B-O-R-I-N-G

Hey all. I hope and pray that y'all are doing well. There really isn't a whole lot going on here that is too newsworthy. Work is going well. Winding down the fiscal year, which means that come first part of June, I am going to get really really busy starting the annual projects that have to be done. Most of June I am going to be putting in some crazy hours. I will be doing ride alongs with the Contractors and their drivers. Also Roy and his wife are expecting a baby in mid-June so that will keep me in the building for some longer hours for at least one week.

After that, who knows? I have been exchanging emails with two facility managers in Florida about transferring down there. One is actually in Tampa, which by the way, is our 2nd largest delivery facility in the company. Another is in Bradenton, which is going to be a brand new facility opening in late June. I was told by the manager there that she would like for me to apply when the jobs there post to our internal board. I will definitely apply.

Before you go thinking it...no, Amber is NOT the ONLY reason I would want to go to Florida. Is she a HUGE reason I would? Yes, of course, but at the same time, I feel bored here. I've felt that way before and gotten myself out of the funk within a couple of weeks, but this one has lasted a while. Everything here is going well and I no longer feel challenged. Yes I have my challenging days, but as a whole...no challenge. I truly feel as if I have accomplished what I need to here and that God is opening new doors, avenues, and possibilities to me for a reason.

If I went to Bradenton, the new facility, it would be a HUGE challenge. Opening new buildings are always a chore. Probably moreso than I can even imagine. It would be a very difficult task. Am I up for it? I think so...but even if I'm not, at least I'll know. I've learned to never let pride get in the way of asking for help. If I could get the job there, open it successfully, then the sky's the limit. That looks good on a resume!

If I go to Tampa, then the old "tried and true" methods are in place in a building that is already running pretty smoothly. So...if I go in there and bomb...then that looks bad...but if I go in and do great..then it looks like I can "keep up". There are a lot of pros and cons to each facility, and I will definitely keep praying about it and seeing how things go and where God seems to lead me.

Either way, I am closer to Amber :) I think that it will be great for our relationship to have more of the day to day, face to face interaction. I truly feel as if it will bring us closer together on many levels and that it will be a great thing for our relationship. She is the most wonderful blessing I have ever received and I love her very much. I am excited about where I feel this is headed and can't wait to see where we end up :)

See? Pretty boring! Please keep my *possible* move in your prayers. If I do get a transfer, please pray that the right facility offers me a job.

~God Bless~
