New Position at Work

I have a new position at Ancestry.com. I have been doing it for the last 3 weeks and I love it. I am now the Call Center's Scheduling Coordinator. I am in charge of all the Call Center agent's schedules.

Because of the last girl that was in the position, the Call Center Director has put me on a 90 day probation and won't officially announce that I got the job. But people aren't stupid most of them have figured it out. Especially since they just hired for my old position!! (Congrats BreAnn!!)

It has been really frustrating because of the way he approached me, it made me feel like I am the horrible employee. This is giving them a chance to get rid of me. My manager keeps telling me it isn't because of me but because of everything this last girl did. I figure I'll just have to do my best. If I get fired after 90 days it will give me the push I need to find a new career path.

I have been talking about moving on for several years but haven't found anything to match Ancestry.com benefits. Although I'm sure I could get paid more somewhere else, but my current insurance and stuff are awesome... So I stay.

I really love the scheduling position and feel it was a really good change for me. It gives me a chance to be out talking to people again, not just hiding in the corner. It funny how many people thought I didn't work at Ancestry anymore because they never saw me.

I've been there 5 years and counting.... They may never get rid of me.

Ain't going to bed.

Last night Lindsey did not want to got to bed. We did our whole bedtime routine and put the girls to bed. I figured she would be tired after our trip up the canyon earlier that day. But no she was ready to play. While I was in the other room, she got out of her bed and was sitting on the couch singing. It took me a minutes to realize what it was she was singing.

Here is her song:
"Ain't going to bed
No More, No More
Ain't going to bed, No More."

It was so funny that Ryan and I both cracked up laughing. I have no clue where she learned it, unfortunately for her the song didn't work. She still had to go to bed.
