Did I really say I had missed working???

Someone smack me now!

At some time (or two or three) in the last few months I talked of how I wanted a job - of how I NEEDED a job...

And now, four days into it....

I am one tired old lady!

Good lord I didn't realize how quickly you get out of a routine of working day in and day out. Getting up at 5am each day, trying to go to bed earlier than you have been....

arrrrghh! I am NOT a young woman anymore!

Damnit! I don't want to feel old! I don't want to be this tired!

And yes - I AM GRUMPY!!

The new boss seems okay. Kinda quiet, but nice. Busy as hell so he hasn't had a lot of time to show me the ropes. He has said I've done good on a few things (writing a summary on the effects of lead for one). And, the last two days I have completed a 10 hour OSHA training class - then rushed back to work and attended some training classes there - no lunch (but that's ok...I can stand to lose a few pounds - or two - or ten). The office is upstairs (open stairs - open metal stairs....eeek...), the ladies room is across the plant and up another set of stairs....

Can you say "work out?".....

And yes - I AM GRUMPY!!!

(notice there were three !'s that time?)...

Anyway, tomorrow is Friday. I've almost made it through my first week.

And I'll go back on Monday...

If they still want me :)

it's good for the body and soul to have a job. Getting up at the crack of dawn and all. Looks like you'll lose some weight even if you don't have to go to the bathroom with so much stair climbing. Good luck and hang in there.

Another example of the old maxim... be careful what you wish for because you just might get it.

I suspect your job will get easier. You're just not used to it yet.
