Today was my 2nd day of work. It was really interesting learning all the new things I will be doing after my training is complete. It is such a culture shock working in the federal center. It's HUGE compared to my old job where we had like 15 offices and 4 bathrooms. The federal center has a cafeteria, a gift shop, meditation room, doctors office, day care... and so much more. Friday we have a company picnic so I will get to meet even more new people. That will be fun.
I was glad that my group got our paper done Sunday. I reviewed it a few times and had others read it as well and we got all good reviews. It turned out really well and I am proud to turn this report in. Today is our last day of class and we have a final. I feel pretty confident after studying.

BUS 3700 Free #2
I am currently working on getting my part of the paper in tip top shape before it's due next week. I am nervous about length but I know that we have some good information in our paper. I hope it comes together easily when we're all finished with our parts.
Monday is my first day at my new job. I am really excited to start a new chapter in my life. Of course at the same time I am really nervous, but more excited than nervous. Tomorrow is my last day at my current job that I've been at for 3 years so I know it's going to be an emotional day. I am the receptionist so I can't be blubbering all over while we have clients in our waiting area. At 5 a few staff members are gonna meet up at a Pub and get dinner for my "Going Away" shin-dig. That will be fun I am sure.
Today I am meeting two coworkers for lunch that can't make it to my party. They are such nice ladies and they make me laugh so I'm sure it will be a good time. I hope there is cake tomorrow too. I love when there are birthdays at my work because we always get cake. Tomorrow's not my birthday, but I believe it's a "cake-worthy" occasion.

BUS 3700 Oral Presentation Outcome
I think I did okay on my presentation. I realized after my presentation was over that I forgot to do an outline and I was really upset at myself. I spent so much time trying to perfect my actual presentation that I completely forgot to add it.
I felt kind of silly when I started my presentation before my slides were up. I thought I had to push "DOC CAM" or but I was suppose to push "PC" instead. I also was embarrassed when a pop up came during the middle of my presentation too. I think I also messed up a word in the middle of it but I can't remember what the word was.
I kept reminding myself:
Speak slowly, but not too slow.
Speak loudly but not too loud.
Keep eye contact.
Over all I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Everyone seemed to be interested in what I was saying. I will find out this week what they actually thought and that makes me really nervous too. I would almost rather not know what they thought but it will be good to have feed back. That way I will know what I need to work on when I have another oral presentation. I'm sure I have a lot more to come in my future.

BUS 3700 Free Write
I'm not exactly sure what I want to talk about so I will just type and see where this takes me..
Today I am going to make a new recipe. I am excited to see how it turns out. It's whole grain crunch chicken nuggets. It get crunchy with whole grain chips and flavored with ranch dressing powder mix (SunChips). It looks really good on the photo so I guess we'll see how it turns out.
My last day at my current job is next Friday. I am sad to be leaving but excited to start a new chapter in my life. This week my supervisor is in training so I had to take over and it was super stressful. Everyone at my work seems to be supportive about it, although they all say they will miss me. I hope that if they do a "Goodbye" party that no one gives a farewell speech because I am a big baby and will cry. I want it to leave on a happy note... not a sad one.
Tomorrow is Friday and I am really excited. I am going to Ribfest this weekend with some friends. I loooooove BBQ. And also, SHHH... I heard there will be a "flash mob" of dancers there Saturday at 6:30 PM.! I can't wait.! It will be so cool. Of course, I've never seen one in person so it may not be as cool as I am imagining.
I am starting to enjoy this whole blogging thing. I can talk and talk and talk and no one is there to tell me to stop yapping. :)

BUS 3700 Oral Presentation Topic
I chose to do my oral presentation on a Therapy Intake. I chose to do this because:
1- I am super familiar seeing as I've been doing it for three years
2- It seemed to be the most interesting thing I do.
I say this because no one wants to hear about how I shovel the tide walks, or do supply orders, or do the dishes at my job. I wanted to do something that some people may have had no clue about. I know before I started calling insurances myself and all of the "behind the scenes" work I had no idea how much it took just to be a client somewhere. It's basically the same procedure to go to the doctors office or anywhere else.
I really love my job and am happy that I had the opportunity to work there the past 3 years. I work in our counseling program so I don't get to actually WORK with the clients.. but I do get to know them as they become regulars. I like knowing that the agency I work for helps people in need. I am going to be sad when I spend my last day there next week but I know that this is a step in my career and it's a great one.
I'm currently having issues making my presentation long enough. But I know I am talking super fast when I practice so I think I'll be okay once I S L O W D O W N. :)
