So, there's ice outside this morning. The place where I work closed early yesterday, and they're opening two hours late this morning. So, of course I've been awake since 6 am instead of going back to sleep 'til 8 like a normal person. Ugh.
Oh yeah, did I mention I have a job now?
Thus the reason for my absence in posting. I just don't have the hours upon hours of free time (or ability to stay awake past 9 or 10) anymore. I'm tired more often, but I don't feel useless. And that is a wonderful thing, I must say.
I work as a receptionist at a local company, and am also in charge of purchasing, accounts payable, and a zillion other things. When I first started, there were definitely times of defeat where I felt like nothing I did would help me acclimate to this new place. But now, at almost the end of my third week, I am so glad to say that I'm okay. Still messing up (annoying people with questions all the time, plus I accidentally ordered 11 of something I was only supposed to get 1 of), but I'm okay. And I am so grateful to have found this. In retrospect, I'm sure I was meant to stick it out for the last few months so I could understand how to appreciate what I've been given. Sure, it's not great having to wake up at 6 am 5 days a week, and sure, there is more pressure to get more things done and put myself second, but this is good. I'm no longer a bum who sits on her parents' couch all day long while searching for jobs online and spending all day on Facebook. And that's definitely something.
*Big Sigh*
And now, I've definitely learned to appreciate the weekends so much more.
