first day post-work thoughts

I survived my first day! 

I didn't even know what to expect walking into my new office this morning at 8:25. I was ready, surprisingly not anxious (sending a huge thank you to my Bible study group girls for tons of prayers), and ready to face the day!

It was tough going to sleep last night because I had a million thoughts going through my head. Tyler was right there with me and we ended up taking a Dramamine to both fall asleep. I'm quite a thinker (duh!).

The morning was spent getting acquainted with the office and setting up my workstation. My manager is great and had made an itinerary for me. I was really worried I was going to sit around and twiddle my thumbs all day because that's what I have done at past jobs/internships in the past.

I made it through the first few hours, then breaked for lunch... Stopped by Bi-Lo to get a few groceries, then ran home to heat up an Lean Cuisine and let Sarge tinkle. How do those of you who go home for lunch to it? I literally could not sit on the couch because I knew I'd never get up! Luckily I only had time to sit and shovel my food into my mouth, I couldn't really process what was going on! And just like that, I hopped back in the car to the office for the afternoon.

This afternoon sort of dragged on, probably because I ate lunch at 11:30 and at my old job I went to lunch at 1 (central time)! By 3:30 I was starving and needed a Diet Coke pronto. Note: take DC to work tomorrow and stick in the fridge!

Thanks for every ones well wishes and tweets, Facebook messages, emails, comments on photos, and texts. I am a BLESSED girl! 

Good thing today went well or this post could have been depressing.

Oh, did I mention I scanned mail incorrectly and the stamp was on the back of the envelope. Classic rookie mistake!

I'm so glad you had a good first day! I love being able to go home for lunch, but it is hard to go back to the office for the afternoon. Hope your 2nd day is even better!

I still make other people put mail through the postage meter for me, and it's been 3 months! Glad you had a great first day friend!
