Today turned out being much more intense than I had anticipated. My boss's boss's boss brought up my name during a meeting and why I wasn't on the path to management. I'm not sure if it's due to seniority or my skill set but it's flattering and nerve wracking at the same time. I've been pondering the leap to management for a couple weeks but I just don't think my heart is in it yet. My mom wants me to do it just for the money but I don't think I can compromise my love of the job for money. I need some more time to try and make a difference and make an even better name for myself. I did post for my dream job today! Here's hoping I get another chance to interview in Sept. I really really want this! I think my path is trainer first, then into management, maybe once I'm too old to climb a roof or I really want to be at home or I can no longer say no to the money.
The whole situation stressed me out and made me really question myself and if I'm selling myself short. I don't think I am and need to stay on my path. The guys in the office even noticed I was wound up today. What really pushed me over the edge is finding out anyone with 200 days is out ASAP. I'm at 197! Seriously this is total BS. I have no claims for Friday, and will be done with the rest on Saturday. I have a handful that need to wait until next week due to people being on vacation. I'm so over having to ask for work. They blame the new system, but in reality nobody's been paying attention, they just wanted to close the claims we had. I asked how many we get in a day and no one could answer. This tells me just how poorly the storm has been run. Reports should be out everyday and counts should be known.
The best is that even though we are shutting down in WV we could potentially go work in VA or NC. I will be irate if that happens! I want to get back home and working for my own zone and boss. I feel like this storm has done nothing but put my goals back a little bit farther than I wanted. I've whined every day I've been here, not in the office but still I've whined. I know I've made my choice to not take anything away from this storm, but at least I made one hell of an impression. Everyone calls me rockstar because I've closed the most claims in the shortest amount of time. There are people who have been here 6 weeks and not closed the amount I have.
And now it's time for some beach volleyball. Here's hoping I can stay awake to watch the whole thing. This blasted heat is wiping me out!
