Thirty Days of Thanks Two

I can't believe that it has already been a year since I started doing my Thirty Days of Thanks. I have always been a bit different, so I decide to do my thankful posts the month of my birthday. Last year I noticed that when I am looking for things to be grateful for my life is better. It turns out that I have too many things to be thankful for. So, I decided to do it again this year.

I am so thankful for my job. I don't think I ever explained what my job was. I am an assistant to Louise Brown who is in charge of  Public Affairs for the LDS Business College.

This past August I asked if I could have a meeting with her to talk about Public Relations. I am looking at going into it for my profession. We had a great hour meeting and I told her I was looking for a new job. Well, a few days later she called to tell me about an opportunity at the Governor's office. I filled out the application and sent my resume to the Governor's office. Louise also asked me to bring my resume to her office. An hour after I gave my resume to her she asked me to come to her office. I was offered a position and I am very blessed.

I was hired to help with Program Advisory Boards. I call, email, and coordinate breakfast to meet with members who are influential and very successful in the area to come and mentor our academic programs. I also speak with the head of the academic programs frequently.  It has been a job that has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I am often given assignments that I have no idea what to do. I accept the assignment and hope it goes well. Luckily, I have been blessed to make it through all of them. I also help with the Employment Center. I work under Wyn Dunford, yes his family did start Dunford bread, and Arnie Allred, and Craig Nelson. There are other people I work with as well.

I am thankful that I have a job where I get to learn things daily. Before this job I was working in a parking booth. I am people-oriented and it killed me that I was not able to talk to people. I am very happy with my job. I am thankful that I get to continue to work at this job.
