I am almost trained! Booyah!!

So tomorrow is my last day of training for my new job at Flagstar. While I've enjoyed getting to know the other new-hires, I won't miss the 1 hour drive to and from the corporate office in Troy. At least I'll get compensated by the bank for my traveling!! I finally get to go to my office tomorrow afternoon. It feels great to be working at a bank again...and at a higher level than I was in GA. Scary...heh heh.

The corporate office is sweet...nicely decorated...we get to use key cards to get access to various areas of the building...I'm easily amused, so I really love this part! It's fun to wave that card at the receivers outside the doors. Woohoo!!

My trainer is insane but great! She has plenty of corny jokes for me to stockpile and unleash on random people. Much better training than what I received at my old bank (even though I enjoyed working there very much)...I feel quite ready to take on my new position. And it'll be nicer to have a slower-paced environment than what I was used to in Roswell.

Christina, the trainer, joked that I must feel lucky to be the only guy in the class of 9. Yeah...I've let her go on thinking that. lol It's just great when they get into discussions about what's in their purses or who is the best stylist...or what diet is best. I felt my testosterone levels sinking over the last week and a half. I may be gay, but I am not a woman! But they are really nice and fun. Hopefullly, I'll see them again in future classes or wherever.

Did I mention how I can't wait to not have to drive all the way to Troy (having to get up at 5:30 too!)?? Monday, I will only have a 15-20 min. drive to work...it'll be wonderful. And even better, at this bank, I only have to wear a tie once a week. AWESOME!! My neck loves that already.

Life is good for now, 3 months in. I look forward to the challenges winter will pose...all those people who tell me "you'll HATE it here in the winter!" make me want to prove them wrong sooo bad. I'm stubborn, so even if I do end up hating it, I'll be VERY reluctant to admit it. lol At least I can go cross-country skiing very nearby when we have snow..and hopefully, do some downhill skiing at some point as well!! YEAH!! My body is craving some good snow-skiing...it's been waaay too long since I've shot down some good slopes (let's see who has a dirty mind).

Alright...enough random shit...I gotta work my abdominals....
