jaelieSo, life continues.
I'm adjusting well to the new job. I knew the work load would be something I could handle, although I certainly don't have the free time that I used to. I do miss Miriam and our shared time in the office something aweful. I also miss waking up at 7:30 instead of 6am!
On the plus side, everyone in the office is really nice - I imagine that is partially based on the personalities required to choose a career path involved in compassionate service and helping people feel comfortable.
My first day in the office, I had terrible stomach cramps, but I went in anyway, thinking it was just because I was nervous and all bent out of shape due to social anxiety. The work load wasn't intimidating, nor was the learning curve, but I am very much an introvert and shy by nature, so I was feeling a little on edge about the new environment and the new co-workers. I thought the stomach ache was a result of my nervousness. Heh. Well, when I got home, I was informed by my husband that several of the people we gamed with on Saturday night had a 24 hour bug of some sort and my husband and I both must have gotten it. I still went in on Tuesday, even though I still felt a little off. I just couldn't force myself to call in sick the first week!
Well, today is the beginning of my second week at work, and I get to have two of the days off. Heh. Over all, things are going very well.
This past Saturday, since Matt was on call for work, we had to forego our time at the range. Instead, we finally started re-arranging our computer den. With a little more work, it will look awesome. I have to say thanks to my sister and bro-in-law. They started it when we had the Lex's birthday party at my house, which forced us to clean and organize and got us on the current "let's get this place organized!" roll that still lives on! Hooray! Living room, straight and pretty. Dining room, slightly disheveled due to the re-organization of the computer den, but as soon as all the new shelves are up, we'll have a neat dining and den, too. Next up, TV room and Hobby/Guest room. Then we tackle the big one. Garage. Yikes!
Matt's site is back up now, and so are the gaming forums and wikis. So this next week or so I'll be updating those, too, and transferring all the data from the old wiki to the new, improved one. It's prettier this time around, too.
I'm in the student lounge on my lunch break, which is almost over, so that's it for today!

Date: 2007-11-19 11:26 pm (UTC)I'm glad to hear your new position is keeping you busy. Before long, they'll all love you as much as your friends do. There is something absolutely refreshing about someone who is frank and honest, but doesn't use it as an excuse to be catty or cruel.
Maybe breakfast soon? I found a recipe tucked into my cookbook yesterday for an Eggnog Puff Pancake... MMM! :)

Date: 2007-11-20 04:19 pm (UTC)My office is very dull now. Anne comes by at least once a day to check on me.
I do have some good news. While watching the nurse's at the hospital where Matt had his surgery I began to think that going back to work as a LVN is not as bad as I was making it. The care and professionalism or the lack of I should say gave me great courage that with just a little training on hospital protocol and can be a great LVN.
I'm looking forward to spending time with the horses over the holiday.
Ray and I are going out to eat for Thanksgiving Lunch and then Friday we are going to put up X-mas decoration.
I hope everyone gets to spend a little time this holiday doing something that they love.
Happy Thanksgiving
