I <3 Volunteering

Today, I saw the results of great generosity. A local gym chain held a food drive for a local women's shelter, and the result was probably close to a ton of food (literally). I went with my grandmother to sort through everything, and I was positively amazed at the amount of food that they have now. Unfortunately, they have so many women and children in need of refuge, they go through a lot of food, so this big donation won't last too long.

I am glad that I was able to help today, the people that run the shelter are wonderful.

Work Work

Overtime at White Castle this week, next week, and probably the week after. Promotion in less than a month.

Consulting business is taking off faster than I had planned.

This is not good for my social life, but I'M LOVIN IT!!

Business

I was blog surfing, and from http://dexandbirdieyager.blogharbor.com/, I found these business pointers from Jack Welch.

Control your destiny or someone else will.
Face reality as it is—not as it was, and not as you wish it were.
Be candid, up-front, and totally honest with everyone.
Don’t "manage" people. Lead by example.
Change before you’re forced to. Be in control of the change and the pace of change.
If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete. Either get a competitive advantage or get out of the game.

randomness

I am really starting to settle in to living at home. I am getting more comfortable with my hectic schedule, and I am rebuilding my life.

Work at White Castle has reached routine status. Even though the hours I spend in the building vary, the work is mostly the same.

My business is steadily getting better, and hopefully by the end of the week, I will be an Apple Agent! I can't wait to do this full time.

I have reconnected with some of my High School friends. I can't wait to spend some more time with them....it has been way too long.

I just downloaded the Ghost Buster's soundtrack from the iTunes Music Store....how is that for random and corny?

As with everything that I do, I am keeping the following quote in mind. "Success is the progressive realization of worthwhile dreams" - Dexter Yager

yay!

Sometimes life throws you a little happy moment in the form of relief. A girl at work who I was at odds with (she broke the rules, I enforce) pretty much fired herself by calling off one day, and simply not showing up the next. In White Castle's book, she just resigned.

I probably should not be happy that this person is not working now, but hey, it'll make my days a lot easier.
