New Job

Well if you haven't heard yet, I got a promotion at work. It was the first time I applied for a new position and apparantly over 20 other people applied as well. My job no longer involves me sitting on the phone all day and waiting for the next person on the line. My official job title is Senior Collections Specialist, but basically I am the assistant manager for a group of collectors. I handle irate callers, verify transactions, correspond with borrowers by email, monitor collectors to make sure they follow all the rules, watch forms come in, make sure they process and basically ensure that I get the biggest bonus possible. Pay isn't really any more than I made as a collector, maybe even a little less depending on my bonus for the month. But I really like my new job, and my coworkers say they can tell by the look on my face. I'm a bossy person, so it's better for me to be in a position where I can be a little bossy. =)
But it sure makes it hard. I like to work, I like working, I like the people I work with, but it's really hard when everyone around you is having babies and staying home. I think I would be bored staying home all day everyday, but that's just me. Six people now having babies 5 of them in the next 2 months. It's stinking crazy. I told Dusten that he needed to start budgeting for baby showers. I'm happy for them of course, other people's children are fun, because you're not with them all the time, but I don't think I'm ready for my own yet. Maybe I'll make it into the mom club their 2nd or in some cases 3rd time around. One more promotion and it would be the perfect mom job. Then if I could convince Dusten to stay home, to move to Muncie to be closer. That would be awesome. Until then I'll work 11 hour days, and drive 45 minutes each way. Which is starting to become fun again since it's starting to be light out. I've enjoyed watching the sunrise in the morning on my way to work. The sun still sets before I leave at 7, but we'll give that a couple more weeks.
