My supervisor sent out an email asking for people to email him back if they were interested in volunteering to be the Team Captain. Basically it would entail taking on a couple of extra duties to help out the team, without any change in title or pay.... and I sent and email back with a few sentences stating why I thought I would be good at it.
I normally do not volunteer myself like that, and I still am not sure why I did... except I guess for the first time ever, I actually see myself *wanting* to move up and work hard to actually get promoted within a company. I actually find myself *wanting* to move up to the Lead Queue, and maybe even internal IT/Tech Support or heaven forbid, become a Trainer. It's a rather odd feeling, but I really don't feel all that weird about it. More like awe that I actually did it.
I was also in a rather odd very cheerful mood most of the day. Maybe it has something to due with the fact that tomorrow's my Friday... or maybe it's like I told a coworker... there was like 2 inches of sugar in the bottom of my coffee. Either way, it definitely was a good day. :) I didn't have any bad calls, and I still managed to sell a few features today to add to my ever-growing pile of commission that will get paid out at the end of August.
Today was rather slow too, which helps. :) I started reading Mercedes Lackey's The Last Herald-Mage series. I am very nearly to the end of the first book in the series. I will likely finish it tonight and start the second book either later tonight or tomorrow during my lunch break, since I know I will not have time in between calls as it's always busy on Mondays.
I have an eye appointment on Tuesday. Now that I have vision insurance again, I am going to get a new pair of glasses since it is covered by the vision insurance we get at Alltel. Then perhaps next year, I will get contacts again. It will be good to have a decent pair of frames again. The pair I have broke awhile back and one of the ear pieces doesn't even fit the frames very well, but they work enough that I can still wear them and see out of them.
