I might be going crazy...

All weekend I had anxiety about going back to work today. What was going to happen? What was it going to be like. At 630am right after Ben left for week I started making calls and sending emails to see what today would entail for me.  Around 830am I received a call from Workforce Management they do all of our schedules and things like that. They said to just come in today plan on working my normal schedule and they will get everything else straightened out. I went in at 1130am my regular schedule would have started at noon. I went in and talked to workforce to figure out my login, seat assignment, breaks and lunches and so on. As I'm walking out my manager who I had when I was in the call center said that his manager wanted to speak to us. So we went in his office and he told me I had been terminated and would need to reapply if I wanted to work in the call center. They took my badge and headset and I drove home. What the crap? Am I missing something? So ANGRY right now. Do I want to reapply? Are the benefits really worth it. This is so frusterating.

It's not a huge deal or anything but it kind of is to me. I'm just upset. So I have been loving the new department I was training for at 1800Contacts. I felt like I really understood the material and I got 100% on the first test we took on Tuesday. Yesterday, we took another test and I got 72% the first time and then 76% the second time. You had to get 82%. So I am no longer going to that department. The worst part is the trainer had to make a call to see if I left with good terms in the call center and if not I would have lost my job. I'm so ANGRY! At myself at the company. GRR... I don't want to keep changing jobs but now its kind of embarrassing/humbling to have to back to the call center. Not only that but I'm not the best sales person. It's rough. I love the benefits of the company though I get so much from them. It just really popped my bubble for this to happen. BUT...at least I still have a job right?  I just feel some days like I start getting caught up with life and then I get thrown a curve ball but I guess thats life. Sorry this post is so negative I'm just bummed.

Mothers Day!

Me, Mom, Grandma (My mom's mom)

Dad, Grandma (my dads mom) and Me.

Me and Mom
My mom is amazing! She is one of my best friends! I love it when we start giggling about who knows what. It's terrible because we cannot STOP! She has taught me so much and I hope I can be half the woman and mother she is.

Race for the Cure

We had the opportunity to be a part of the Race For The Cure this morning. 1800contacts actually paid for mine and Ben's registration. My family (Mom,Dad,Morgan, and Spencer) were also there. My sis in law's aunt is fighting breast cancer right now and so we were there in support of her and all others who are fighting this tough battle! It was a great way to start the morning with friends and family and it was a beautiful morning to top it off!

What the heck are you guys doing now?

We put our names in the St. George Marathon lottery today! We find out on May 14th. I really hope we get it!
Ben starts a new job tomorrow with Staker Parson working in the lab testing concrete and Asphalt. We are saying his job title is "scientist".
I am taking a second test tomorrow to see if I am able to transfer to another department that is not sales based but productivity based. 
We are crazy busy, loving life, our new truck, stressed at times but it's all good.
