Just An Update

Well, let's see...

Back in my February post, I forgot to mention that I had applied for some financial help from Social Security. In doing that, they also put me through for disability. I still don't know anything yet on either...but have had 1 doctor's appointment and another one to go for the disability. Hopefully, I will know SOMETHING soon!

Anyway, I've been working at home now for a month. Still loving it, but not quite happy with the program I'm on. About two weeks ago, I did a little research on the program that I'm working for through Alpine Access. Hmm, some interesting things were found. All this was sparked after I'd had several calls where the customers mentioned the BBB (Better Business Bureau). So, I did a little digging. Needless to say, the program I'm working for, GNS (Global Nutrition Sciences) was kicked out of the BBB and has an "F" rating. I wasn't shocked much, since customers had mentioned that they had checked out the company. Anyway, I decided that I just can't possibly continue working for a program that has that kind of rating with the BBB. That rating has nothing to do with Alpine Access, they have an "A+" rating. So, I decided that as soon as another program came along that could accomodate the hours/days I need, I would switch. That opportunity has arrived. It's doing customer service and tech support for a cell phone company (Sprint, I think) for PDA's, Blackberry's, etc. While I do not have one of those such phones, it's not required. Basic cell phone knowledge, texting and emailing are minimum requirements! Hopefully, I will be able to switch to this program in which I will get $2/hr more, benefits and better customers!

Another thing...I have SHORT hair now. It's just about 1/2 inch below my ears. Did it myself and it looks DANG good too! When I feel up to taking some pics of myself, I will post one here so you can see! Ok...that's all the wonderful news for now.
