Its that time again... Im going to get all sappy and emotional about how much I love my job and the people I work with. Its 1:30 A.M. -- but I have too many good feelings to not share!(Youve been warned!) Im just reflecting today about how far I have come since moving here to Utah. For those of you here in Utah, Ill spare you all the emotional details... but I had hit rock bottom 2 days before I decided to pack a suitcase, buy a one-way ticket, move away from my home town, and purge my life of everything familiar. When I started working at Vivint last May, I knew only 2 people in this valley total and I had no direction in my life. I had nothing when I moved here ... no friends, no connections, no confidence or self worth, and especially no money, ... in fact for the first few weeks I lived here I didnt have bedsheets or pillows (dont tell my mom!!!) I was desperate for a job and knew that with my customer service background I could get a job at a local call center. I saw Vivint advertised everywhere, and decided ... why not! Free food! (I also didnt have much food.....) Its become so much more than just free food to me. I feel blessed to work with such a wide variety of great people. I get down on myself for not accomplishing the things that others my age have accomplished because I havent been in school for a while- but when I look back at these past 15 months with my Vivint family, and the many different types of people that I have been privileged to establish bonds with and learn from, I realize that I have learned and accomplished so many things. Its beyond recognition. Ive learned skills that will help me through out my entire life. Ive learned to be a leader and to step out of my comfort zone and face conflict head on with the goal of problem solving. Ive learned to effectively communicate expectations in the work place for myself and those around me, as well as fine tuning the art of effective goal setting. I am a more responsible, well rounded person today because of the skills Ive learned during my time in Customer Care. I can really say that I have a huge family in Utah.. and that would be my Vivint family! I have such a rich and fulfilled life! And to my original point of bringing up my Vivint family, Ive been given the term Mother Hen to those that I lead- and the nickname has stuck for months. When I refer to my kids Im most likely referring to people who are older than me, and might even have kids of their own.. but theyre mine! Ive spent the last few months with a really special group of people who I am honored to call my FRIENDS and not just the reps on my team. Im now transitioning to a new position and a new shift with a new set of agents- and I am heart broken! Im excited to get to know a whole new group of people, but sad to not share my late nights with the awesome reps Ive formed such a strong bond with. Tomorrow is our last day together all working the same shift in the same building. Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put in- and thank you for everything you have taught me. I appreciate every single one of you more than youll ever know! (and this also applies to the team members who I couldnt find on facebook when I tried to stalk them and find them!) Make me proud on your new teams and be good to your supervisors!!! :) haha Kelsey Miranda Hansen Robert Monk Tyler Miller Aria Taylor Cindy Phippen JonJennifer Brashear Alexandra Navarro Sarah Paulsdóttir Emily Appel Jenny Youngberg Dallin Magleby Aaron Cragun Conrad Hazard Rowe Brooke Amber Cline Sean Llewelyn Ellie Pruden Sammy Martinez William Stacy Ebenezer Maurer and Kierra, Camille, Brad, Victoria,Tristian, and Lance
