it’s okay, I know what I’m doing

  1. I am exhausted. Utterly and completely exhausted. Like, snored-so-bad-last-night-TheMister-actually-mentioned-it exhausted. It feels good and bad and has made me ugly.
  2. I returned last Sunday from a whirlwind trip to Oregon. I watched Admiral graduate from college. I cried like a baby. I am sofa king proud of that woman. I *sigh* can’t really explain. It’s good stuff, man. (Oregon people, I’m looking to plan a late fall trip up there again and hope to bring TheMister with me.)
  3. I survived my first week at my new job. THAT is why I’m exhausted. I work 8am-5:30pm. (Yeah, I know. You do the math. I’m happy with it.) Thankfully I’m low-maintenance enough that I can get up at 6:45am and drive to work. When I start taking the bus I won’t be able to afford that luxury though. I’m easing my body into it. I have been working spreadsheets like none other … both the working on them like none other and the spreadsheets like none other. I am going to be an Excel-Master in about a month. I’ll challenge you to a pivot-table-off. Or something equally as nerdy.
  4. My job – it’s challenging and I love it. I’m doing stuff I enjoy and I’m being paid what I’m worth. I’m looking forward to seeing what gets put on my plate next – and I hear it’s rare to do that at a job.
  5. Speaking of getting paid what I’m worth, I did some calculating, and I make, in two days, what it took me AN ENTIRE WEEK to make at the bank in Portland. I can’t get over what I put up with. I’ll never let myself be treated that way again. Ever.
  6. TheMister continues to be the best cheerleader I’ve ever had … even when I’m snoring. The dood just gets me. I’m glad I got him.
  7. That is all for now.
  8. No, wait! Shit. I forgot. (I went downstairs to pee today and when I got down there, I forgot why I went down. Please see #1 for a refresher on why that would happen.)

    Congrats on the new job and on having fun doing it. That doesn't always happen.. the money thing is icing on the cake.

    Way to go on the new job. The adjustment is always the hardest part but it sounds like it will be worth it!

    Number 1, heh heh (no pun intended….)

  5. The adjustment was hard, but I know it will settle out. Even thus far (9:40pm Monday night) I'm feeling better than I was last week at this time!

  6. Haha – and you like that I threw “shit” into that, too? LOL
