I know there is a lot I rushed through and didn't go into a whole lot of detail about. The main reason for that is that I have a feeling I am boring you all and you would rather eat broken glass than read more, but if you have an interest in a certain part, questions, and/or comments about anything, don't hesitate to ask. I am an open book or rather an open blog. =^)
So, we are now in mid-January 2008. One of my dear best friends, Bonnie, were hanging out one night. I had taken her home and we were sitting in my car talking. We were talking about girl stuff and whatever else. She mentions that she was talking to an old friend of ours Travis.
Here's the story with Travis:
Summer between 7th and 8th grade (1999). My best friend at the time, Jenn, was "going out" with this guy Travis who was 2 years older than her. He came over and hung out with a few times and then they broke up. For some reason he kept in touch with me. We would talk on the phone all the time and the for whatever reason he decided he like me and "asked me out". You as much as two Jr. High kids can "go out". In all honesty I really didn't like him. He was super skinny and kinda goofy looking, but it was exciting because he was older. So, we would talk on and off on the phone. He rode is bike down to my house one day. Which is kind of a hefty ride. He brought his friend Derek over too. So we just kinda hung out and talked, Shari was there with us. Then when they were about to leave, he pushed Shari and Derek outside and closed the door, pushed me against it and gave me a nice romantic kiss. It was in fact my FIRST kiss. And is was pretty awesome for a first kiss.
So, after that we didn't ever see each other, due to being so young and not having cars. We would talk on the phone every now and again, but eventually we just drifted apart and pretty much called is quites. But over the next few years we would talk on the phone occasionally and we would run into one another randomly. It was kind of strange how we always ended up popping into one another's life one way or another.
Few years later, I would guess my Junior year of High School, Travis and I were talking. He was single and was asking if I had any single friends he might be interested in. (At the time I was seeing Richard. Which reminds me, I don't know know why I skipped over him. He played a big part in my life too. I guess it was because he was in the middle of the drama at home. Sorry Richard!) Anyway, the only person I could think of was my best friend Bonnie. So I hooked them up and they dated for quite some time. I am not sure what happened between them or why it ended but as you can see it did.
So that pretty much brings us back to where I started. Bonnie was telling me that she had been talking to Travis not to long ago. I, being single at the time, asked is he was single and that she should give him my number. She said she would, and that's how we started.... again.
It's really kind of strange how someone can pop in and out of your life for so long.

How I Got Where I am Today.... Part 8
Wow... That has taken a lot longer than I expected it too. Sorry for all of those of you that I have bored. Hopefully I can get to the present and not go on and on about the past. I don't know what made me want to tell you about my life. I guess I just wanted it to get out there and for kind of a journal. I am sorry there aren't any pictures. I promise future posts will include pictures. Thank you all for taking the time to read my babble. Love you all. So, here goes......
At this point in my life it was June-ish 2007. I am currently single with no dates in mind. (I don't really know how to "date"), living in my very own apartment, and working as a Universal agent at the UPS Customer Service Center; a.k.a. UPS's phone center. What I was doing wasn't horrible, but it wasn't my favorite. But the end of the June my career at UPS to a turn for the awesome.
I put in for a position that I had no idea about, but an old supervisor told me I should put in for it. I did the interview and hoped for the best. A day or two later I was told I got the job! I was so excited yet terrified all in one. I would be off the phones, but then I had no idea what I would be doing. I would be in an office, with people I have no idea who they were. But as I looked back at my life I see that I never took chances, so I said "What the hell! Let's do this!" I become a Site Quality Admin on June 28, 2007.
As it turns out I LOVE my job! I have learned so much in that office. So much about computers and programs. Currently, I am still in that same position and love every day of it. What my day consists of is running a few reports about how the site's quality is doing and information the the Quality Measurement Group sends us. I also create communications and post them on our internal web site. Who knew I had a create bug? I really love my job and couldn't be happier doing what I do.
As with any job, we have changes and management moves. In the three and a half years I have been in that office I have had 4 different supervisors. The first, Todd. He was a good guy. He was my first supervisor when I started at UPS. I didn't know him very well and sadly he was only there for a couple months. Next I had Dave. I had never met him before, and my fellow co-workers didn't know much about him. I honestly don't remember a good day with him.... I did my best to see the good in him, but for some reason we just couldn't get a long. He came in a changed everything we knew on how to do our jobs. He knit picked everything and just made you feel like garbage. I know a lot of hostility came from a girl that worked in my office, Amy. She was a very strong willed person and I couldn't help follow. Sadly, I didn't love my job so much. I dreaded coming to work everyday. I was constantly in trouble for on thing or another. I felt like I had to walk on egg shells because I had no idea what I was going to do wrong next. He hated me and well, I hated him. Still to this day I know he doesn't like me. Which makes sad because I look back on a lot of things now and think I shouldn't have been such a stubborn brat. Something he did had meaning, but I was too much of a booger to allow him to be right. (Yes, I am using a lot nicer words that deserved).
I had to put up with him for about two and half years. On the bright side, there was some light in the dark world......
We are getting closer to the present! Are you excited?
