Title: Update - Attitude Adjustment Post by: mlm668 on July 26, 2001, 09:05:32 pm Well, I went in this morning and talked to my boss about my fall classes. I let him know I got the bill yesterday and that before I turned it over I needed to drop the computer class I registered for - I'm being excused from the requirement because of my working knowledge/experience level. Anyway, I asked him plain and simple if, while things are so slow, could I take a day class provided it is first thing in the morning. He agreed. His only condition was that I try to schedule it so it doesn't interfere with my getting payroll done which isn't a problem. I found a class that I can take M,W,F at 8:00 a.m. and I do payroll on Tuesdays.
Then when I started working on filling out an EEO form, I found out that I hadn't recreated that in Excel yet. Didn't take me long, but it was something to do that required thought. To make the day even better, I got an A on my research paper. My attitude has improved tenfold. I hope this is all a sign of good things to come. Thank you all for your suggestions. Like I said I would do, I've read over them a few times......and I'm saving them to review when I get into another slump. And CG, I like your suggestion of a database to track correspondence/documents, but 2nd bossie is planning on purchasing a program called Expedition which does that. They are already using it at the jobsite office because the GC uses it. I can't wait to learn that one. It will be my responsibility to do the data entry once we get it. Thanks again ladies. Hope you have a great Friday and a great weekend. M Title: Re: Update - Attitude Adjustment Post by: Katie G on July 27, 2001, 07:29:51 am MLM,

I've been putting off doing this for years for one reason or another - kids being to young and needing me at home, money, not enough time. This year, I decided that it was now or never. I'm only going for my Associate's right now and then after that I will decide if I want or should go further.
