I got the job! And I accepted it! After I wrote my last post, God really confirmed that this was the job for me and for right now. After waiting a week for all of my background check stuff to process, my first day was last Friday! I think that Casual Friday with a luncheon is probably the best way to start a new job.
Today was my fourth day at my new job as an assistant in an office in downtown Indianapolis. I like offices. I like 8 to 5, or thankfully, at this job, it can sometimes be 8:30 to 5:30, or pretty much any other variation that has me working my 40 hours a week. It's a really nice set up. I have felt so welcomed. I really can't think of a way to make this job better. The people are great. The job is interesting. I get to dress up for work. I'm going to be learning lots of new things.
What's New
This past week I have had so many new things change my life and my daily schedule. Here are just a few:
1. I started a new job!
2. I now have to get up before 9am. My new wake-up time is 6:15am. I'm slowly adjusting.
3. I'm learning new words: redact, fiduciary, apostille
4. I bought a new car! It's a sporty, red Mazda Protege 5. It's cute and has a sunroof. :) It's nice to be independently mobile again.
5. I dress up for work. I take time before I go to bed to pick out my outfit for the next day. I need new clothes. (And shoes!)
6. I drive downtown for work. Traffic stinks, but I think I will *finally* learn the downtown streets and know how to go somewhere other than Circle Center mall.
7. I talked to a judge on the phone today. He was nice.
8. There is the potential for at least one lunch out a week with various friends who also work downtown!
9. I walk by the State House on the way to my office.
10. I am responsible for the supply closet and get to order office supplies for everyone (and myself!). Definitely a perk for me.
I'll stop with ten for now. I could go on, but it's late and all of this working full time makes me really tired by the end of the day! Not only did I lay out my outfit for tomorrow, I also packed my bags to head down to Bloomington after work.....for my sister's wedding!!! My little sister is marrying her high school sweetheart on Saturday at their church in Bloomington. Lots of family is coming in from out of town and I haven't seen most of them in over a year. The wedding and reception will be beautiful and it's going to be a fun and busy weekend. Hopefully I'll get more sleep next week!
