Now that I have gotten past the grief from the previous two weeks, I have something good to report. Remember how I mentioned that I ended up landing a new job with Cox Communications back on the 13th last month? Cox has been FANTASTIC!!! While the work load is getting a bit more challenging, the feel of the place never leaves. I mean you can have the day from hell before you walk in the door, and all of that is gone in an instant. The people are amazing and so genuine, and the company itself treats all of their employees like royalty. I got a taste of that yesterday when they decided to let our class leave earlier because of the weather. Most of the jobs I've held only let us get out if it was really bad as in a hurricane coming. Other than that, we never had a chance to leave. Just for us to be safe, they ordered lunch today and yesterday for the employees so that way, they wouldn't have to travel out into the weather since we had sleet and ice most of the day here.
My overall experience, by far, has been a great one! Our training class is like a family, and it's only been three weeks into the job. We tend to have a lot of fun, but we get the work done and learn that's for sure. The trainer...a riot (in a good way)! She will have us laughing so hard about ourselves and the things she's seen within the company and then some. I don't think learning has been more fun since I graduated! Even training for the last job wasn't as great as this one has been! I really hope that I will be able to stick around for as long as I can with Cox because they have the total package when it comes to benefits, perks, and more. If I can stay on for a year or more, I am looking to work in Productions since they have their own TV station. I just hope that with this job period, I will be able to move up because I have always been strong willed and determined to make it in this world, no matter what all I had to do to get where I want and need to be in life. On top of other things, I can honestly say that I am HAPPY! I haven't smiled this much in a long time, and I thank God for second chances so that I can smile and have my joy. Even the littlest things bring me joy but even moreso as an adult. As Annie would say, "I think I'm gonna like it here!"
