Airport Fun

Got up at 1 am for the 2 hour drive to the airport. Smooth boarding and flight to Charlotte this morning. I do have a slight headache that could be from the pressure changes or lack of sleep. I am now waiting out my 2 and half hour layover. Lunch isn't being served yet and I had breakfast on the way down this morning. I checked Netflix, nothing on I wanted to see, and it is still before 9 am at home (too early to call the little sister). I reckon I will need to find a better way to pass the time as travel is required frequently with the new job. 

Packing to Leave

I have spent most of today filling out employee paperwork. I had to go to the library to print because my printer quit. I now have sent the paperwork with my husband to be faxed. Rechecking my flight confirmation, confirming my brother and sister-in-law can take me to the airport, and getting everything packed are next on my list. My plans had to change, slightly, my dad was gonna drop me off, but our regional airport doesn't open till 4 am. He job would take him by the airport in Ft. Walton at 2 am. I don't minding sitting, but alas they are closed.  I am setting the DVR to make sure I miss none of my shows. We have to go to Wal-Mart later to pick up travel size toiletries. Trying to explain to my dad who has never flew before why I need to by travel size for the TSA is the most annoying conversation I have ever had. Tomorrow is only a one connection day, so not too much of an issue. Then I checked the weather, in Alabama 100 degree summers are normal. This week is a rare coll upper 80s, but in Omaha, where is flying to, is forecasted to be 101. I am so sad to miss the rare coolness of Bama. So to sum up, excited to leave for training, anxious about forgetting something, sad about the weather, and busy as a bee.

Quitting The Old Job and Getting Ready For The New ONe

I was on medical leave for three weeks now, while I was out I got curious to see if something else was out there. I found a job in sales that spoke to me. It had everything I wanted paid travel, no reporting to a direct supervisor every minute of the day, and the ability to make more on my terms. I applied via email that was interested. The recruiter emailed that she would have a district manager call, he did and sent samples to do a test sales pitch. After waiting several days no longer than anticipated for the samples they arrived, ironically the same day I was admitted to have my gallbladder removed. I had to email the manager the sad news. "No problem," he says, "get it to me when you get out." I emailed him the video and now they are scheduled flight and hotel for Wednesday.  I still had to go tell my current employer that I was leaving. I turned in my resignation and said my goodbyes. It is never a surprise at my current job when someone leaves. I worked customer service for a major wireless carrier and stress and aggravation were always high.  I am not sad to leave the job, but I will miss friends I have made.  Now the nerves begin, I have never flown alone before and I will miss my husband.
