Work and a Few Tidbits. . . Here and There. . .

I am not able to post a lot about my job because of privacy and things like that but today we had a staff meeting and they introduced a new out reach campaign to get people to sign up to be organ, eye, and tissue donors.   It is called "Be the Hero your Dog Sees."   We have a lot of animal lovers in our company and they decided what better way to reach out to the community, than with their animals.  Basically, if you have dogs you know that your dog thinks the sun rises and sets with their human.  So our campaign wants you to be a hero to everyone by signing up to be an organ, eye and tissue donor because your dog already thinks you are a hero.  If you are interested or would like more information about organ donation if you are in North Carolina go to Donate Life NC, if you are somewhere else you can go to Donate Life America.

My job is not easy and many nights I cry on my drive home thinking about the sweet folks that gave so much of themselves for someone else.  I think about that year that my sweet hubby was laid off and how God had a plan for our family and more importantly he had a plan for me.  I do love my job and I am very thankful for the opportunity I have been given to make a difference and to be a hero my dog sees. 

Excitement and Change. . .

We have a car, my mechanic said the same thing I said about buying cars from rental people.  You can be pretty sure they are well maintained and my mechanic confirmed that for me yesterday.  I have never bought a car and paid for it in full, it was a really good feeling.  We also got an awesome deal on this car and the rental folks filed for my license plate just like a dealership does.  I was not sure about that one when I went over there.
Starting to get a little anxious about Monday.  I have not been in the workforce since my sweet Big T was born, thirteen years ago, and it has been even longer since I have worked for anyone.  There will be a big period of adjustment but I do believe this job has the potential to be very rewarding.   I hope that I will be able to encourage others to sign up to be organ donors, my license renews soon and I am going to sign up to be a donor and add that little red heart to my license.  I was reluctant to be a donor but when I started reading all of the literature I decided it was the right thing to do and there really is no reason not to be a donor.  There are medical conditions that would exclude you from donating certain organs and you can read more about those here at organ donor information.
