I am pathetic
I was going to update frequently. Then I started working crazy hours and life got kind of nasty.
Management = bad idea. At least for me, at least for now. I'll be happy to leave next week. I'm really working on my faith right now, because this move qualifies as a leap thereof. I know this is the right decision, I know there is a job and the home and the family and the life I've always dreamed of at the other end, its still just kind of scary. Very exciting, too though. And right now, I'm encouraging the excitement to overrun the fear. And its working.
I survived my first retail holiday season. It wasn't too bad as far as crazy goes, but that made it stressful because we weren't meeting sales goals. I have decided that I hate retail. Even so far as to suggest that food service isn't as bad, though I'm not quite ready to commit to that suggestion. Praying for a nice teaching job now. Totally did not think I'd be saying that yet.
Eight months after graduation and life is totally not what I expected it to be. *shrugs* Things are looking up, so I can deal with that. Though, admittedly, certain aspects have turned out far better than I'd ever hoped for (but I'm good at ungrateful whining, which is apparently more fun). I'm even thinking about getting back into academics. I miss being surrounded by geeks all the time. Hell, right now I would settle for people who understood half of what I say without me having to completely change my vocabulary. I will also be happy to be able to eat regularly again (lack of time = very skinny Kate).
I have discovered Bones and adore it, thank you Angie. Not done fantastic with the reading though, largely due to lack of time and preference for the computer whence comes my largest dose of human interaction right now. But with most other things, that will hopefully change soon.
Its time for change. I can feel it in my heart, my mind, my body. I am ready for this.
