A New Chapter Begins...

Posted on November 3, 2011 at 10:50 PM

I'm a 27 year old man.  I've been married for a little over a month now, almost a month and a half, I guess.  Life is getting to where I can say that it is starting to settle down, and I like that a lot.  For the first time in my life, things are seeming to fall into place and settle down into what I picture as my life being like for the next... SEVERAL years.  I have a family now.  I am a married man now.  We do family stuff.  We celebrate and commisserate together like families do.  There are times when it is somewhat difficult, but that is life, and that is genuinely ok because that is how we grow.


I recently did something that I haven't done in over a decade, for the most part.  I turned a page in my life and it is something that I am very proud of.  For nearly the last 12 years, I've worked with my dad in his law office doing all things secretarial and filling the roll basically of a paralegal.  It was a difficult job at times.  It was a slow job at times.  It was a huge blessing that put me through school and kept me out of the red the last decade.  I am eternally grateful to my dad for providing me with that job and for teaching me everything that he did and helping me to learn about the business world as much as I did.


Last week, I left working with my dad and started a new job with the company, CashCall.  I hadn't started a new REAL job in years and years, and starting this new job was such a pleasant surprise.  First off, I got the referral from my best friend, Joe.  He's worked there for several years, and he sent me a text one day and said his friend who is a manager there was looking for someone to hire.  I decided to see what it was all about, sent an email, and set up an interview.


So I interviewed and ended up getting the job.  I've now been working as a Quality Control Auditor for a week.  I am the guy who listens to the recorded phone calls from companies that say "this call may be monitored for quality assurance".  It is actually a super fun job.  I've come across some super fun phone calls and on top of that, I work with a really great team.  I work with 3 other people on my team, and then we all have a manager.  So we are a team of 5, and they are all really great.


I'm very much enjoying my new work.  I very much look forward to several more weeks, months... even years there.  The people are great, the work is pretty enjoyable, and it is close to home... the pay is pretty good, too... so that's nice.


Bottom line... I began a new chapter of my life and I'M LOVING IT!!!

It was a privilege and an honor to work with, struggle with, learn with, and laugh with you in the office all these years. I'm glad to hear the new chapter is looking as good as it is.
