Reminiscing Today

 It has been a while since I blogged anything and I have had some great ideas but have not taken the time to write them here, but here I am so enjoy. 

This morning on my 8 mile commute to work, I saw a US Foodservice truck twice. I immediately went back to Rykoff Secton in La Mirada where I was on a two week temp assignment to create one personnel file with original documents out of several files. It was nothing too challenging and I was trying to figure out for the 4th, 5th or 8th time what I was going to declare as my major when I went back to college for the 4th, 5th or 8th time. 

That temp assignment turned into a year as I helped the VP of HR with a project and my interest in human resources grew. Once I decided that was my career path I remember calling CSU Fullerton to see if they had it as a major and they did. That VP of HR was also my boss for several years in three different companies. So grateful that Susan needed help, asked me a question, I was able to help her, and she helped me find my path.

2021 February Actually 2022 June 5

If I could fix the Title it would be 2021 February. as it is Sunday, June 5, 2022. I am surprised that I have not blogged in over a year but then I am not. Why well, I was so busy commuting and working long days from 7/2020 - 9/2021 that I had no energy for anything. My meal prep ended and I just slept, ate what I could buy (had to keep the economy going was my rationale for ordering take out) and drove to and from work. 

I worked for a nutritional supplement company in Allen, TX. It is family owned and it was quite interesting. In the beginning, I did feel like I had made a bad choice in leaving the hospital in Carrolton. However, I got my groove and I enjoyed it and the owners and employees made it worth it. 

However, an opportunity to apply for a position 7 miles from my home came up and I did apply on the last day. I interviewed and I wanted it. I was offered the job but I would have had to leave when by boss was on vacation and I couldn't see myself doing that and declined. Then in September I resigned and gave a five week notice. I started looking and was getting discouraged finding my replacement and my future job. When out of nowhere I was called with a job offer from my current employer. God is good. I accepted and well I have no regrets. I miss the people at my old job but I don't miss the commute. I now have a 15 - 20 minute commute to and from work. I only fill my gas tank on payday Thursday and usually my tank is half full. 

I will update my blog with some more posts but that is a quick update on what is happening with me. Oh yeah and somoeone else has the same blog name - booo.
