I have been at The Exchange Club Carl Perkins Center for almost a month now. I have enjoyed almost every moment during my time here. The parts that I didn't enjoy, offered for my friends a good story. I want to make a list of things that I enjoy about my job because I know that there will be times when I feel as if I don't know why I chose this career path in the first place.
1. I enjoy dressing nice everyday.
I know it sounds kinda lame and girly, but I love being able to go from work to out in public and not be embarrassed by how I look. Since I was 16, I have had a job that either requires a uniform (Sonic, Walgreens) or I have looked like a piece of white trash (Nordyne).
2. I enjoy not sitting in an office all day long.
I basically get to make my own schedule. I drive around Hardeman County and meet very interesting people on my homevisits.
3. My internship really benefited me.
There were days my senior year of college that I hated going to the Weakley county office. I loved the people there but there were some days that I knew that I would be just sitting on my rump for hours and hours on end. During those days, I would sit and read case notes. Surprisingly, that has benefited me the most. I can whip out case notes like nobody's business because I have read so many. I know what they are supposed to sound like.
4. I enjoy the people that I work with.
I'm putting this on here because I know that there are going to be days that I want to pull my hair out because of my co-workers. I enjoy working with Amanda H. and we seem to get along pretty well as long as I'm doing my job. I've heard that she can get nasty when Central is breathing down her neck, but if I can handle Messick I can handle anything and anyone. The office manager and I started at the same time. We are learning together and we have already had some good laughs. God has provided me with a friend here who is getting married in a few weeks. She is living with me for about 4 weeks, until her wedding. It helps to have her at the house because it's not so scary or lonely.
I have decided to start this blog because in my line of work I meet all sorts of crazy people. I also meet people who touch my heart and I learn so much from them. I hope my friend enjoy my stories as much as I love telling them.

I love you Dana! You're like a grown-up now! I'm so happy that your job is going well and that you like it. I can't imagine what it's like for people to go to 4 years of college only to get out and hate what they're doing. I miss you guys in Tennessee, and there is no one here in Texas quite like my friends from back home!
