Today was my first day at my new job. WOW. Talk about a big dose of humility. Just when I thought I knew everything - I realized today that there is SO MUCH MORE that I have to learn!
I was with my last employer for almost 25 years (OK, THAT makes me feel old) and did the same job for the past 11 years - a job with a manager that gave me the freedom to do my job and explore new ways to get things done - a job that provided a good income and health insurance for a single mom with 2 children - a job that provided me with valuable experience in preparation for my new job - a job with awesome co-workers that far out-numbered (and out-mattered) the a-holes I had to deal with - a job that I was truly blessed to have.
Beginning today, I have an awesome new job with USDA - a job that comes with many new responsibilities - a job that seems overwhelming at times - a job that pays better than the last one (lol) - a job that will use my strengths and strengthen my weaknesses - a job that I am truly blessed to have.
This weekend I had dinner with friends - friends that accept me for who I am - friends that don't put up with my BS - friends that make me laugh - friends that open-minded - friends that I can trust - friends that I am truly blessed to have.
This week marks one month since my best friend came to live with me - a best friend that loves me for the twisted, dysfunctional person that I am - a best friend that openly recognizes his faults (and mine!) and works at correcting them - a best friend that makes me laugh even when I'm at my angriest - a best friend that is incredibly and unbelievably patient with me when I'm at my bitchiest - a best friend that is a little slow with "listening to what I'm trying to tell him" but eventually gets it and helps me work through it - a best friend that will do almost anything to make me happy - a best friend that I am TRULY BLESSED TO HAVE. (I love you T)
