Work - What will the future bring?

Work Update

8-19-02 - Started working at Blakeslee & Son, Inc. Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning in Rockford as the Office Assistant / Executive Assistant (My Dad worked as the Dispatcher/ Service Coordinator)
I then worked at the Dispatcher / Service Coordinator after my dad until 7-23-11.

9 YEARS!!

8-1-2011 - Started working at Ahern Fire Protection in Sparta, MI. Worked there for 35 days. They were the worst 35 days of my life.

9-1-11 - Started cleaning homes (Home Cleaning by Amanda)

1-1-12 - Started subbing at Kent City Schools

8-1-12 - Was asked if I could return part time to Blakeslee & Son - not as the dispatcher/ service coordinator just Preventative Maintenance Plan Management & miscellaneous office work / marketing etc. With my cleaning / subbing schedule I chose to return part time... Monday, Wed, Every Other Friday.
Once cleaning slowed down that changed to Mon, Tues, Wed, Every Other Friday.

I have to work 8:30-2:30 in order to be able to take the girls to school and pick them up.

Work has made several employee changes and I'm excited that a service manager will be starting Jan 2nd and also a salesWOman!! will also be starting Jan 2nd. I was told she worked for JQ99 Christian Radio so that makes me very excited to meet her.

I will now be working everyday 8:30-2:30.
I will be doing the dispatching until the new service manager starts. Once he starts I will be the 1st to answer the phone, continue with Preventative Maintenance Plan management, misc. office work, marketing, etc. So call us and you can talk to me!! =)

Once baby gets here then I'll be on maternity leave and then after maternity leave if all works out I may even get to job share with my sister. =) That  makes me very excited as well.

I'm anxious to see what the future brings - I feel like a different employee than I used to be (which is a good thing). Blakeslee & Son has been very good to me and for that I'm very thankful.
There are some days I feel maybe different things are said when I'm not around or as some have told me (not very nice things are said)- but then I have to remember THEY asked ME to come back - so that's got to be one good sign. Plus now I'm working everyday because THEY want me there everyday. They've been very flexible and some days it feels like I'm working with a 2nd family not just co-workers.

I am so proud of the woman you have become! You have grown so much and matured so much that you definitely are a different employee. And yes, THEY asked you to come back, so you need to remember that they NEED you, and don't listen to the people who say "not so nice things".

God had blessed you with a job that you enjoy, a wonderful husband, 2 beautiful little girls and a gummy bear. So be HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!!!!!!!!
