So, I got a happy new job — lots of training, good pay, challenging work — happy time! Downside? 12 HOUR DAYS!!!!! I honestly didn’t think myself capable of willingly and cheefully devoting that much of myself to a job. It’s just the time literally runs away from me. One minute I’m walking in a half hour before clock-in, the next I’m walking out 2.5 hours post clock-out. Kinda insane. I feel overwhelmed, but am content in the knowledge that I’m supposed to feel overwhelmed and stupid because, well, I still don’t know what I’m doing. And according to all my co-workers, that’s how it was for them.
So, job still happy fun time (except when I fall off of a truck — don’t ask, it’s not my finest moment). Being a grown up with a grown up job can kinda blow, except when it’s exactly what you want to be doing with your grown up self.
