Second Floor Supervisor

Today was one of the best days ever! About a month ago I applied and was offered the position to be an interim supervisor. Its been really great. Being a supervisor has been so fun. At first I was worried because my go to answer for the past year at work has been "Ask your supervisor." And now I am the supervisor so I have to come up with the answers... hopefully they are right ones too! Today was great though because I was offered the permanent position. I am officially a supervisor for MemorialCare at Sutter Physician Services. My start date is March 16th, exactly 355 days after my start date with Sutter Physician Services as a Quality Coordinator. Thats kinda neat. At this pace I will be a manager on March 15th of next year, and a director on March 14th of 2017! Woot Woot!!!

But today I want to talk about why being a second floor supervisor has been so great. There are activity rooms on each floor, and ours has a ping pong table in it. One of my first jobs as a supervisor was to come up with a gift to give the agents for meeting their goals last month. I got them all ping pong paddles with a note that said "Way to Smash that Service Level!" It was pretty clever if I do say so myself. Well one of my favorite co-workers in another department also happens to be working on the 2nd floor now. And when he found out we had ping pong paddles... lets just say things got real.

We managed to meet together three different times, during lunch, on a break around 3, and after work today to play a bunch of games. We are keeping score too, and the first one to win 20 games has to buy the other one lunch! I'm about to get the easiest free meal from Cafe Rio Ever!!!

In all honesty, this job is hard. I got there at 8 this morning, didn't take a lunch, and worked straight  until 5.  Supervisor Tara is WAY busier than Cordner the Coordinator. I don't even realize that I worked through lunch until its about 2:00 and I'm starving but have meetings and things that have to get done. Luckily though the ping pong is pulling me through.

So here's to my newest adventure. One year home from my mission and I've got a nice new promotion to celebrate! I'm thinking I'm going to enjoy 2015! Its possible it will be the BEST YEAR EVER!!!

I Think I'm Funny!

Dear Blog,
I haven't blogged in SO long. Recently I was going through my old entries and I forgot something...  I am a hilarious blogger! I feel bad that I have deprived the blogging world of my funny entries for so long. So as of today, I'm back baby! Get ready for great blog posts from yours truly.

Dear Work,
Thank you for hiring me 50 weeks ago. Time has gone so fast its hard to believe I've worked here a year now. And thank you again for the promotion. This week (all two days of it) has been great so far and I'm really excited about my new supervisor position. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think I will be boss at this new job! (Pun intended!!!)

Dear Utah,
Have I mentioned lately how much I love you. Its been the best year of my whole life. I especially loved how you surprised us today with a little random snow storm! Yay for March snow!

Dear Roommates/Friends,
You are seriously the best thing to have ever happened to my life. I just feel so honored that I get to be around cool people like you every day. Also... you guys make videos on youtube that gets over 60,000 views... and thats just awesome.
Watch their video here!!!

Dear Christine,
Can you believe its been 4 and a half years. You are still to this day my favorite car I have ever owned. I was just thinking about how much I loved you today while I was driving to work and felt like you needed a shout out to how great you are. Also I especially love the pink fuzzy dice that are now hanging from your rear view mirror!

Dear Current Playlist,
You are killing it!!! I  have loved driving with you on repeat all the way to Utah County and back! Mostly due to the new Carly Rae Jepsen song. I really really really really really really like you!

Dear Starburst Jelly Beans,
I'm afraid you are going to be the death of me. And yes I know I say this every year. And no I never do get the self control I promise myself I will have next easter when they come out again. I recently have bought jeans that are a size smaller than my jeans have been in a long time... but I'm worried that after this next couple of months I will be back in my fat jeans. Curse you delicious jelly candy!

Dear New Workout,
I bought you kinda as a joke but I'm really enjoying you! Hopefully you will keep me from going back to my fat jeans due to the enormous amounts of jelly beans I will be eating. Come May 1st, ya'll better watch out, Amy and I are going to be looking FINE!!!

Dear Call Center Management On Fast Forward,
You might just be the most boring book I have ever read... but I haven't read that many boring books, so... ya know! I like the conversations that come in our book club at work when we are talking about you. But tonight I need to read the next two chapters and I'm just not feeling it...

Dear Grocery Store,
Why are you so hard to go to? Like I literally haven't had food in my house for days and I still don't know why I can't just go buy some. It just seems so hard sometimes. Like paying rent. You know you have to do it but you put it off until the very last day possible. Have I mentioned how much I hate being a grown up.

Dear Future Tara,
Don't be a grown up. Its not cool. Try to avoid it as much as possible.

Dear Boyfriend,
Why you gotta be so cute?! Like literally... you're distracting me from everything with your cuteness.
I would say knock it off, but I kinda like it! And you! ;)
