What do I know??

I started a new job as a Mental Health Coordinator about a month ago. I was stoked... and surprised they offered it to me considering it's a supervisor position and not only have I hardly worked in this field but I, most definitely, have never held a supervisor role! I mean seriously, what do I know? My first week I was in all-day training and I couldn't help but notice employees were working 10 hour days and running around like chickens with their heads cut off! So I get it now... they hired me because they were over their eyeballs in work. In addition, they hired two other people--one girl starts next week and the other starts in May. I knew I'd be working like a dog as soon as my training's were complete.

It's been 4 weeks now and I must say I am super... BORED!!! I have spent time working on school work and nobody seems to care. I have taken the initiative to create several color-coded spreadsheets for random things that don't really apply to me. I have even gone on walks just to pass the time! Some of you might be thinking "HELLO LAZY! Ask someone for some tasks! Ask how you can help them take a load off!" But hold those thoughts... I promise you, I do! And I just want to make it clear, I do like my job. I do like the people I work with. I'm just eager to get going! (I might regret saying this later when I am the one up to my eyeballs in work!)

Luckily they put me in charge of interviewing and hiring new staff so I've got something to do on Thursday. Yes, I'll be interviewing people who I would potentially supervise. Weird. Most of these people have a bachelors degree and even more job experience than me! So I ask myself again... what do I know? We'll see I guess... wish me luck!!

That's all for now

After much deliberation I have decided to walk in the footsteps of my sister, Morgan, who has written an exciting and entertaining blog since 2005. Prior to this blog I questioned if my life was exciting enough to entertain readers. Then I realized... HELLO... I'm 24 years old, my two roommates are my parents, I'm head-over-heals in love, I'm working on my MSW, and I'm a full-time Mental Health Coordinator... I think I can find some stories to entertain!

• After graduating with my B.S. at ISU I moved to Kansas City where I lived with two friends from high school and we had the TIME OF OUR LIFE!!! One year later, I was packing my bags to move back to Des Moines for graduate school where I would be living with the first two roommates I ever had... my parents.
• My boyfriend lives in Des Moines... I try to keep my infatuation with him to a minimum but it's more challenging than you'd think! I'm head-over-heals in LOVE with this guy!
• I just started a full-time job one month ago as a Mental Health Coordinator and I have faith this will bring hilarious, educational, and inspiring stories to my blog.

That's it for now.
