My expericence working at AMP

I should probably let you all know that as I worked my 3 jobs during the summer, I started to feel exhausted and overworked, and because of my fatigue I wasn't able to give 100% in all 3 job environments. So even though I would have loved to keep all three jobs of ABA Therapy, Custodial at BYU, and the AMP Call Center, I decided to end my time working with Tate in ABA Therapy in July, and continued working with my Custodial job and AMP.

As school began to approach in the fall I was aware I could not keep both jobs, and I began to wonder if either job was right for me to keep with my school schedule after summer ends. With the custodial work, church had taken a back seat in my life, and I didn't want that to continue being a problem in my life. So I made the decision to end things with my custodial job, even though I had achieved a promotion as the WILK Weekend Crew Restroom Supervisor.

This left me working AMP in September, but even then I didn't have a secure position in office for the off season. So I decided to take a chance, and was told that I had a very good chance...with fingers crossed I decided to go out on a limb.

So, originally I started working at the AMP corporate office in Orem, UT in late March. Alex, my brother-in-law has wanted me to do summer sales with him for a long time now. He thought it might be good to get me acquainted with the AMP company, that he was working for as a sale rep, by spending some time working in the call center and learning about how things work there. I actually started working with the home security system industry last fall while working for the collections department at Icon Security (before they went under that is). I learned a lot while working with Icon, and built a good foundation and back bone for me to transition into work at AMP. I must admit it's really interesting to learn about all the different angles that a company must work from to run a successful business.

I am definitely grateful for this opportunity to develop skills that challenge my mind and offer me more life experiences to grow and learn from. I recognize that working at AMP really has been a blessing, and helped me develop greater qualities as a person, more backbone, more desire to work hard and work together with a team. I don't know how or by what odds I was chosen over several others who wanted to keep their jobs, but I am positive that I didn't achieve this solely on my own. Heavenly Father has guided me through this pathway that lead me to try new things and see the world with new eyes. Thanks Alex and Ligia for pushing me to work at AMP! It's been a great journey thus far.Remove Formatting from selection

A Few of My Favorite Things That Start with the Letter "M"

My childhood friend, Amy, posted a blog with ten things that all started with the same letter! Her cousin gave her the letter she used, and then after reading her funny blog entry filled with thing's that started with the letter "K," I asked Amy to give me a letter! She gave me my letter of "M." Being skeptical, I thought this would be hard, but a list of 10 quickly became a list of 21, so I went back, and chose my top ten to share with y'all. And here's what I came up with . Ten Things I Like That Start with the Letter "M": 1. Mother. Well, this was the first thing that came to my mind when thinking of the letter "M". The sweet image of my dear mother. If any of you know anything about my mother...you've probably heard me mention how crazy she is! But what I mean by crazy is that I don't know where she gets all her energy from, at the whopping age of 29 years old (Haha! Or so she'll tell you that she's that ...

My Happy List 2020!

Looking back on old posts that I saved as drafts, I came across this one.  And overall, thought that this is a great one!  I have got to make an updated post and finish it.  So here it is! I used to make happy lists...my best friend and past roommate, Tiffany can attest to this. I would make a happy list for myself while I lived in the dorms, and I shared it with her. And she knew that if I was having a rough day or a difficult time, she would resort to my happy list to brighten up my spirits again. It really was an inspiring tool for me to use at times when I was sad. I think everyone should have a happy list, and constantly be make updates or modifications to things that make you happy. Hmmmm....I wish I kept a copy of my of my original "Happy List," so I'll do what I can and try to remember what was on my original Happy List, while conducting a new Happy List of things that make me happy today.

Lost Your Muchness?

It’s funny how I wait long periods of time to write about my life, before I get that itch to write again.  Considering how much I enjoy writing my thoughts, I also don’t like the work that it takes to write out all my thoughts to my satisfaction.  The benefit of blog, is much like that of a journal.  It does not require extensive perfection in editing, the thoughts don’t even have to make perfect sense.  The beauty of writing and documenting our life’s experiences, or thoughts, has more to do with documenting these ideas to either share them with others, or reflect back on them at a later time.  I think I need to re-evaluate why I blog again…the truth is, I write because I find it very therapeutic to my emotional needs and find great peace in putting my thoughts into words instead of storing them in my head for just myself.  My single, adult, lonely self.  There is great beauty in sharing our thoughts with others, the world, or outside of ourselves. ...
