Rockstar

These past two months have been super crazy. I made a decision that changed me and my whole world. I know it sounds crazy but when I was at my old job, I just felt trapped. When I first started there I loved it and things were great. After a little while I just started hating everything I was doing, I took out my anger and depression out on my friend/co-workers. I would get upset over the littlest of things. So I made a choice that I probably should have done a long time ago, I asked myself what I wanted. I asked what is best for Nicole, not Tom, not Jackson. I felt selfish but I needed to be happy with what I did and have confidence in myself because I sure didn't where I was at. So in February I applied to D, I used to work at D, I know how they operate. I liked the structure I had at D and the feeling that they want me to improve.  

I got the job offer and started on March 11th. When I got there I felt like I had a good background in student loans and I knew what I was talking about. I had a confidence that I haven't felt in a long time. D has a great system for grading your calls, it makes me feel empowered when I am doing better than someone else in my call scores. You can get a score of 2 up to 6, which is great. My first month out of training I got a 6 on one of my calls. I was so happy! I never had a 6 score before, I struggled before with my scores. But now I am doing great. My coach even nominated it for Rockstar. Which is a big deal to me, I have to admit when I first started at D back in 2011 a good friend of mine PS got Ultimate Rockstar, and I was super jealous. I thought I could never reach that level of greatness. I think when I was working there in 2011 I didn't do well because I had a lot going on in my personal life. I found out I was pregnant at D and during my pregnancy I was super sick all the time. Plus I was really stressed out. There was some tension in my family and I just wanted people to be happy for me because I was happy. Any whooo I am rambling.... 

So tomorrow is Rockstar luncheon, I get to wear my awesome Rockstar purple shirt and that is where they'll announce who gets Ultimate Rockstar and Department Rockstar. Now I am a little nervous because I am really just honored to even be apart of that group. I would like to get chosen for either one of those but if I don't I am okay that. I am so happy that I really like where I am working, I like how things are in my life at this moment.
