Welcome!

I used to hate my job, now I have a new one! This is my process for getting through it staying healthy, and hopefully finding something more fulfilling and less stressful to my body. If you feel me follow me, if you think I am a complainer read on... it gets better.

The validation

SO I am happy to say I am NOT crazy and my friends got to hear from another mouth how nuts April is/was. I couldn’t have made all of that stuff up!

I have been noticing an old acquaintance from my old work place in my neighborhood and could not place him for the life of me. Turns out he works in a local restaurant and we happened to sit in his section last night. When he remembered me we began talking about everyone we used to work with, including the crazy April.

I swore when I wrote this blog that I wouldn’t tell anyone about who I was or where I worked but it was so worth sharing last night! After catching up I asked him to share his opinions of April with my friends. He said she was absolutely out of her mind and shared a story with my friends about the time when she came over to his side of the office yelling after me.

Ah validation, you are a great feeling J.

The whiplash

How does a summer start low, even out, get crazy fun then end up low again? I feel like I have whiplash.

On my plate for the next month:
- Finding a new roommate so someone will be able to find me when I am attacked by my crazy cat.
- Being a MOD in my (younger) sister's wedding, where YES the movies are true, I am super happy for her but am not happy that I am not even close to being there yet.
- Sorting out feelings of being dumped twice in one summer. Not to say that I really care about those people but I need to figure out what I am looking for now that I have a big girl life.
- Remodeling various parts of my condo (which would not be a huge deal if everything wasn't leaking water everywhere).
- Finishing a painting that I desperately need to get out of my place.
- Figuring out where these super intense migraines are coming from before I go insane or lose my new job.

Add that to all of the other crazy shit that goes on in my life and I can't find room for desert. I am feeling a little low right now, I love desert :(...

The work treats

Work treats can be a multitude of fun things, mostly they are the days when your boss is out and profanity is strangely acceptable among the minions.

Then there are the Kudos you get when you do a good job, and at my new place of business they are little notes like trophies. I LOVE getting these!!!

But the best is when you can bond with Charles on the day you thought was going to be a rough and crappy day. Ducky was out and Charles and I were talking about our projects which led to me telling him how nervous I was about what I was doing. He actually started talking to me about how he was too, then we bonded. It was lovely, all warm and fuzzy and happy feeling J

I love work treats!
