I’d like to acknowledge my recently acquired membership….
to Geek Squad. Not that I’m really a member, but I might as well be. This is my current “office” set-up in my hotel room. How many monitors can a girl have?? Believe me, I feel like a GEEK. I’m glad to report, however, that two of the three are mandatory per my employer and Mr Mac is mandatory per moi! Sadly, this isn’t even ALL of my equipment, there is the printer and fax machine, which will NOT be set up in my room, just too much going on. Needless to say, I’ve been looking for a desk for my non-existent home office that will suit me just perfectly. It’s been quite the process, I want it to be just the right desk, considering this is a rather large investment and office furniture is not cheap. I think I’ve narrowed it down; hopefully I’ll place the order in the upcoming weeks when I actually have an idea of where I might be living, I’ll give a sneak peek after I order.
So an update on my actual job….All of my training has been taking place here in the hotel and things have been going fairly well. I’m learning more and more by the minute.. I’m going to be a genius when all is said and done. Maybe not a genius but pretty darn close. I love what I’m learning and I love what I’m doing. (Something must be wrong with me, who LOVES insurance???) It definitely helps that I have prior knowledge of the insurance industry, otherwise my friends, I’m pretty confident I’d be SOL. I’ve been reading, and reading, and reading… boring. Reading is not my favorite thing, especially if it isn’t for pleasure. I feel like I’m not learning anything… I learn by actually DOING. But I’m forcing myself to get through all of this reading because I know I’ll absorb some teensy bit of info somewhere in between the fine print. In between reading and training I’ve been on the phone with IT for half my life time figuring out some computer issues. I’m amazed at technology and what they are capable of doing remotely. Honestly, I was on the phone for over an hour the other day while they monkeyed around with my settings and everything else. It was worth my precious time because I’m all set to go for my training here on out. My heart goes out to all of you geek squad members, my life would not be the same without your mere existence to take care of my petty computer problems.
Hopefully things will continue to progress! 
Off to the pool.
I also think that you can continue in progress, It’s a great thing.
