (although this does cause trouble with the husband so I try not to make guy friends) and chicks seem to not like me because of that. Not to mention my trust issues. I keep friends at a distance for a while before I feel like I can trust them and some girls just cant put up with that, I guess. And its not easy to make friends that are single because I am married and have to act like I am. On the other hand all the married ladies don't usually end up as friends because they like to hang out as couples and that's just not how my husband and I work. So good friends are hard to find for me...

I have a bad habit of saying "just kidding" after joking with someone. I know they know I am playing around but for some reason I feel the need to keep saying it. Maybe I say it because I have such a need to please people that I have to make sure they know I am not serious. The most annoying part to me is that most everything I say I'm "just kidding" about so I say this A. LOT. Oh well...

Happy Tuesday!
