ChristyT's Journal

It has been a while since I have been here because I recently started a new job.  I am out of practice from writing so if I don't say things quite right, it's just because I am rusty.

I enjoy my new job.  It has quirks just like everything else in life, but is not near as bad as the job at the Physical therapy clinic, which has yet to replace me, because no one wants the job, AND at least two other people have quit since I left due to management issues.  That says something for that place.  I don't think I have ever felt so much glee at someone else's failures.  I am not typically the type of person to find amusement in someone else's problems, however, these people treated me so poorly that I find that part of myself being challenged.

I am generally happy at my new job.  There are some strange power struggles and nuances there that I am not familiar with and am doing my best to stay out of.  Most of the people I work with are women .  Two are older, in there 50's and 60's and one is in her early 20's.  Then there is the janitor.  He is clearly waiting to retire and does his job at his own pace or not at all!  LOL!  They all work in the same building but don't seem to work much as a team.  It seems really odd that they don't work as a team especially considering it is such a small group that work there.  It is just the 5 of us,  I would think they would be closer.  I don't know what keeps them apart but I guess I will find out eventually.  Hope everyone has a great holiday!

I have had my first week working in the Senior Center and I love it.  Yes there are some really cranky people but there are some really fun ones too.  I am excited for the opportunity to work in the county again and also to get the benefits of a county worker!  So far so good! 

I am almost finished with the cushions I promised a friend and they look wonderful.  For some reason I am suprised I did such a good job on them.  I usually pick my projects to pieces and can't stand them when I am finished.  I am becoming quite an accomplished sewer.  Hopefully I will get pictures of them at the party tomorrow.

For the moment I have had much to keep me busy and keep my mind off of the infertility issue.  I am not sure how I feel about it anymore.  It's like I am doing my best to put it on the shelf until I can examine it with less feeling.....like that's possible.  How do you examine such an emotional thing with less feeling?  I guess I am just trying to live in the now for the time being.  Not the future and not the past but what is in front of me for the moment.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I went to an all day orientation!  My head is so stuffed full of junk, I don't think there is any more room in my head for any more stuff!  Man do those things exhaust you !  I can't wait to start tomorrow.  I have my own desk area and can bring in what ever I want to dress it up. Hope I do well.   I am feeling a little insecure about my abilities at the momemt and hope that it will soon subside.  The Red Hen was sad to see me go but happy that I got a good paying job.

Well, I guess I had better get some rest and wait to see what tomorrow brings!  YAY!
