Last Day

Well today is my last day at CED 8816. Come monday morning I'll officially be employed by CED Huntsville. I have enjoyed my time here in Tuscaloosa. I have learned a lot about this business over the last couple of years. I've had some great teachers here, and work with some wonderful people. Lance, our other outside salesman besides me, has been depressed all day. He knows that life as he knows it is going to start sucking Monday morning when he gets to the office. Not only is going to have a bigger work load by taking over many of my customers, but he is not going to have anybody in the office to play around with anymore. Lance has been here with us for a little over a year now, and he has truly become one of my best friends and I will definitely miss hanging out with him everyday, and messing with his computer when he is out of the office. Lance is VERY computer illiterate, so when i do things to his computer, he is at my mercy until I decide it is time to fix it for him b/c he has no idea how to do anything!!! I'm definitely gonna miss Mama (joanie), our purchasing agent, and really is the one in charge, not Jay, the manager. He just thinks he is. And i'm definitely gonna miss Connie, our A/R - A/P. She is a freakin nut. We could sit around and talk to her like she is one of the guys, except that you cant talk about doo doo around her, that grosses her out. Russell has helped me out tremendously since I have been here. He is a freakin electrical guru. If he aint heard of it, it dont exist and you dont know what you're talking about. I have to say, overall, my two years at Tuscaloosa was a very enjoyable one and i wouldnt trade it for much of nothing.

Now, as far as Huntsville goes, I'm not to sure how that is going to go. I had Jay as my boss in T'town, and he knew that I knew what I was doing, and I was gonna get my stuff done and make him some money. He was a mAcromanager. As long as my job got done, he left me alone and was happy to do so. Now Chris (Huntsville manager), from what I hear and can figure out from being around him, he is VERY much a mIcromanager and wants to have his hands in everything that goes on in his location. I don't know how yet I'm gonna respond to that. But I guess only time will tell. I do know, that my apartment up there is less than five minutes from the office. And i'm used to driving just under an hour each way for work for that last three years. So i'll have a little extra time on my hands for the next few months (yes Ashley, FEW MONTHS). So i guess i'll try to spend that extra time in the gym and playing with my pup, Bella.

I know that Huntsville is a little farther from Birmingham than Tuscaloosa is, and I'll actually be living in Huntsville, unlike when i worked in Tuscaloosa. And that has Ashley worried. She is not crazy about me moving up there at all. And all truth be told, i'm not either. I am going to miss her like crazy during the week. But I will be staying with her at her place on weekends and then driving to work from Gardendale on Monday mornings, and coming to see her and stay with on one night a week, like Wednesday night probably. She doesn't believe I'll actually follow thru with it I don't think, but I'm determined to prove her wrong!!! :) It will be hard because we have grown accustomed to seeing each other every day, so it will be different. But you know what they say, "absense makes the heart grown fonder". And I'm sure it will. Because I truly do love her SO MUCH!!! She is a great woman, girlfriend, and friend. I cannot picture my life without her. I have truly found the best girl a guy could ask for in her. She thinks that she never does anything right in my eyes sometimes, but that is very far from the truth. She is just about as close to perfect as I could possibly ever find. She does put me in a mood every once in a while, but who doesn't? It's only natural. But it never really takes me long to get over it. I love her too much to let the little things bother me that bad.

So, while one part of my life is ending, another is beginning. It is not starting out the exact way me or Ashley wishes it would, but I'm 100% sure that everything is gonna work itself out just fine. I just feel in my soul, that God has a special plan for "Adam & Ashley". So, to sum things up, I'm very much looking forward to the future and cannot wait to see what it holds in store for us!!!!
