New job and stuff
I decided to go by the new office today to drop off the contract, my bank details, and take a look around. I wanted to see where to park, get a good look at my desk. When I walked in, they all looked happy to see me and very eager to show me around. There's even a nice view from my window. I won't have an office to myself (thank God) and will be in the common area with everyone else, except for my boss.
Didn't hit me until today but I realized that my boss's name and hubby's boss's name are the same! Now it'll have to be R1 and R2. We're going to dinner with R1 (P's boss, he was in the picture first) and his wife tonight. That'll be nice.
I did a wee bit of shopping while I was in Dunfermline today. I felt like getting a couple of tops for work. I went into a shop and found some on sale for half price. I may even wear a skirt tonight to dinner with one of the new tops! I'm in a dress-up mood. I've not been able to do that much this last year (well, with the exception of the wedding and our going away party) so I may just snag the chance while I can! ::grin::
I've been considering taking on a couple of courses through Open University. I don't yet know what courses I want to study just yet or even if I will do it but its a consideration. I've always had a hankerin' (that's an Arkansas word, I think) for history and possibly even archaeology. I can take a course in archaeology for £140 for a five month course I can do at home. I don't have all the details just yet (whether or not I'll have to sit exams in a classroom or whatever); I literally just began the research into it myself.
My nail problem is getting better. Well, sort of. They're still weak and very thin after removing the overlay that was there. I bought some polish today to give myself a french manicure. It looks a little bit better but I'm still not happy about not having the nice, pretty, feminine, long nails I used to have. I guess I'm getting used to them.
I have a wee bit of straightening to do before P gets home from work. The boys have literally been outside playing all day long. I LOVE it. I can hear the lovely voices of laughing and excited children just outside my open window. I think its great when they can get outside and get some exercise. It also keeps down the whinging in the house because they're bored or tired of staying indoors. I'm going to get them out tomorrow and we're going to go do something together. I foresee my definition of "normal" within reach. I love normal. Normal is good. Normal is fantastic!
