Finally.........

I haven't been able to update this blog as often as before. I just completed week two of my new job and and it's going good, so far. I quite enjoy it. Working from home has it's up side and down side. One of the up sides is that I'm home alone for most of my day. No office, no other people, no phones ringing, no customers, just me. I like it because I find I can really focus on my work and the day goes by pretty fast. Once I came home from the training class in Gainesville, I started working on "auto-review". That means every file (search) I do automatically goes to a "reviewer" who checks it, edits it if necessary and then sends it to the customer. Said reviewer then sends me an email to let me know what changes were made, if any, or that none were made. I was on auto review for my first week and about half of the day Monday of this week. Monday, I had an aweful day. Computer issues!!! My brand new computer is awesome, however it has Windows Vista, which apparently doesn't play nice with Internet Explorer. I fixed the problem, though (Karen, please let Mike know I didn't need him, I did it all by myself!). Well, I did have my brother on the phone with me for a bit for some support, but I actually did it myself. So, in and amongst my trials and tribulations, I check my email and I get one that says, "Congratulations, you're off auto review". I couldn't believe it. So for the rest of the week this week I was on my own. If we have an issue or are unsure about anything we can still "request review", so I did do that for a few of my files, as I am still learning their processes and procedures. All in all I like it. Anyway, enough about work. Rogie and I went on our monthly "date night" last weekend. We decided not to go out on Valentine's Day due to the crowds and all and went last Saturday. We just went to Longhorn, but it was great! We waited for our table in the bar and had a drinkypoo, then we had a wonderful dinner, just the two of us. I had the filet and lobster and Rogie had the filet and salmon. I loved being able to spend time just us and talk and laugh. We both needed it. Ryan bowled good last weekend. He was very consistant, 126, 125, 132. He is doing great! I took the boys for a visit with their mom and sister on Saturday after bowling. Tina and Nicole had just moved into a two bedroom house Tina is renting in St. Pete. The visit went good and everyone got along. The boys played with the animals mostly, since there are some new additions to Tina's house now, kitties. Andrew and Roger started working on the mini-bikes that have been rotting in our garage for a year and a half. Andrew has been working on them mostly while Roger is working during the week. He and Roger got one running last weekend, but the tires needed air. Andrew took the tires off, took them to get air and put them back on this week. Tonight I was cooking and I heard....rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr outside the window. I went downstairs and Ryan told me Andrew was riding the mini-bike and quick to tell me that he was also wearing a helmut. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of him riding (didn't want to leave cooking food), but I will this weekend and post them next time. Happy Friday to all!
