Wow, cant believe I havent updated on here recently.
The job is amazing. AMA-XI-NG. I cannot even put into words how happy I am. Ever since I got a bunch of accounts assigned to me, I am SO BUSY during the day. Jonny is afraid I'm going to become a workaholic. I've been going in to the office about 45 minutes early each morning because right now, I FEEL behind. They tell me I'm not, they tell me that I'm doing okay. However, I was put in as the second Alpha Xi Delta representative (YAY!), so rather than doing the norm of 25 accounts, and then 2 weeks later, 25 more accounts, etc etc until I had a full load, I got 26 random accounts initially, and then was piled on with 56 AXiD accounts. Which is fine, but I'm still transitioning and introducing myself to my admins....and it's taking some time to fully transition. I like going in a few minutes early to have some quiet time to work on administrative stuff - bc once the phone starts ringing, it doesnt stop. So I'm going to have just 82 accounts for a little while, and then I guess they will start giving me a few more once I'm up to speed with these that I have.
Nonetheless, I'm having the absolute time of my life. I enjoy being able to help my Alpha Xi Delta sisters across the country, as well as the few other sorority and fraternity chapters I also have. I am SO grateful to Alpha Xi Delta - for allowing me to realize my potential - that I'm good with finances, I'm good with managing a chapter's finances. I got to do it as FVP, and advise at GSU....and now, I do it for many chapters as my career. AHHHHHHHH!!!!
I talked to one of my admins from a school up north yesterday. Poor girl, I just wanted to reach through the phone and give her a hug. She doesnt have a financial advisor, and she feels overwhelmed. I dont want to say too many details for privacy reasons...but I think by the time I got off the phone with her, she felt better about her position and what it was she was supposed to be doing. I spoke with another sister who's chapter was having initiation this weekend, and she was so thrilled to tell me "TFJ!!!" as we were getting off the phone... Brooke told me if I wasn't careful, I'd have all these girls wanting me as their financial advisor...HAHAH! Nah, cant be your official advisor, but I can certainly help you out with AXiD financial policies. Speaking of which - new stuff Omega is rolling out for AXiD in January= Frikkin AMAXING. So excited for the new services and how streamlined and efficient it's going to make things. YEEEAH!
Random fact: I have one sorority chapter (not AXiD) that has 254 members. Holy Moly! I cannot even imagine being in a chapter that big. Can you imagine the chapter meetings? Or the socials? How does a chapter than big even function? I bet risk management is an absolute nightmare....
Hope you guys are doing well, and have a Happy Thanksgiving with your families and loved ones this week. Take care.

Amanda
