Started the new job yesterday. So far the pros are J.E.A.N.S.!, great free parking, 10 minute drive, like everyone (including boss’ wife), staying busy, jumped straight into the fray by firing off some letters re evidence. Cons, no direct deposit of pay, staying busy, feel so lost, information overload! 😀
I registered for my first tri – a Subaru race in October. Bike still not built since Kahuna can’t find some of the parts he put aside, so new ones are being ordered. I haven’t had the energy to take a picture of what has been put together, but I will remedy that shortly. I promise. Heel doing so-so and am hopeful of participating in 5K this coming weekend, even if I have to walk the whole thing.
No stitching to report. I was supposed to work on Hannah Beeby and Ann Holewll, but no energy left to spare during March. I’m getting my act together this week with the new work routine and will deal with stitching best I can when I can think in the evenings. I have an hour and 15 minutes for lunch everyday where the office is completely locked up and phones turned down. I read and caught up on my email today. I’m trying to figure out a routine. I want to walk 3x a week, plus there’s a Farmer’s Market 2 blocks away that I’d like to browse. I also have several books that have been waiting so I may just read at lunch and stitch in the evenings. I know the mental overload I’m feeling right now will dissipate as time goes on; however, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed since I have until the 17th to find my niche since Paralegal is going out on extended leave of absence for surgery.
And while I hate to end this post on a downer, Kahuna lost a friend in Iraq on Sunday. Please keep that Marine’s wife and 3 young children in your prayers, and Kahuna in your thoughts as he deals with this.
{{{Kahuna}}} I’m so sorry to hear of the family’s loss. They will definitely be in my thoughts!
Looking forward to seeing you again this weekend. If you want to walk the whole thing, I’ll walk it all as well with you. The walk only portion doesn’t start until 10:25am, so we wouldn’t even have to get up at Insane O’Clock. LOL
Glad you are enjoying the new job and I am sure you will find your feet soon. It’s always stressing to start a new job.
Sorry to hear about Kahuna’s friend. My thoughts are with him and the wife and children
I’m glad you’re enjoying your new job; it sure sounds like the pluses outweigh the minuses!
(((hugs))) and prayers to the Marine’s family…
I’m sorry about Kahuna’s friend and friend’s family 🙁
Yay for the job! Most of the cons will go away hopefully soon. Except for direct deposit of course. Booo.
Glad you are enjoying the new job, I am sure the stress will ease as you find your feet :-).
So sorry about your DH’s friend, that’s so sad.
I’m so sorry about your husband’s friend. It’s hard to imagine the pain and suffering of his family, and the pain of so many families and friends who have lost a loved one over there.
Good for you for the new job, Terri. It will all get more ‘routine’ soon.
