My first "blog" entry in years is done at, because of, and inspired by my work.

I am writing at work due an abundance of available time. I am writing at work because when I do have stuff to do I can do it and still think of things to write. I am inspired by work to write because I need an outlet of creativity or I will cease to consider myself satisfied.

My employment by no means shapes my identity. It is and always will be a source of income to me. I am shaped by my beliefs as a follower of Christianity. That influences me in all I do. My family takes the level of priority. My wife and son are the reason I do so many things.

Ooo.. work is getting interesting. A check payment came to me today. It was for a non-charge account at another store location. I made an electronic deposit to the bank and faxed all info on the payment to the proper location so they could account for the money in whatever way they saw fit. (The ordering took place at the other store, but the cust payed for it here) So I just found out that when they ordered at the other store, they wanted to order on their account at MY location! HA!

So NOW I have to tell the other store not to do anything with that money, because I have to apply it to the non-charge account when the order is invoiced. It probably won't be invoiced today so that means I won't have anything to pay off with the money. It will just go on as unapplied money until tomorrow. Then I can use it to pay off that invoice. I do a lot of waiting here.

So, where was I? Yes. I care about my family. They are the best reason to get up and do a whole lot of stuff that I don't really want to do. Not that they make me want to do it anymore, it just makes it better knowing I can come home to them. Gotta do end of the day stuff! Almost time to go home.
