Hey Y'all
I know it's been forever since I posted -- almost a month. And I have so many thoughts rolling around in my head that I would like to write about. I am working on getting a laptop. I think my priority should, however, be telling the landlord about the dog and paying the pet deposit because the hot water heater is broken so we can't shower and I don't want to chance the maintenance guy tattling about the dog.
(We do have a Y membership and we ARE getting bathed, just so you know, if you were worried.)
I have this new job that is keeping me far too busy at work to blog. I am loving this new job. I doubt I will ever get fired for talking shit about my boss in my blog because I really, really like her. And no, I'm not cheesing because she doesn't know about my blog. (And I would like to keep it that way, but just in case, nice non-word-murdering-lady, I will never talk shit about you in my blog because I've no need to!)
I don't think I've ever worked anywhere before that didn't have a toxic work environment. There's always been competition, personal drama, general stress, sniping, back stabbing, under-bus-throwing, snarky criticism, that one person everyone trashes behind their back -- there's none of that here. We have a pretty high level of cultural and political diversity but it doesn't seem to cause tension. There's one dude who is a staunch Trump supporter who tries to bait me but I don't let him. Otherwise, nobody discusses politics because that's just not work appropriate chatter.
We all seem to share family as a priority, and the ability to leave work at work. On one particularly busy day when it would have benefitted work production had I skipped or shortened lunch, my boss told me that I should go ahead and take my full hour since that lunch hour is the only time I get to spend with Grumpy during the week. Family comes first. This business isn't life or death and it's all gonna get done eventually.
How often do you find a boss like that?
Yesterday officially marked my first month. I'm counting down the next five until I am officially on the company payroll and off the agency payroll. I'm pretty sure this is going to be my big girl job.
Also, I am really enjoying aqua fitness classes and am thinking about becoming an instructor because how awsome would it be to be a professional mermaid?
Yeah, so aqua aerobics tonight. I'm off the company clock but on the company computer and it is time for me to run away home.
Have a good night!
Maybe I will check in like this after work more often.
