Hurdle #1 now behind me.

I found out today that I passed the management assessment test and now I am simply waiting on my background check results to begin training as a supervisor at work. This is exciting news! I am certain it will be a difficult road to travel but I am also certain it will be a great positive step in my life. The financial stability alone is extremely valuable to me! The experience will only help to improve my future plans as a creative producer, whether that be directing specifically, or anything else that I find in the creative field. Fun times! Big brown for the win!(not poo, I mean)

Almost there.

Literal system crash has prevented me from finding out my test results thus far but that looks to be remedied by today. It was a good day outside of that, though, so I can be happy enough for that... even if this journal entry is abysmally short because of it. Ha.

Back on the upswing.

Today was a somewhat unexpected, though totally appreciated, positive emotional boost. Things just went well, and were fun, and showed me a little life love in the mix. Tomorrow I find out about my possible promotion, and I think I did alright on my test last Friday, so it should prove to be another big plus in the coming week. I may even get my internship stuff moving if I am diligent... which I plan to be diligent. So, ya, good stuff!

Going for the 4-5 hour experience.

So, I suppose I should have thought of it earlier, but now I am glad to realize that I can visit the singles branch for their last two hours anyway. It is a nice thing that makes me a little more excited about church again. I am not sure how often, or how long, I will do it but it certainly seems good for easing my transition away from them. Life is better with them, in my opinion. Ha.

Shooting commercials can be fun.

Today's shoot certainly was, anyway. It probably helps that both of the folks that I was working with are fun people, and the talent was fun too. I know this will not always be the case, though, so I am ready for the less fun commercial shoots to happen in the future. This shoot was almost entirely at our discretion as well, and I am sure that played a huge part in the fun factor of it. Flexibility is definitely a desirable feature of any creative endeavor!

Assessment is an interesting term.

I know the test I took at work this morning was for my employer's assessment of me, as a potential supervisor, but as it made me examine myself in the process I found it to be unexpectedly interesting. I had to think about the actual ways I would treat various challenging situations, some of which were not really something that I think even could happen to me in real life, but the hypothetical imaginings were a fun challenge anyway. I guess the process of simply putting yourself in hypothetical situations is a reasonably useful practice to engage in from time to time.

Basketballness!

I have probably said it many times before(I am sure I have said it before, in all reality) but I really love basketball season. I love playing organized games even with referee challenges, technical fouls, ejected players, and every other seemingly bad thing that comes along with it all. I guess I like running, passing, and shooting a lot since that's pretty much what the game is mostly made of. These are the finer things in life to me!
