In which I gear up for battle... in a cubicle
This weekend was exactly what I needed it to be. It started out with me continuing my good Friday mood by coming home and having a one-woman dance party over a little gin and ice. Afterward, I was invited to an impromptu house party by a friend who I had not seen since the summer months. Got back to my place around four in the morning and was able to sleep off and recover from my partying ways on Saturday by listening to the constant rain showers and watching tons of Modern Family, all while laying in bed.
I woke up early on Sunday and did all of my laundry and bummed around. More Modern Family, Cracker Barrel, Top Chef, and playing around on Penelope (who, by the way, is being wonderful).
I am grateful to have a quiet weekend because this upcoming week at work will be an intense one. (That is one of the reasons why I did all of my laundry; I will have time for nothing else when I come home but to collapse in my bed.) We start our renewal campaign for the 2012 season, and our subscribers get a bit overzealous about their seats. Since it is the first week of renewals, we are having extended hours in the office so people can have extra time to call in if need be. All week. A part of me is excited because it will be my first time in the trenches, so to speak, and it will help me feel even more acclimated and comfortable with the system. The other part of me knows that it is going to be a long week and is already awaiting Saturday. lol.
We finally hired another person in our office, and while I was giving her a tour of the building, she asked me how long I had been working there. I had to think about it for a few seconds and then answered, "A month."
I have been working there for exactly four weeks! What the what?! It feels like maybe two weeks, but alas, no. I do not know if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but four weeks it has been, and boy am I still grateful to have a job. :)
Since this may be a grueling week, I am thinking I may hit the hay early so that I will be in the correct mental space when I head into work. My brain needs to be happy if these patrons are going to be. ;)
Remember to love.
