Work

I do a lot of random things for work. I work full time at newly called UVU in the Testing Dept. My title is Testing Supervisor. Ring a Ding Ding. But what does that mean? Well I manage the student employees in the New Student Assessment Area, and the Proctor Exam Center, (I have met a lot of fun student employees through the years). I help in training, scheduling, discipline etc.

Another aspect of my job is I administer tests such as the GED, ACT-R, Police Officers Selection test, CAAP, remote compass testing, and a bunch of other tests. There is a whole world out there of tests I bet you didn't know about:) Exciting? Well I'll let you be the judge. I also order supplies for the office, count money, do billing.

Job number two consists of National Testing. ACT, SAT, Praxis, LSAT, ASE, MPRE to name a few. A couple times a month I adminster these delightful tests.

Last but not least I work at Quisnos. I pretty much decided to work there because the food is yummetron and you get a 50% discount when you work there. Also I wanted to fill up otherwise lonely nights. I work there a few nights a week with teenagers, pregnant unwed gals, druggies what have you. It was fun while it lasted. But I recently turned in my 2 week. 70 Hour work weeks occasionally!! Enough is enough. Plus recently my social calendar has been climbing. Wahoo!!!

Come One Come all to Provo's Art Gallery Stroll

Do you like free food, art and funky people? Then today is your lucky day!! Provo has started up their own art gallery stroll. YEAH, it's about time!!! It's right on University Parkway in the coal umbrella, sego art gallery etc. I have been to the Salt Lake art gallery stroll and have loved it. I'm excited to see that Provo has one too. It's usually held the first Friday of each month from 6-9.

Each store has an artist's work displayed. I was very impressed at the diversity and caliber of the art. One artist had a mobile made out of dyed tampons? Strange but true. Another bonus is you get to meet the artist. I must say Provo's got a lot of talent. With BYU and UVU close there are a ton of amazing artist majors.

It's fun to meet new people and eat yummy treats. Yes there is free food. This last Friday there were Mocktails, Hot coco, Cookies, Pumpkin Pie, crepes. The list goes on and on. If you love to people watch as much as I do then come on down, grab a mocktail, take a seat on a vintage couch and watch away.

Life

I just watched the movie Ghost Town.  It was pretty good.  Had the same feeling of, As good as it gets.  It made me think about one thing a lot.  You can spend your life thinking about yourself and being alone, or you can spend it helping and being with others.  Personally I have been the happiest in my life when I have been with others.  Sure being alone is nice every once in awhile. But who really is happy being alone?  If you think you are happy you're fooling yourself.  

I love people and the quirks and wonder of them.  The more people I can meet in my life the better off I am.  I feel lucky to be this way.  Also I have learned so much through those I have known.  They have helped shape me to be who I am today.  Even the hard relationships made me more understanding, appreciating and loving. 

A few years ago Erin and I were talking about all the people on this earth.  You only get to meet such a small amount of them.   Isn't that crazy to think about?  How many people on this earth will you never even meet.  We all go about our lives feeling like we are the most important and our worries and cares are the most important.
