Yes, I know that I have been absent for a good couple of months now. I'm guessing that hardly anyone noticed, but for the one or two of you that did, I'm sorry. Now for the updates and excuses of my disappearance.
Excuse #1
Since the shooting season had gotten into full swing about the middle of June I saw all of my free daylight hours - which wasn't many dwindle down to literally none. The free ones had been taken up by practicing and preparing for the shooting competitions that were to come.
Excuse #2
Due to all the management changes in the surrounding branches, and the peak tourism season hitting the area, my work load had increased to an almost intolerable amount. While most of the time I would be happy about having an increase in my responsibilities, during the summer they increased to a level that most would consider above my pay grade.
Excuse #3 (final one)
I found myself spending all my free time either chatting or hanging out with Plentywood. That turned out to be a complete waste of my time and money - love when I make those choices....
Now for the Updates...
Update #1
all of the non-salaried, full time employees of the group got a raise! While it's not a huge raise, it's still a raise and that makes me happy. I also hit my one-year anniversary with the company, thus accumulating 20.5 paid vacation days - woohoo!
Update #2
In just 16 days I will be transferring back to the place of my birth to work at the local branch there. I can't wait to move back and take on yet another different type of work experience, this one being at an off-site airport location that also serves as the "home/city" location.
Update #3 (final one of these)
Guess I really don't know what to use as the 3rd update other than to say, other than, even though Football season and Hunting season have commenced, I will try to get back on the blogging wagon and share all my wonderful experiences with those of you that do actually read this.
That is all for now.
