Anniversary

WOW! Time has flown by sooo fast for me. Today marks the anniversary of my first day here at Industrial Supply. I remember they day I heard about this position. I received an unexpected call from a dear friend that I worked with in UPS Freight Claims Dept.



After our normal small talk of how are you's and what are you up to's, I told her I was looking for a different job. She said she thought I was ok with work, but had me remember a customer that she exclusively processed claims for. I knew right off who she was talking about because the claims we always illegible and hard to read and I'd actually made fun of this "Jeff" guy that turned them in. It turned out that he was the one who was looking for someone to work for him. I took down his number and gave him a call. He asked me to come and see him for an interview.



When I arrived at the red brick building, I was very nervous and felt out of place when I walked in. The receptionist greeted me rudely and called Jeff to tell him the "young lady" is here to see him. I was escorted to the back of the building where his office was where I saw this short balding man sitting behind his big desk on the phone. I stood there waiting for him to finish. He plopped the phone done on the base and greeted me. He was very nice and had a strong hand shake. I gave my most polite smile and shook back while introducing myself.

After the interview I went back to my job at SunTrust and Jeff called. He told me right there on the spot to turn in my 2 weeks notice. I had got the job, and even a few days of vacation to go along with it.

That was last year...And here I am today! I am not able to remember names and faces, I have been promoted to accounting, I have learned more than any other person who has been in this position, and most importantly....I HAVE VACATION DAYS!!!!!!!
