We're Moving!!

Phoenix, Arizona here be come.  I've finally decided to take a full time Avaya Telecom position with my company(CVS for those who don't remember) in Scottsdale, Arizona.  It's taken me almost three years of on and off talks about going out there, and it's finally coming to fruition.   I've never lived anywhere except the Baltimore/DC area, so this is both extremely exciting and petrifying all at the same time.  I don't have a time line for the move of yet, because my little divison on CVS decided that they want to put up a fight.   My first lesson in this move process appears to be patience.  I will need it as "the suits" are deciding my fate.  I must say, it's not the most comfortable feeling in the world to have someone else deciding your career path, and you get little to no input.  I really wan't this job, so I'm willing to be patient and wait them out.   Hopefully I'll get some kind of information in the next day or so.  Going to work everyday in limbo is not fun at all.

Obviously, the direction of the blog now will be "move-centric".  I'll be sharing my experiences, feelings, ups and downs as we go along.    Thanks for coming back and reading, and I hope you enjoy the ride!

Friday Morning Funny....

I don't often get blog-worthy material this early in the day, but I HAD to share this.
Most of you know I administer an Avaya telephone system at work. I got a call this morning because we had a nurse leave the company recently. No one told us she left so we didn't remove her voicemail and phone station. She worked remotely, so she had set her voicemail box up to call her company cell phone to notify her that she had a message. The company canceled her cell phone, and Sprint gave the number to a new subscriber, for the sake of this blog we'll call him Manuel. Someone had left this former employee a message and my voicemail system was calling her old cell phone number every 15 minutes 24 hours a day. The system will do that until you retrieve the message. I felt bad for Manuel when I heard about this and fixed the issue as quickly as I could. The funny part of this is the message that Manuel left in the mailbox that was calling him. The emphasis he put on the phrase "all day long and all night long" in reference to how many calls he was getting was hysterical. I loved it. I also called Manuel and apologized for the inconvenience. It still made me laugh though. Happy Friday!
