Working Girl*
Oh lovelies, I haven’t forgotten you, I promise.
So, I’ve started working. I actually have to leave for work again in 15 minutes but I wanted to write a quick something to let you know I haven’t abandoned you (and I’m discovering that post-work I’m pretty much useless as I’m so tired. haha). My new job is okay–it’s nothing to dance about–but I am grateful for any kind of work at this point. My job is much more physical than I ever anticipated, and I come home exhausted and sore every day. It’s definitely not a job for ‘delicate’ women, I’m having a tough time keeping up with the pace and intensity of it, but I can’t complain. It’s a job. It pays money. So I go to work.
I am actively looking for something else though, either to supplement it or replace it. I applied for two office jobs today that would just be dreamy, but I know better than to get my hopes up these days. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
I’ve also decided that training for a new job sucks. I love the feeling of working when everything is familiar and comfortable, and you don’t have to ask questions about everything you’re doing. Right now I feel like I have eyes on me alllllll the time and my manager doesn’t trust me to do things by myself yet. It kind of makes me feel like a 5 year old, especially as the job I’m working definitely isn’t rocket science. But at the same time, I’m new and she has no idea what I’ll be like… so I just suck it up and count the hours until I’m done my training. haha
Anyway, that’s where I’ve been all week… working then coming home and collapsing on the couch. I don’t even think I’ve cooked a proper meal all week because I’ve had no energy after work. Popcorn is such a good meal replacement. ;)
P.s. Did you notice how I didn’t even refer to my announcement at all in this post? Did’ja? Well, until right now. I’m mentioning it now.
Hate me yet? haha

Popcorn and Diet Coke= Ideal fast dinner. Sometimes with an apple thrown in the mix to keep it healthy. I'm a teacher too, I think we must be separated at birth or something!
