2nd week has gone by since the start of my new job. It was definitely a learning curve and still is as I settle into my new office and role. It was a good thing I had prior experience beforehand and know the lingo a little bit before diving in. The worst thing that happened so far is I somehow got a sore throat since two days ago. I tested myself with those rapid kits, but NEG so far...... I don't have any other symptoms but the way it came on so quickly felt like a virus attack to me. SIGH.... I really don't wanna call in sick and use sick time especially I have already asked for LOA in November. I really don't want to make a bad impression from the start but hopefully I can recover by tomorrow or so??? Thats pretty slim chance but maybe I'll feel a lot better on monday and hopefully I don't have to talk too much.
Right now, its painful to eat so I am just drinking liquids for the time being and had Beef soup with rice. That was pretty savory. I guess right now is a period of waiting and adjustment for me but I can't help but look forward to the next thing in my life and I guess its starting a relationship with someone. Never done it and from the looks of my friends it just seems to magically happen.. :( I feel so lost sometimes. Like what am I doing wrong, what is wrong with me, is it something i can control?? Most definitely not, sigh....... By this time, I am just betting on a miracle that would happen.
Starting in September, since I have regained somewhat of a normal schedule/lifestyle (8-4) job I am thinking about starting some hobbies or classes that Ive always wanted to take. Language class for example and some fitness classes throughout the week to keep me occupied and hopefully be able to meet some new people. Of course thats not my main intention but starting to dip towards that way in this stupid adult life. Sigh, I am so envious of those high schoolers/ Uni kids that met their significant others early on....
