Let's see, what's new. Well, I graduated from UNLV with my Masters in Criminal Justice in May 2010. What a huge accomplishment eh? Except, the funny part is I don't feel like I really did anything. I think the program flew by way too fast. I am ready to go back.
Post graduation I accepted a job for a nonprofit to help at-risk youth, both those under the supervision of DHS, DOC and foster. Well, after two months the place started to sink and laid off roughly 50% of employees.. myself included. So -- I was fairly discouraged there for a while. I really disliked the job anyway so I felt a little relieved when I got home that day.
A month later I was hired with Target. (Wooo!) I am an executive team leader for assets protection. Basically these means I am in charge of protecting assets including team members, guests, and Target product for 1 store in the Las Vegas market. I am just now starting my second week of training, about 5 more to go after this! I love it so far. I am surrounded by great people who are very helpful with aiding me in my training.
I have decided to go back to church. Steve loves me enough to give it another shot also. He had a fairly negative experience when he was younger, and has lost most of his faith. It's a personal goal of mine to facilitate the encouragement to try and help him strengthen this dull faith. We will see how it goes!
Other then that - I am doing well. Really miss home - hoping to transfer to a different Target store in a year or so in the Pac NW area. I miss the rain, the snow, the hole in the wall bars, my family, voodoo donuts, Lincoln City, Pike Place Market, etc.
Well - time to crawl into bed. Working 11 hour days!
