Well I've finished up my first week in the "real world", and I must say...it was quite a week.
I have dreamed forever of a having a job...for some reason, in my mind, it was going to be simply amazing, and well....
It wasn't perfection, but by Friday afternoon I was feeling like I had found my spot. I dreamed of work being a place I didn't mind going, it would be productive and I would go in early in the morning and make coffee and go sit at my desk and sort through emails, and prepare for my day...
Who was I kidding? Every single day this week I didn't even have coffee, because I was too scared to try to go figure out how to use the Keurig machine. See the funniest part about this is, I'm quite an outgoing person...but the thought of going in to the break room and trying to use that machine and screwing it up just seemed beyond mortifying to me.
So there I was, riding up the elevator every morning trying to talk myself in to today being the day that I find the courage to make coffee. Yes, make coffee. And everyday...I failed. Everyday I made it to my desk, went through my emails and prepared for my day...without coffee. It's weird, because I think that's what really effected my mornings. Don't sweat the small stuff, right? Hmph.
Good news about this real world job of mine is it's walking distance from our apartment...which means I get to come home and have lunch with C every day. As you could imagine, that's what gets me through my no coffee morning. The afternoons have gotten better, they are a little more busy and go by a little faster.
Truth is, I know I'm going to love it. I go relocated to a new desk on Friday, a new desk where there is lots of life going on around me...the desk I was in all week was in the back corner and I saw NO ONE! It sucked out my excitement, but this new desk brought a whole new outlook on this job for me.
So yes, on Monday...I am going to make coffee. It's simple really, I know. But to me if I can make this cup of coffee, I am going to make it through a lot more at this job.
I love it and I already know I am going to enjoy the people, they are always so happy! I am looking forward to this next week, filled with lots of productivity (which I am craving!) and lots of yummy coffee :) ha! I am a nerd. I've known it, and it's even more apparent now.
Cheers,
