Busy busy

Hey its been awhile since I've blog...you all might be thinking "well katie did just turn 21, she's prbly out being crazy!" well actually no i havent! But I did enjoy my birthday, I ended up going up to Mitchel South Dakota with some friends to meet more friends, we ended up getting a hotel room and went out to the bars for the night and had a little after party....I actually did NOT get drunk, my friends took me out to eat and I actually got sick from the food and was in no mood to drink that nite, but I was still forced to have a couple!! But I must say that I did go out at 12:01am right when I turned 21, and I remember everything but that was prbly the night I celebrated the most! So I came back weds and kind of caught up on sleep cause I knew I was having some other college buddies come over for the weekend to hang out for my birthday....Although I didn't know they were going to stay the whole weekend, but it was still alot of fun! I went out on friday nite to the bars and it was a good time! It's weird pulling out my NEW license thats blue (if ur not from SD, when ur under 21 your ID is red and when u are 21+ its blue) soo I finally got mine on Friday soo I totally used it that night without having to point out my birthday! Soo we stayed up late that night (go figure) and the next morning we didn't sleep in that long...soo i was sleep deprived, but that didnt make me go to bed earlier the following night...bc well I was up til 4am this time hanging with one of my good friend that we needed some catching up to do on life! Now the problem in all this was I wanted to get ahead of myself and go to bed at like 11 on saturday and wake up early sunday morning, to prepare myself for my 1st day of work which was on Monday(20th).....well ya...i had about 10 hours of sleep this weekend and then Sunday night I didn't get to bed early enough still and i had to be up at 6am...if u know me...umm I dont get up at 6am! Thank goodness I only had to be up this early one time!

Soo yes, I have started my job at First Premier Bankcard, and so far I really like it, and everyone is soo nice and the atmosphere is amazing! I'm currently have completed 3 days of training which consists of working from 10am-6:30pm....I will continue this till the 31st and the I start my first shift on the 2nd!! Im soo pumped!! But Im hoping I don't wear myself out!!!!! Right now I'm choosing to go to school full time (12credits) and work full time Sun(11am-7pm) Mon-Thurs(3pm-11:30pm)....We'll see how it works but I already know that tuesdays and thursdays are prbly going to be my a crabby days! lol I go to class from 9:30-1 and then work from 3-11:30pm... remind u it takes 1/2 hour to get to work!!! I know I am crazy! But I need a job and the money but i also want to be in school and getting done still at a decent time!!! I will def. keep an open mind and def. watch myself so I don't get burnt out! Okay well this is getting way to long and detailed!!! Soo I'm gonna go, but I promise I will make time again to blog about my progress at Premier...I'm happy to call myself a 1st premier bankcard employer! :)

Hope everyone is well!!!! and staying dry with the storms that have been hitting us lately...well we've had rain 2 straight days now!! and will have a 3rd day tmr i guess!!!

Mind Boggled...

Wow...I just got done watchin the Number 23, a movie with Jim Carrey....Has anyone seen it?! Well if so did you feel mind boggled?! It's a great movie but it made me think of all these numbers! And kind of making me crazy!!! lol well not really. It intrigue me so must I have been browsing the internet and what are like all these things about the number 23, like events that happened or deaths, just pretty much anything...This movie is awesome and Jim Carrey I think does an amazing job, it's def. a switch from seeing him in comedies to this thriller! I don't know this movie just makes me think to much! It's has a great plot and I didn't expect it to unfold like it did! I am a number freak sometimes soo now I am probably going to play with this for awhile. Haha well I def. found some things so check it out, its pretty interesting...there are so many things out there but these ones are pretty easy explanation i guess...In the movie they talk about alot of things equaling 23 like something with the color pink(i cant remember) or his name meant 23...Its crazy i must say! Soo you should check this movie out if your into that kind of stuff i gues that stuff would be called Numerogoly.

A long time coming!

Ah! So i figured I would blog to you all (the ones that read) about what has been going on. For the past how many blogs I've been writing about having job interviews, I had two last friday that I thought I would enjoy but the hours were not working with my schedule, I was offered a position at Alorica but I am going to have to turn it down, no call back from 1st financial Bank, but the hours there were pushing me to get out of class and get on the road to work so I don't think I would have liked that! So with those 2 jobs not looking good I had to keep looking, but I always had in the back of my mind, "I need to go to 1st premier bankcard" Jon used to work there for awhile when he was in college and he seemed to enjoy it. But I signed-up for a profile over a year and 1/2 ago. So when trying to access this profile I couldn't remember my password, and it wouldn't let me set up a new account! So I remember that they had walk-in interviews on Weds from 9am-4pm (which was today) and Figured well I'll just go there and then fill out the application on site. I get there around 1:30pm today and it took me another 1/2 hour to figure out how to start the application because I still couldnt create an account or get into my past one...Obv. I asked for help right away, but the lady who was workin the desk was just a temp while the other lady was on break...ya...she wasnt much help! Finally she got someone to help and at about 2 i started filling out the application!
After that It was just time to sit and wait.
I'm going way off track and being very detailed but i have to mention just this one thing...when i was waiting a lady came out and was acting all professional while the interviewer walked her out, but as soon as the interviewer walked back in, the lady jump with joy saying she got the job and was SOOO excited! I was like wow! congrats! She was all excited cause she didnt have to start work till the 20th which meant she could still go her trip to Cabo! lucky her!!! Soo before she left she gave me some friendly advice to just be yourself and that they are soo nice and everything....

So Finally it was my time to be interview! I never been through an interview like this before! I was with probably 4 different people! But it was also nice getting to know people I was going to be working with. So finally the last lady was the head hancho of the department and she basically offered me the job! Which YAY Im excited about, I told her I would confirm tomorrow! DUH of course Im gonna take the job! Its a great environment and I actually got to sit in on some calls which was actually pretty exciting..Its pretty well scripted and you stare at a computer and about 95% of your work day is being on the phone with a customer. Something I will def. have to get used to! Also they have good benefits which i dont know all of them for sure, but they have PLENTY of incentives also where u can range from $500-1000 a month plus ur regular pay! Unforuntely the hours to come at a price and I will have to get use to them! I work Sundays 11-7pm and then Mon-thur 3pm-11:30pm But the joys of working sundays and night is that I get a dollar more an hour...hmmm soo I'm making $10.51 an hour!! BOOYAH!!! Soo neways with all this details, I did get offered the job and I will confirm tomorrow, and all i got to do is pass all the pre-employment tests and I'll be good!! YAY:) ohh and i also don't start till the 20th of august soo that means no conflict during my birthday! Soo i better enjoy my free-time while i can!!

Well anyways I noticed that I like being very detailed in everything I tell you guys! But hey whatever I'm just soo excited I got a job!! WOOT WOOT! Well I'm off to bed now!!! I get to go shopping with Mama tomororw :)

Goodnite!!!!

Yours Truly,
The new employee at 1st Premier Bankcard
