the one where its been a while

Sunday night. The time I was starting to dread. With every minute that passes, work looms closer. I know I’ll be fine. I’ll fall back on my 8 weeks of training, and will be golden. For the most part, I think I’ll like my job. It won’t stop me from looking at other places in the company to move up to. I’d really like to be in the tech side of online banking, but it’ll take time. I have to cut my teeth, so to speak, in the regular relationship servicing before I can go other places.

Our facilitators said we were one of the best classes in recent memory. In fact all of us passed the final test. The class right after us, there were some that didn’t. One of my instructors in 3C’s (the live end of the training) said I was one of the better navigators through all the systems, that she had seen. That makes me pretty happy.

So tonight, I’ll re-watch Sherlock, and go to bed as relaxed as I can get. And be ready to start the day tomorrow.

I’ll be fine. I know deep down I’ll be fine. I know what I’m doing. I’ll be good at it too.

Let me preface this by saying this is going to be my last LEGO set that I’m going to buy for a while.

I actually have to get some dress pants, and shirts for work. As well as a new pair of shoes.

So I’m getting this. Over 1300 pieces! Exclusive to LEGO VIP members. Yes, you can buy it on eBay, but you’re paying at least $30 more than on the LEGO site. I even used my VIP points and got it for $69 with free shipping.

Its gonna be a fun build I think!

Got the phone call today for when my orientation is. Its next Wednesday at 9:30am. I should be there for about an hour and a half.

Since my date of employment is still confusing, (I told them I was fired on January 9th 2012, and the employment verification line says I left voluntarily in 2010) I was asked to bring my W2′s from 2010, and 2011.

For safety’s sake, I’m bringing in my W2′s from 2009, 2010, and 2011. Of course I have to bring in 2 forms of ID. I already have two forms of ID in my wallet (my green card and my drivers license), but I was looking at my passports, and really have noticed how much I’ve changed from when I got my first passport in 2001, and when I renewed it in 2010.

We’re due for an upgrade here in about 2 or 3 months, and I just want to know everyone’s thoughts on these four phones.

I put the iPhone on this little list mostly for shits and giggles, but I have always been intrigued with it. I’m 99% sure that I would never get it, but put it on there for the purpose of discussion.

What are your thoughts on these four phones?

Currently, Crystale and I have the HTC Hero. Its a great little phone, but for me, the screen is too small. The battery life is too short, and without rooting it, there’s not a lot of memory in it (128mb).

Hopefully the prices that you see will be the upgrade price, I don’t have the current upgrade prices as I’m not eligible for the prices yet.

So yeah, please give me your input, as I am not up on the phone technology these days.
