Work

So you may ask, what has Banks been up to as of late? I will say lately I have been forced to be very productive. Things at the office are going very well. For those of you who may not know, I work as an account manager for a global distributor of communications solutions. My job is to solicit, create, and maintain business opportunities. I started working for this particular firm four months ago. This past month has been my most successful. With the success comes sacrifice. I've been working late on many occasions and going in early. The only negative thing is that my busy work schedule is starting to cut into my time outside of the office. I value my time with my friends. I hope work doesn't continue to interfere with my time off. I don't want to get used to having to give that up.

For a while now, I have tried to work on finding time to visit my family. This past weekend I said forget it. I am going to take a day off and just go. So I did. I spent time with my twin brother and played a round of golf. It was great to have the time to chat. Friday night I went to a church service at a local Methodist church. My cousin has been so on fire as of late, and I wanted to check out this church in which he has spoke so highly. It was very powerful and I enjoyed seeing such a different way of worship. God is surely working in this church. Saturday I ended up practicing with my cousin's coed softball team. I grew up playing baseball but haven't played in almost a year. It was a lot of fun. Before I realized it I was driving back to the real world. It was great to take the break and spend it with my family.

Yesterday, I left the office and headed home. I told myself, "I am going to go to the gym." Where did this thought come from? I haven't been in months. Well, I did manage to get in a great workout. I even went tonight. I plan to work harder to be more disciplined about my physical fitness. I really want to challenge myself to get back into top notch shape. It's been some time since I was in great shape. I need to start somewhere.
