New Job!
Aug 31, 2011
Sorry I haven't been a very good online friend lately. Im enjoying my new life after surgery. Im feeling good, and doing good and people tell me Im looking good. Overall, I guess Im good! lolI have so much going on right now. Kids are back in school (thank God!) and I am working diligently on my 20th high school reunion. Only thing I can equate this with is doing the event planning for a big wedding or something. (I got married at my parents home with about 15 people in attendance) I wasnt class president or anything, just no one else would step up to do it and I took on the challenge from Hell. lol I am looking forward to it and cant wait to see all my old friends.
Ive also taken on another challenge. My friend, (also named Carol) and I have started a Charity Concert to be held once a year on Labor Day weekend to benefit area charities. This years event is going to benefit the LifeSavers. We are having a concert with area musicians and they are playing 70's music and its in a Woodstockish theme. I have tie dyed so many table cloths that I think Im gonna die! We have sold raffle tix and are gonna do 50/50 drawings and silent auctions at the concert. Check it out if you get a chance. Im really proud of it. www.southernstockconcert.com We would love to eventually have it be a full weekend festival of music just like Woodstock was. I think we have sold over 400 tix as of today and more is to be on sale the night of concert this Friday. We hope to get bigger and bigger each year. We already booked the venue for next year. :) Im excited!!
The most important thing going on with me is my new job!!! My daughter and I went to her school orientation the other night and I ran into a lady that I used to work with at my last job. She asked me if I was working and I told her that I was not, and that I had been sick and hadnt worked in a year. She said she had the perfect job for me if I was interested. I told her that if its the perfect job, of course I was interested! lol The boss called me the next day (on a Friday) and set up an interview on Saturday. I figured I had the job in the bag if she wanted me to come in on a Saturday. I went to interview and 2 hours later I had the job! Started that Monday. Im in my 3rd week at the place and I LOVE IT!! Im the office manager for a DUI evaluation center. We offer Dui Evals and Outpatient Treatment. Treatment for alcohol and drug addiction. Interesting job and something I really believe in. My goal is to go back to school and get my certificate to be able to do evaluations and treatment. My boss (who is wonderful!) said shes going to help me and let me work while I do it. I cant wait to get started!! Well, enough of my rant. Just wanted to let my friends know whats going on with me. I would love to hear from you all sometime. Throw me a line and I will see you in chat soon. ~Carol
