Starting Out

Well, I've heard from all sides that since I am now a US traveler I need to record my life for posterity (or at least for all my friends who live their lives in one spot). And, since I have so much fun reading about all my friends' lives and adventures, I guess I'll take their advice.

So, who is Amanda (My~)? A twenty something (barely) lady who now gets paid to travel!! Yes, the destinations are not the most exciting cities in the US, but hey I'm not paying so who am I to complain.

Currently I am in Utah-home-and I was glad to learn that I will be here for a bit longer. This was good news since my company is not known for giving much training to their employees. The usual method is to assign someone a new job and check back in a few months to see if they are doing it.

During the first part of the year I traveled to Austin, Texas and trained (again outside the norm) someone to take over my job responsibilities. The training schedule was quick paced, but I guess I got the high points of the job communicated because the business is still running. While in Texas I got to go to the Alamo. I've heard that you haven't really been to Texas until you've seen the Alamo. So I had to go. It was a perfect January day--in the 70s and fabulous.
