It was all good.&nbsp; Then right before lunch an all staff meeting was called for 4:30 with the CEO.&nbsp; Ohhhh scary!!!&nbsp; Not if its your last day.&nbsp; So while I go in the meeting basically not giving a fuck, I saw some pretty worried faces when the CEO mentions periods of transformation.&nbsp; End result?&nbsp; 2-3 of some of the higher ups got fired and the highest got bumped down to make room for the new manager of the dept.&nbsp; Its one thing to tell people to diversify their income because a job can fire you at anytime.&nbsp; But its a whole other thing to see it happen in front of your eyes.&nbsp; I left that meeting pretty sad.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><b>Return of the Jimi<br \/><\/b><br \/>Its good to know that some people never change.&nbsp; Thats all I got to say about that but take a look at the private post for what I really want to say.<\/p>\n<p><b>IT!<\/p>\n<p><\/b>The IT dept of the OCBENJI Business is taking off more and more these days.&nbsp; I love my clients both present and future \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n<p><b>Taxin&#8217; that ass!<\/p>\n<p><\/b>My new job title is VITA Coordinator for the Richards St. Location.&nbsp; Its a huge bump up in pay which helps a little but being done on April 30th is the real reason the job puts a smile on my face.&nbsp; I also decided to add a tax portion to the OCBENJI Business which will help keep me busy.<\/p>\n<p><b>XXXmas<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Well actually it was pretty family-friendly but I couldn&#8217;t resist.&nbsp; I was reminded of my childhood holidays this christmas.&nbsp; And it was kinda weird watching Aden run around with his cousins like probably did in that same house.&nbsp; I also learned that one of my uncles has been working for the IRS for the last 20 years and he suggested that if I was finally ready to make that jump to full time that I would have his support.&nbsp; I watched my little brother take a more leadership role in things.&nbsp; Its funny to see how things can change when I take a year or two off.&nbsp; I looked around and realized that vast amount of history that surrounded me as I talked with my aunts and uncles I really have enough to make a good movie.&nbsp; I&#8217;ll add that to my to do list.&nbsp; I took lots of pictures of all the kids opening presents and such.&nbsp; Aden was in heaven!&nbsp; Good times were had by all.<\/p>\n<p>Well that was the nice and clean version of everything you missed.<br \/><b><br \/><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To the 2-3 people who actually read this: Sorry that I haven&#8217;t shown much love to the public post lately.&nbsp;
