Got it


My, how time flies by when you are WORKING! That's right! I got the job at Chemistry PR!! I trained for about two weeks, and last week was my first official start and I jumped right into everything.

Like a nightmare, the morning of my first day, I walked out early to my car, only to find out that it did not want to start... Yes, like a fool I left my interior lights on the entire night, draining my battery. Fortunately, Andrew has just left minutes before, and like my night in shining armor, he turned around and gave me a ride to work. I knew I had a meeting that day for my client (yes, I have my own client!) and it was the Government Affairs meeting (presumably the scariest meeting I will have to attend according to Danielle who trained me and whose position I am taking over) but fortunately it was minutes from the office... still I was scared and it didn't put me in the right mind for my first day. Let's just say, it didn't go as smooth as possible but I made it through the day, and now I have made it through the week.

Friday I actually worked a 12 hour day because we had the "BOMA Summer Annual Golf Tournament" and so it was a busy but fun day... now it is Sunday, and my weekend just feels so much shorter than it used to. Maybe because it is no longer four days long.

I am very happy about getting the job, but there are times that I feel like I am in way over my head. A full time job, right out of college? It makes me wonder when I will really get the chance to LIVE... then again, the living I want to do, (traveling the world) requires money, and I guess working with a salary is the best way to get that, eh? I'll give the job longer than a week to tell you whether I'm comfortable. I am just so afraid to mess this one up.

But yeah... now my life has direction. That's what I wanted, right?
