Job is still going great, feel very blessed to have it and has already kind of changed my life and hopefully there will be more to come. Have recieved lots of compliments on my articles and there has been a growth in subscriptions since I started a few weeks ago. Am in no way saying its all because of me, but like to think that I have a part in it. And the boss gives me credit, so that's the main thing.
Not only am I fortunate to like what I do every day and with the hours I wanted, but my boss is great to work for. We are the same age and he's very nice and continuesly gives me praise for my articles. And I'm the type of personality who needs some assurance and ego boost once in awhile and he does that. I thought once I started full time he might become less complimentary but that hasn't been the case. In my past jobs, my bosses didn't give much positve feedback and didn't seem to really care so its a nice change.
Also all the people I work with are very nice, have really gotten to know or talk to much to Becca. Who happens to be dating the boss, so I have to watch myself. But while at work Becca and I chat to each other on the Instant Messenger system installed on the computers, so that has brought us together as friends and makes me feel like I'm at home. It's kind of wierd though chatting because our desks are only a few short steps apart, but nobody has to hear us.
Last night was our office christmas party, we played the Survivor board game, was fun but would have been better if more people were into it rather than wanting to get voted out. A couple weeks ago when the party was first talked about, Becca camd to me about an alliance, so it was us two and the boss. We had our doubts but it worked, and we ended up being the final three. Then of course they turned and voted me out and Becca was the sole survivor.
Was a night of firsts for me, my first tase of deer in deer chili, don't know if it was more mental or taste but I prefer hamburger. And also tried some Turtle soup, which i was worried about but it wasn't bad.
Then the boss, Becca, another couple and I stopped at the Legion for karaoke night. And I don't know what got into me, maybe it was Becca's encouragement or the fact I couldn't be any worse than anyone else who was singing, but I gave my first LIVE performace with Madonna's 'Material Girl.' The boss joined me, and while we weren't terrible I think we'll stick to our days jobs.
It was fun and made me feel closer to the people I work with and excited about continued future growth.
