I've officially been at my new job for a week! My department is pretty small, there's only 10 of us but they all seem to really get along so I don't think there's going to be any problems there. My department is "employee benefits" where we're the broker for companies/businesses who offer health benefits for their employees and I handle the large group renewals. I still have no clue what exactly I'll be doing day in and day out because everyone has been so busy that no one has the time to sit and train me! I've been a shadow to a few of the ladies just sitting behind them watching what they do and trying to understand. I know in a few months everything will become second nature but right now I feel like my head is spinning! And it is such an "office" job. I have my desk in a room with three other desks and NO windows. There are two other girls who are also new (less than two months) who are still learning the ropes too. So I don't know if it's because they haven't been fully staffed in so long but these ladies are SO busy! They are there before 8 and are there after 5, which is what I thought I was getting away from, but they said it's usually not this busy for each one it's just that they've been understaffed so they all had to take on new responsibilities. So once the other girls and myself get our licenses (to sell insurance) then it should calm down. But we can't really do much because so much of it is speaking with our clients and legally we can't say two words to them about insurance until we have our license, so right now I'm bored but I know once I'm trained in everything I'll be staying busy, which I like.
But of course the day before I started Colton had to go back out of town for work for the entire week so it was kind of difficult having to adjust to everything by myself, but I told him that I didn't mind because that way I would only have to take care of one baby and not two :) I have always been in amazement of women who work full time jobs and have small children because I always said I don't know how they did it all because I felt overwhelmed with keeping the housework up, keeping Korbyn well, keeping my husband well and working a part time job. Now I'm doing all of that PLUS a full time job and like I said I always admired those moms who were able to do it and now I admire them even more!!! I told Colton a while back ago that if I ever went back to work full time that we were going to have to get someone to come in at least once a week to help with the basic cleaning...well I'm so ready to get someone in here! This past week I've accomplished NO housework, or anything else as you can tell by the date on my last post. The only thing that has gotten done is bottles being washed, and that's it! I feel like my house is disgusting! And I told my mom that yes I could do it all on the weekends but I really don't feel like spending my only days off working. And I'm sure there are those supermoms who can easily juggle small kids, a husband (yes that is considered work!), and a full time job...but sorry I haven't reached that supermom status yet and I'm not afraid to admit that I need help!
But I think I'll really like my new job once I can actually work and we'll see about getting this momma some help :)
