True Life

I have been rebuked!

2009-08-11T20:01:00.003-05:00

To all my blog readers out there (Allyson - lol), I'm sorry I haven't blogged lately. Allyson jumped my case of Facebook for not blogging in a long time. Well, since January...ha! I honestly forgot about it. I guess I can update things.

I didn't get the job as Assistant Branch Manager in January, which was a blessing from God. With things going the way they are for Colonial Bank (just search Google News for Colonial Bank, I hope you have a while to read), I would be under a great deal more stress than I already am, had I been promoted into management. I did accept a promotion April 20th to Regional Branch Specialist. That's a big fancy name for floating teller. I work wherever they need me in the region. I work as a teller and help with loans. I'm also supposed to help with new accounts, but I haven't been to training so I pretty much just work as a teller. I'm really nervous about what's going on with Colonial, but since there's nothing I can do about it, I do my best to ignore it.

I'm starting back to class soon. My two books cost over $200 each! Absolutely ridiculous, but once again, not much I can do. Classes start August 26th, and my classes are on Tuesday & Wednesday 6:15 pm - 9:15 pm. I'm taking Business Policy & Strategy and Collective Bargaining. Neither is going to be any fun at all.

I'm also working with others from Leatherwood Baptist Church's Singles Ministry on our Judgment Walk. It's our own version of those Judgment Houses that scare people, but we present real-life situations and the gospel, without trying to scare someone into a decision. It's our third year, and we're looking forward to God changing lives!

One more thing before I go...I DO NOT like this new health care plan being proposed by Obama and his minions. Any Alabama congressperson that votes for the plan will not have my vote at the midterm elections. I'll actually actively campaign against them. That's how I roll.

I hope this is satisfactory in bringing my blog readers (aka Allyson) up to date.

Another day in the life of the Keith

Today is Saturday, and I have to be the most boring 23-year old alive! I went out with some friends from the Singles group at my church last night. We went to eat at Ruby Tuesday (so we could visit with Jessica, a girl from our group that works there) and then saw Underworld 3 at the Gadsden Mall theater (that movie was great by the way). I woke up this morning, made a deposit at the bank, then went to the library to work on school stuff from 10 to 3. Now, I'm at home getting ready to do some more homework. (YaY!) Hopefully I will make sufficient progress to warrant playing ultimate frisbee tonight at JSU. I've never played before so I'll probably be embarrassing myself around 9:15 pm tonight.

Also, I was tagged by Allyson to post a picture and tell about it. I don't have any albums on blogger because I don't know how so I just picked a random picture from my computer. This picture was taken on a church retreat last year. I love hiking and exploring the outdoors, which is shown in this picture. I was crossing a creek using some rocks. Luckily, I didn't slip and fall into the freezing cold water!

First one!

I'm not sure what to blog about so I'll start with my life! (This should be interesting!) Today was a little on the crazy side, I'm nervously waiting for Colonial Bank to decide on whether or not I'm being promoted to Assistant Branch Manager. I know I need to be patient, but patience is definitely not one of my strengths. Assistant Manager is a BIG jump for a part-time teller so if I do get the job, it will be interesting to say the least. I've bitten off more than I can chew as far as classes go this semester, one of my classes requires 3 papers! (I don't do papers...) 2 of my other classes requires CONSTANT reading. I stay so busy all the time that if I stop to read something I will be asleep within 15 minutes. Speaking of sleep...I'm going to end this first blog entry because I'm sleepy and don't know what else to put on this thing yet. Thanks for reading!
