Make That Money!

Hi wonderful people! I hope each of you had a wonderful weekend :) Last week's Smell the Roses task was to show appreciation for your job. I've been getting quite a few emails & comments asking me what I do as far as work goes. I don't really know why I haven't shared it on here before. Today is the day I guess. Let me first start out by saying...I don't have a glamourous job, it's not my dream job, I'm not really passionate about what I do, BUT I am extremely grateful that I have such an accommodating job. I work for an A/C company called Airite Air Conditioning, Inc. YEP...for an A/C company haha! I work in the office, and I am responsible for doing the company's billing. My title is "Service Coordinator"...which I have no idea where that came from! I've been working there since I was 19 years old. Some of you might be wondering how in the world I came into a job like this. Well let me tell you! My Granddad & Dad have worked in the A/C industry for as long as I've been alive. So I've always been around it. If you would've told the high school me that I would someday be working in the A/C business I WOULD HAVE LAUGHED AT YOU. But I needed a college job that paid all of my bills AND was willing to work with my school schedule. BAM, Granddad got me a job at Airite. My Granddad is the Executive Vice President of the company and since I've been working there, my Dad has transferred to Airite as the Vice President of Service. My younger brother also works at Airite. And so does Adam! Although, I don't see Adam very often. He is a service technician so he is usually out in the field working at job sites.  There's a little look at my desk. Nothing fancy. But that's okay because I only spend about 20 hours a week in the office. Like I mentioned earlier, my job is VERY accommodating. Perks of working with family? YES. I work the other 10 hours a week from home.  I work half days Monday-Thursday in here, and Fridays I work from home.  Here's a close up shot of my desk. See my water bottle and carrots/hummus?! ;) Oh and of course my Erin Condren planner! For this week's task, I decided to write my Granddad an appreciation card. He knows that I am not passionate about my job and that now that I've graduated from college that I'm planning on getting into other things.  He supports my health/fitness dreams and knows that I want to go into business for myself. He has offered me the opportunity to work at Airite part time as I get my own business up and running.  It truly is a blessing, and I never take it for granted! If it wasn't for my Granddad, I probably wouldn't have the guts to pursue my dreams & passions.  Did you do anything to show appreciation for your job? I'd love to read about it, so link up with me :) <a href="http://www.lovelylittlethingsblog.com/p/smell-roses_24.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Lovely Little Things" border="0" src="http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/pp143/jessicavenoy/LLT.png" /></a> This week's task:Treat yourself.I strive to spend a lot of my time reaching out to others. I love inspiring people and pouring into them whenever I can. Sometimes I forget to take care of myself though - I stay up late talking to people or answering emails or I skip out on doing things that I want to do for me, because I'd rather do something that someone else wants to do. Well I think that if we're not careful we can get burnt out, so this week I think we should each do something to treat ourselves. You can take a bubble bath, get a pedicure, buy that dress you've been looking at for a few weeks now. OR you can do all of the above ;)Remember that you are beautiful, strong & driven. The world wouldn't be the same without you AND you are making a difference!lovelylittlethingsblog.com
