Today was the first day at my new job! Everyone was really nice and I felt very welcomed and part of the team. I have a lot to learn but I know that will come in time (Things I Must Earn; heeheh I love that acronym).
A few things stood out to me but some of the most moving are the work/life balance that is promoted by the company and also the fact that you get your BIRTHDAY off! Hurr! Yes that should be a day of celebration and the only reason an employee, of any company, should be going to work on their birthday is because the company is throwing them a partay! I dunno I feel strongly about this because of how many years I would forsake my birthday and feel like shit about it afterwards. Now I not only honor my birthday but others birthday’s also.
I didn’t want to leave work seeing as I had a lot to do and get setup but I also realized that I had to get to a meeting. I took off at like 6:30 or so and met my friend for dinner. We tried to get to a meeting but it never opened. Oh well I get a check mark for trying :), but I when I got home I actually did some work (5 minutes) on Step 4. Man I am being so resistant but it will only get better with practice so I will try again tomorrow and see how far I get. I promised myself I would make some headway with this step when I got back from Vegas and that is what I intend to do. I know that it is going to help me in all areas of my life so I am just going to do it!
I finally have all of my winter hiking equipment for this weekend! Hurr! The Cardigan lodge trip is this weekend . Rich and I are leaving at 1300 on Friday! I will take a picture of all of my stuff at some point and post it here.
I meditated this morning and I am sure that helped me today. I will do it again tomorrow morning…
