Busy Bee

Oh, hello there blog. Miss me lately? :)

Been busy at work actually WORKING. Who knew that some jobs really do require you to work all day and not be online? I never would've guessed! LOL But I think I've fallen into place already and gotten used to my new work routines. One good thing about being busy all the time is my work day goes by quickly for the most part. But since I can't be online much I don't get to do my daily social online updates like I used to. Awwww....I know you all miss it. Right?!?!?! :)

But I'll pop in here and there, on the blog and other sites, whenever I can. This weekend is the Memorial Day weekend so it's a 3 day weekend. Woohoo! Been enjoying it by relaxing. We went out Friday to our usual, Circus, and after that just been chilling at my house. We watched two DVDs Juan picked yesterday (Notorious and Bride Wars), hit the gym and also had a nice dinner at our favorite Farmer Boys. Today we've just been relaxing, might head to the movies later (Terminator Salvation, perhaps). So I've definitely been enjoying the kickback weekend.

I'm finally at a nice, peaceful point again. Work is going well, three weeks into it. I've gotten the hang of most things now while still learning a few stuff along the way. The slightly longer commute on the drive home kinda sucks at times, but oh well. I'm just so grateful I was able to find a good job so quickly in these tough times. Maybe I'll allow myself to splurge just a little soon. I have been thinking about getting a TiVo. :) We'll see.

First Week

The first week at the new job went pretty well. Yeah, I was nervous, especially on the very first day, but little by little I'm learning my new responsibilities and getting used to the changes (new location, slightly longer commute, new people, etc.). I think I've already got everyone's names down, which isn't too difficult this time since we're only about 20 or so people there in the office. Everyone's been pretty cool and friendly, so that's always a big plus. Even as the week ended, I still felt a bit lost at times, trying to figure a few things out, but I know that's normal with any new job. Overall, it was a good start...for me, at least...I hope my bosses and co-workers think so as well. There were a lot of new things I needed to learn/remember, so it just takes me some getting used to. From what I've heard, it took my coworkers a while too...so at least knowing that helps me feel more confident that it's not just me. :)

Right now I'm just chilling at Juan's, enjoying this Sunday. The weekend's gone by way too fast, as is always the case. But I do my best to enjoy ever second of it. Hopefully this coming week goes just as well, if not better, and quicker too. Hopefully the nervous feelings I felt last week aren't around as much now that I have a few days under my belt.

I do feel I'm very lucky to have someone, Juan, that can help calm me down and comfort me and encourage me. There are times when I just tend to overthink things and make myself freak out too much for no reason. He was really helpful in making me feel calm and relax and remember to just take a deep breath and do my best. So if you read this, thank you!

Saturday Quickie

It's three o'clock on this Saturday. I'm sitting here waiting as Juan gets his haircut and then we're going to the gym and a friend's birthday night later on. As of this past Thursday I've technically been between jobs...my last day at my now 'old' job has come and gone and now I start at a new place on Monday morning. Must admit I'm definitely nervous...not that I think I will do bad or anything, just the whole new job, new responsibilities to learn and new people to meet can make me somewhat anxious and nervous. Soon enough I know I'll settle in and get used to the new work routine. It all just takes time. For now just relaxing and enjoying my weekend. We went to see the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie last night and I really enjoyed it...so go check it out!

Ok enough blogging for now...takes so long doing this from the mobile browser. lol
