Gosh this week has been SO great but busy as well! But I love staying busy and the feeling of accomplishment that comes with a job well done! Before I get to my new job, here are a few pictures from the week.

 

My first day of work- 8′ish- my work hours are 8:30-5:00

 

I made some organic black tea for the mornings w/stevia, raw honey, cinnamon, organic milk- so good, I will definitely be having this every morning

 

Thursday- I filled out my “official” application even though, technically I was already hired I also filled out my w-2’s.

 

It was fun getting dressed up to go to work- Friday = Jeans day!! (The house is under construction so excuse the extention cord, etc.)

 

At my desk- I love all of the space that I have to stretch out

 

I watched some Tutorials on the new Hawksoft Program so I could get ahead of the game- I actually love this program. I’m a total nerd- I get excited by well organized computer programs

 

I brought my green protein smoothies to work to make sure to get in all of my nutrients

 

So about my new job, I absolutely LOVE it!! My boss, Jimmy, is so nice- he offered me awesome pay, holidays, 3 weeks paid vacay, he will pay for me to go back to college to get my Sub-agent’s license and even let me know that I would be offered incentives on a job well done (my sister is going on a paid Disney Vacation for her whole family- including the Polynesian Lodge + a cruise next week!) That’s definitely an incentive! We also get free bottled spring water- we can bring home a case or two each week, which is awesome seeing how me & the hubby drink alot of water. I also love how we can take a leisurely lunch and don’t have to clock in/out- I used to work underneath bosses that ”clock watch” and it’s so frustrating to be treated like a child. I actually worked late for both days so it’s not a big deal if I have an extra 5 minutes on lunch or whatever. Also, the other girl pretty much quit today and is not coming in at all- so I am kind of nervous as it is all being left on me! eek! I did take a couple of customers payments today and learned how to look them up in our new File Management Program & also pay their bill online- so that is a good start! I am already on the boss’s good side- he said that he loves how organized & efficient I am- and he also said I was catching on fast- this Insurance business is no joke- I seriously have to stay focused! I do have to say the job is really busy, but I like it that way because it makes the day go by faster and I have less time to stress about the house remodel and instead I can focus on work. Today, I cleaned up my office space/desk and got everything organized- seriously, I am an organizational freak, but I have it just the way that I like it now We should be designing/ordering my business cards next week as well as my name plaque for my desk- I have a few things from home that I want to bring to the office on Monday to make my office space look fabulous! I will take pictures once I get it the way that I like

 

Oh, and on Fridays, we get to leave at 4:00- love it! My sister, Shelly wanted to take me to Publix so we could do some shopping & test out this coupon thing that my other sister told her about. Apparentally, you can “stack” coupons- you can go to www.southernsavers.com and find all of the deals going on at different places- we went under Publix weekly ad for their deals. I’m so excited to try this out- my one sister that does this saves tons of money by doing this!

 

This is my older sister Shelly (the one that I work with now & also we “kissed & made up” this year- we are like besties now!!) That is her loot from Publix-she had a rebate for $7 back for buying those Pepsis + they were on sale for like 4 for $10, so she got an awesome deal!

 

My sister snapped a picture of me on the cell phone - I was talking to my hubby We met up with him afterwards at Sam’s Club.

 

I got a few items- several coupons were used. I had $1 off since I bought $5 worth of produce. I also had $1 off of my deli turkey since I bought 1 bag of Stacy’s chips. Amy’s pizza was free from winning Kristin’s Giveaway.

 

I had to replenish my organic eggs & yogurt and finally got some cottage cheese for extra protein The TGI Fridays were on sale 2 for $3.59 plus I had $1.50 coupon off so they were pretty much $1 per box- what a steal! I think may become the coupon queen!

 

More deals- Avocados .50 cents each! Seattles Best- $5.99, pickles B1G1 $2.79 for both, organic mustard $1.79 each- I love mustard on my sandwiches

 

After all of that shopping, the hubby and I went to Moes to grab a bite to eat- we had a “casual” date night We split this Homewrecker burrito at Moes- so good!

 

After checking out the goods at Target & leaving with just a sweatshirt, we got a Tall Verona Coffee (they freshly brewed it for me- I can’t stand coffee that is older than 25 minutes- anyone with me?) It was so good- me and the hubby shared it and walked around the park chatting. It was nice out- so happy that we picked up that sweatshirt from Target!

 

The hubby stopped by his office on the way home to grab these cookies that Mom bought for me- they are made from freshly ground wheat, cane sugar, sunflower seeds, etc. We shared one- it was perfect along with our coffee

 

Wow, this week has been crazy and fun! I still can’t believe that I have a new job! I guess I need to get to bed soon, we plan on waking up early to go work out at the gym and then get started working on the house remodel, so I need to catch some zzz’s!!
