This is an Ode to life in general. Since I returned home from Phoenix, it has been a very interesting time. Baby Fine is due any day, but Bella is ready to pop. Not to mention she has been very ill for the last three days. All things combined have made for a very stressful 10 days. At work, I have been informed that there will possibly be promotional opportunities in the near future. I was so elated to begin with, but as time passed, I realized the way my supervisor described the position, it was basically lined up for Victoria, my arch-nemesis to take that spot. I have been incredibly stress over this because I do not want to work for her. If she got that position, I would report directly to her. I have since asked Heavenly Father to help me deal with this added stress and bless me that I will know everything is working out this way for a reason. I may end up moving the family down to Phoenix after all. ;-) In addition to this crazy news, everyone has been on edge at work lately. It is crazy to think that people have actually argued over music volume in the next cube. I truly feel that things are not going to turn out the way I want, but I pray that my supervisor sees through the cloud of smoke Victoria is putting up. I am going to dispel the rumors floating around and remember my priorities. I am so excited to have Baby Fine joining our family soon. It is hard to believe we will actually have a boy running around soon. I am grateful for all of the blessings we receive on a daily basis. My beautiful wife reminds me constantly that I am expecting things to happen without doing my part. That can only happen so much before Heavenly Father decides that I am in need of humility and opportunities to learn and grow, rather than the worldly success.
I am reading a wonderful book by Lee Cockerell, the former executive director of operations at Disney, and he describes effective leadership and customer service. I am almost excited about reading more. I want to lead my team in the same way he is describing in this book. I would take a job at Disney, simply based on what he is describing in this book. Time will tell. We have been very successful at getting stuff done around the house. We finally got the trim up in my oldest's room and shelves in the closet to boot! I finally found something that I dislike about our new van. It took me 90 minutes in the cold to move our bucket seat over to the middle to accommodate another car seat. I am optimistic about the future. There are great things in store. I told Bella that I can no longer hate February because our son will be born at that time. I have a feeling I will know soon enough about the job, but at this point, I need to focus on other things.
