I’m officially graduated from training at work and am a Blue Cross Blue Shield claims processor. The pay raise was nice and now I’m just waiting for my very own desk! I’ve graduated upstairs to the processing department and I’ve been working at absent employee’s desks until they can get me one that has all the programs on the computers that I need to do my work. Hopefully Monday that will happen. Until that happens I’m carrying all the items from my old training desk in a huge book bag. It’s port-a-desk! Heavy and giving me back trouble is more like it. It’s ok though I know that three people left my team on Friday to go to the adjustments department so I know of at least three available desks. (ha, ha!) I told everyone I would let you all know when I graduated out to the real world of claims, and I’ve finally done it!
Life at home is going great! My son had his first week of perfect behavior at school since it started. We were so stoked, we took him to Chuck E Cheese Friday night to celebrate. It’s the first time I’ve ever been to Chuck E Cheese (and I’m 31). It was pretty fun. The pizza was greasy, the dessert was fattening and the games were cheesy! Where a kid can be a kid. (And an adult can make herself look like a fool when she wins tickets….)
Today was wasted sleeping and doing nothing. At least I got the dishes done, that’s about it. I think that I’ve had enough of lounging for my week though. Tomorrow it’s laundry and chore day so I should enjoy the downtime while I have it! I worked my arse off this week trying to get claims done perfectly so I could graduate out onto the claims floor, and I did it now I’m brain dead. Time for some much needed brainless activity. WORLD OF WARCRAFT! (totally kidding, it’s definitely not brainless). I finally got my character to 34 and I’m happy. It’s been a tedious process but worth the effort.
If anything cool happens I’ll let you all know, until then: enjoy life, have fun and love with hopeless abandon! =D
