Another post.

I am in my bed, typing away. Thankfully my keyboard lights up in the dark, otherwise there wouldn’t be much hope of an update tonight.

The past two weeks? It doesn’t feel like two weeks – that’s for sure.

On Thursday of that week was a pretty normal day. I worked as normal on Friday until Steve came up to me. “Congratulations. You got the position.” A few minutes later the director walked by. “Congrats on the job…” then she continued. I wasn’t sure at first you were serious for the position so that’s why I wanted a lot of detail on your application.
Huh… great. Like the lion king.. “can you feel.. the love tonight…”
hah.

The side of the story I didn’t tell you about – was on the Friday prior I applied for the job but when I turned in the paper telling why I was going for the position and what I was seeking out of it- it was returned to me by my manager. I didn’t know why. He told me they wanted some further detail. Okay. I wrote beyond the space that was given to me, off to the side and kept explaining. Turned it back in. He went to check if that is what they wanted to hear. A few minutes later he came out and told me, they needed more. I looked at him and told him that I didn’t know what they wanted, I said why I wanted the role – and I wouldn’t know what else to add.

Then he told me what to put. Much appreciated. Why did it come to this? Why did I have to write out more and more and even more on the application? Well.. I’ll tell you why.

The day where I went to have the side by side, I was talking to someone offhand at the office about why I was at the corporate office. I offhandedly mentioned that my position leaves much to be desired and that I was pretty bored with my role. I guess this same person went to the director after I was done- telling her that they had major concerns about me coming to corporate.

Drama.

Anyway… the same person greeted me with a smile when I started last Monday. It has been pretty crazy how much the time has slipped by. It is already September.

So what has been going on with the job? The first day I started everything was cool. Crazy busy- but cool. I was loaded with a few hundred accounts to handle right off the bad. Fresh and ready to go. Well, I guess they underestimated me. By a long shot. I was able to do a couple hundred accounts in less than a week. The person who is giving me work said that he assumed that one of the accounts would have taken me the rest of the week to complete – and I had finished in a matter of a few hours.

Good? Maybe. Why isn’t it a sure answer? Well.. by the end of the week I was out of work. On Friday I didn’t have too much to do. On Monday I talked to him (this past Monday) and he said that he was all caught up for now. So what do I do? I twiddle my thumbs now and wait for more work to come in. That is kinda crap if you ask me. I know that I doing this job for far less than anyone else in that office and yet I can get tons more done? How is that? It isn’t hard work. They were backlogged with some accounts from June- yet now they are current.

Blah. It is rather frustrating, but also out of my hands. I can’t do anything about it. I have been trying to pace myself. Thankfully some of the other departments come over and ask questions so I am proving useful in that respect. I am also helping enroll partners who have technical difficultly doing so.

Lifelock has lost in its court case against Experian. A court has declared that a third party setting fraud alerts on behalf of an individual is illegal. However; LifeLock was long preparing for this and already has a bigger system rolling out as we speak. It will be good. When I first came back the new project was so under wraps that some people were worried about us closing down.

That won’t be the case- at least not anytime soon.

I am sure I have more to update about – but right now… it feels like it has just been work the past couple weeks. Not that fun….

hopefully it will improve!

just Pray.
