I hope everyone had a great weekend. It wasn't long enough for me. Back at it again this morning.
Working hard tryna keep a job!
That happened to be a saying from my old boss. I was a HR Assistant for the Regional Director of Levy Restaurants @FedExForum in Memphis. Levy Restaurants is a big food and beverage company, they are located at the majority of NBA, NFL, MLB, and other professional sports arenas. So, I got a chance to work with the Memphis Grizzlies..see them practice and all that good stuff. It was a pretty good job to have straight out of college with no HR experience, but she took me in under her wing. I was so grateful to have met her and all the experience she gave me. Which makes me more marketable with a Sociology degree. Some jobs have been in Social Services and some have been in Human Resources, but I believe that I want to stay in Human Resources. I am in it now and I am getting so much experience (I have another good boss too). I like having my own office, a set schedule, and knowing that when I am off..I'm off!
The only thing I don't like is the location, so I try to leave on the weekend as much as possible, I kinda treat this as a town I stay in, just to work. All of my friends are in Memphis area. With the exception of two, Cassandra and Julie-Ann, they live in Florida.
I plan on taking some trips to visit fam in other states this summer. I gotta get it in quick cause Jacks is free until he's 2 years old...I am very frugal (just a nice way of saying cheap)..I like money and there are two things I don't play about and that's my child and my money. I count my nickels daily.
On to the next, What to do with Jacks?
I was in the process of taking down my hair (would show you pics of this natural afro, but maybe later) and I hear this screaming, I thought it was the t.v. because I turn it up to drown Jacks out while he is in the living room turning around in circles and screaming, 'Thank you' to the top of his lungs (I know, bad mommy habits). I ask him to say thank you so much he just screams it out all the time. So I get up wondering what is going on cause he was hollering and grunting..I get to my room and see him stuck between the mattress and the wall. I laugh and say, "hold it right there, I gotta get this pic for my blog."
He was a sport, he gave me a smile in the second one. I guess he was like, 'this woman ain't gone get me out until I compromise, so here you go momma." I always have fun times with him. He gets on my nerves. My dad said yesterday, "boy by this summer Paw Paw can get you from your momma without you crying and take you with him" and I was thinking sure can..Goodbye Jacks! Holla at cha!
Until next time....
