My Pets

How could I forget to tell you about my newest pets? A few months ago we got a new little kitty from my sister's friend at work. His name is Bugsie and he is so cute! It took a few days for Tigger to finally accept Bugsie because she was not used to any other animals being around, she was the queen of the house. Now they get along great and they are always bouncing around together, chasing each other back and forth, wrestling around and even cuddling and licking each other. They are such a pair!

We also recently got a turtle, and we named him Sammy. we seem to like that name, because that's also what Jason named his first fishy. Now we keep a fish tank with goldfish just to feed to the turtle. We also stil have our 2 other fish tanks, one with community fish and one with more aggressive ones.

We love our pets and can't wait til someday when we have our own house and we can get a puppy too.


 

 

 




Work

I've been working for Network Solutions now for over 2 years. More than half the time, I've spent in Abay Support. I've learned so much in Abay and I've grown so much in the past few years. I've learned how to manage a group of new hires, how to help people set goals and achieve thier goals and how to help people gain confidence in themselves. My personal development has grown from pure fear of public speaking to sheer enjoyment teaching material I've become comfortable with as well as material I may have never seen before. I've also learned how to step up and take charge to lead people in the right direction, including the new hires as well as my peers. I am confident now and have highly developed interpersonal and communication skills I never thought possible.

Recently, I interviewed for a position as a Technology Specialist at the school I graduted from high school. I'm still waiting to hear the results, but whether I successfully earned the position or not, this was another confident step for me in the right direction.
