Wow, I started this blog, wrote quite often, got a job, kinda slacked. I wanted this to be kind of a diary thing just for me, if someone else was interested- so be it. I don't have to account to anyone but myself, so I'll type when I damn well feel like it. Ok, I feel like it now.
The job: holy crap, I almost quit. L really makes me feel like an idiot which frustrates me and makes me feel like shit and stressed out. Yesterday I had a reaction to a decongestant that I took before bed- major palpatations when I got to work. I explained what was happening to B and L, B said she would tell A when she got in. So, I called Dr M's office and left a message for his nurse, she left a voicemail on my cell after 2 hrs (good thing I didn't pass out or die in the meantime). Basically she said I had to "wait it out" and not take anything else. Duh. I applied online for a job with the Clerk of Courts which just so happens to be VERY close to where I am currently employed. I also saw that a local bank was hiring for a receptionist position, so I went and applied there too. Turns out today was one of the best days so far at work, L had to leave for a problem w/her daughter so I got to work w/A for a little while then w/P. P is so nice, cool, and her daughter is getting married next year. Hum, weddings- something I know just a little about. I did really well on the express window, and when L got back I felt like I had much more confidence in my skills. A telling me I did well was a plus- coming from her as the assistant mgr it meant something. L was in a good mood because she's going to Vegas for a few days, I was feeling good, so I felt like I could talk to her. Maybe she was showing sympathy because her daughter was having problems at her 1st day of work today. Different circumstances, same idea though. Well, I did all the closing procedures (which really aren't hard at all), printed all the reports and put all the stuff in the right place- with time to spare. L surprised me and said she had told A that I closed up all by myself and did a good job. Wow, I thanked her and joked that it "had to click sometime!" I'm actually proud, and think I might give this thing a shot. I was so ready to give up. B was trying to be supportive and said I should quit if I wasn't happy. I think he only said that partially because he meant it, mostly because that's what I would've told him (and have). I keep thinking that I'll retire after 20 years, I have to plan the party eventually...
I got the 2 days off in Oct to go to NY, excited about that. Adam and I have talked often, mostly about M&D's anniversary getaway. I can't wait to see everyone, B says I have to see R & Rach, I want to anyway- how many times can I go and not? I miss them, but especially M&D. Maybe I'll get to see M and her kids too. Jen is coming the wkend before Halloween, we will probably go up to Orlando to Universal, I'm going to ask for that Mon off. Anyway, enough for now.
