Brave New World

Well, its been a busy couple of weeks. I haven't had much time to post anything because I started a temp job at a warehouse. I spend my day processing orders for an electronics company. Boring stuff to say the least. I run credit cards, check with banks to watch out for fraud, verify shipping addresses. Really not my bag, but it will do in a pinch. I have already put my resume in at Travelers insurance which is what I normally do. Still not too fascinating,however the money is much better. Hoping to start there by around the 15th of Dec. maybe sooner. I have to get my license back. I will be spending the first couple weeks studying for that test and then I will spend sometime getting trained to do my job. I will be working on a rewrite team so it will be less pressure to produce but a larger system to learn. I think I will like it. Alot of people I know work there still and it will be an opportunity to change to a different segment of the industry. I would like to work up to a management position eventually. Its funny how seriously people take their jobs, to the point that once they lose it, they kind of lose themselves. I strongly identify success with what kind of work I am doing. I just don't feel good if I have too much time on my hands. Being productive is what makes me feel successful. Sometimes I wonder if I have some sort of ADD or the like because I have a hard time motivating myself to do well after a certain length of time. I guess once the learning challenge is gone, I feel bored. Need to try hard to keep myself challenged in other areas of my life. Its definately time to start either walking to work or going back to the gym. I can't sit down all day and expect to keep the weight off. Enough about the boring stuff.
Went shopping with my friend Kellie yesterday. We had a good time. Coffee in the morning, lunch with a beer and lots of trying on clothes. Our friend Rhonda from Seattle came along too so it was a good girls day out. Haven't had one in a long time and really enjoyed digging through all the stuff at TJMAXX and The Rack. Got myself a couple items for work and a great black dress that I will most likely wear to Thanksgiving this week. Boy do I have mixed feelings about that trip. Going over the hill to Clarkston to eat with the inlaws. Not my favorite passtime. They grate on my nerves like nails on a blackboard. Plus the food will just be mediocre and that really blows. On the other hand, I won't have to make anything if I don't want to and no clean up either. I can definately enjoy that. I suppose I will just bring a bottle of wine and drink up Johnny. That will make things a tiny bit easier to endure. My sister is coming for Christmas from Hawaii this year. She is preggers and missing her family I think. Moving in with her boyfriend has been a shock to both their systems. The break will probably due them good. They really don't know each other that well so this has been a big adjustment. Anyway, I hear Kipp banging around upstairs so I better go see what's up.
