Here’s an update to my moving up in the world.
The house offer was accepted, and things are progressing quickly with this. I am even currently set to close on April 5th. It does appear that parts of the inspection were not great. However, my realtor and I are working to add an addendum to the sale to get a new roof and water heater. This should take care of the two primary concerns.
The second part of my update comes from a new promotion at work. I am now an official supervisor (no longer just a shift lead) for the Security department. I am very excited about the formal title as well as the nice raise that came with it. Of course, I’m still doing the same thing I was before which does have something to do with the promotion. As I was told by my supervisor and one of the other supervisors in the department I am already doing the work, so I might as well have the title.
In other work, another audio gig has been added for my company. However, this is for an open mic night. Although we are set up to run such an event, this is a new type of event for us. However, it seems to be slowly picking up and looking better.
Things are definitely going good and all falling into place, and I keep looking for things to get even better.
I’ve been doing some house hunting lately (house traps are not easy to come by), and it’s going much better than I expected. I’ve found a place that I like, and I don’t even have to move too far. Things will take some time to have everything approved of course, and, at this stage, I’m just waiting for the offer to be approved. I am looking forward to having a place of my own though, and this place seems to be pretty awesome. This will be my first house buy as well, so I am excited for that, also.
My business is going good, too. I am picking up some extra DJ gigs in addition to the regular weekly shows (which there are currently four of). Hopefully those will be able to stay going as well. I had some fun working the most recent one in a Macy’s with freeze models. It was amusing to watch the people walk by and stop to take pictures.
It’s been pretty busy at the regular job, too. Of course, I’m hoping that more business there will trickle down to help cushion our pockets as well. I suppose we’ll see how that works out though.
Not much else to report on currently. I just figured the few big things here were enough to warrant mention, and I’ll keep on moving on.
As you can see from the title of this blog entry, I have received a promotion at my job to the position of Security Shift Lead. This starts me off into the management team, and I now have seven people who are on my team. I am looking forward to working with the people and helping them to improve as well as helping the department to improve. Of course, having the extra access, no quota, and being on salary are kind of nice as well.
For the new position, I have been training all week, and I start my new schedule on Monday. Instead of working my previous Wednesday through Sunday, 3 AM till noon schedule, I will be moving to Monday through Friday, 5 PM till 2 AM. This will be awesome as I will now be able to get more of a regular sleep schedule.
For part two of the blog title, I am taking my first real weekend to visit with my Brother, Sister-in-law, and niece. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to do this, but I am hoping, with my new schedule, that I will be able to do so much more often. Of course, Labor day weekend means there are a lot of people going all over the place on the roads. However, I was able to make the trip without issue. The only drawback so far is that I am unable to catch the University of Houston home opener game since my brother does not have a subscription which includes the channel on which the game is being broadcasted. So, I am stuck watching University of Texas.
Well, not much more to put for now. However, I do want to try to make updates more often, so I figured I’d throw one in here. Until next time…
