Week 2 was here and now it’s gone. Where do the days go when you are having so much fun working? I’ll be honest, in the last year and half the days went by so slow that I would actually forget what day it was. Now, the days are flying by again. But you know what? I love it! Getting back to work is huge for me. It makes me feel like I’m a part of something again. This last week’s highlight.
Mainly this last week, I had several appointment with different program coordinators that run different programs for Brighton Center. All the appointments were very useful to me as I came away from them with better understanding of the programs and with tons of valuable information that is vital for my success in the job I’ll be doing over the next year. Out of the 17 program coordinators that I have to meet with, I have already met with 6 of them.
Also, during the week, the new project that I was asked to take over re-launched with a new face lift as I reformatted the apartment listing that is used for our customers that are looking for apartments and houses to rent. I was also able to target a certain website that could benefit this project big times. I have that meeting this week coming with the owner of the website.
On Wednesday, I had a luncheon to attend and my vegetable salad was a big hit. I was hoping to have some left over so I could eat it for lunch during the week but it wasn’t meant to be as it was all ate up.
On Friday, I had the New Hire Orientation that I had to attend. It was 4 hours of information about the history of the Brighton Center, the different programs within the program, and some great Papa John’s pizza! It was at this orientation that I was able to find some key piece of information that I will need to make my year long service a success. I was able to find a way to gather landlord’s name and address without having to send out letters and etc. Now, I just provided more work for myself. Which I love to see happen to me! The more work I do, the more successful I’ll be in life and at my job!
Outside of work, I did a few things but not much really. It’s very tough to be able to do anything when you have a 2 hour trip to get home. So, 4 hours total a day on the bus really doesn’t help your life outside of work. But on Friday, I was to catch up with my friend Chris. We went to get Chinese food and then went to see GI Joe. What a great action movie it was. Can’t wait to see what they will do with the second movie! Other than that, I really didn’t do anything outside of work during the week. I love having the weekend off!
So, what’s going on this upcoming work week #3? Well, I still have program coordinator’s appointment during the week. I have a meeting with a website owner on Monday. Along with meeting with my supervisor. Another meeting about customer service task that might be required of the Vistas. Will know more about this on Monday. I have to update the apartment listing on Wednesday. Also, have to figure out the best method of reviewing information out of files to be put into a database regarding landlords. Plus, I have to setup a few appointments as well, review a lot of information, and whatever else comes about during the week.
Outside of the work week, there are some major things going on. I’m going to be starting to work on my personal life starting with budgeting. This week on Thursday, I have a budgeting class that I’ll be attending. These classes are required for me to attend if I’m planning on participating in the IDA program. Also, will be finally getting a checking account back after not having one for the last 6 to 7 months. Just waiting on my 1st paycheck this upcoming week to come in. Then I also will be viewing an apartment this week as well. So, as you can tell things are starting to look back up for me and I can’t be more happier!
