Who is ‘Chelle?
Not too much has changed in the past year. I’m still a mom to 3 amazing adult children. Nathan is still engaged to Sommer, Jessica is still dating Keagan (6 years now) and Brad has bought his own home.
I’m still spending way too much time on the computers. When I’m not working, I’m doing either personal computer work or Sidetracked Sisters computer work. Kiriworks, the company I’ve been working for since 2008 has now merged with i3 Verticals. I’m still doing the same type of work, implementing OnBase for customers. When needed, I’m also training our customers on how to use OnBase. My position has changed a little bit. I’m still labeled as a Senior Solution Consultant, but my responsibilities also include System Architect activities such as significant documentation. One of my recent projects resulted in creating a 190 page document. It was torture, but it was a great document.
My other hobbies include crafts, my dogs, and spending time with my family. I’ve also become a cat person which totally shocks me! Now that Brad is moving out, my favorite little black kitty has also moved out. I’m going to miss her so much! I just may end up getting a replacement or two.
I LOVE to organize and plan and especially love it when I’m recognized for things I’ve done. If you ever want to discuss The Five Love Languages, I’m the one! It’s my favorite book. Lastly – when I’m not working on my computers, chances are I’ll be sleeping. I have to say, my favorite thing to do of all time is snuggling on the sofa, binge-watching my latest favorite show, and snuggling with the kitties!
Sidetracked Sisters
You may ask, “What is Sidetracked Sisters?” Well – we are 2 sets of sisters that truly embody the word “Sidetracked”. When we get together, we have a very hard time staying on one topic. Frequently one topic will start and before that can be completed, someone has already moved on to the next topic. We love each other dearly, but also love to pick on each other just as much. One of us is a control freak, one of us is a little flighty, one of us is sensitive and the other is analytical. When I give these descriptions – I have certain sisters in mind. Now – tomorrow – if asked to classify the sisters again – it will be a different sister that is the control freak, a little flighty, sensitive, and analytical. We are all very much alike but also very different.
