Good things

My first two days on the job have been incredible! I got taken out to lunch yesterday, have lots of cool tasks on the horizon, and everyone has been very nice. I have a lot in common with a few of them, which means work will be fun. I also have my own office, so I'm not always being watched over. Thats one thing thats new about this job - I'm treated very professionally. I was at my last job too, but I still felt the clear division between me and my superiors. Here I am one of the Big Kids, so I come with automatic respect. Love it! Its amazing how a job has such an impact on my life. When I love my job I am 110% happier. This doesn't apply to jobs I am just ok with or tolerate, only if I like what I'm doing. I guess that makes sense because I'm there all day. With commute and the extended hour I spend there, I'm out of my house 11 hours.

Relatedly, I hired a daily dog walker. My guilt over Audrey sitting in here 11-12 hours a day, with no pee break and no exercise, was killing me I found a good discounted dog walker, who only lives 3 blocks away. We met today, and he is very nice. Audrey seemed to be ok with him, but was acting very bipolar. One minute she was nuzzling the next minute she actually really nipped at him hard. That was terrifying. Lots of dog services won't take your dog as a client if they show aggressive tendancies. But I think she'll be fine - as with everyone she just needs to get to know the person. So now she will get some time outside during the day, and I wont have to race home after work. In fact I can go OUT after work if I wanted! Amazing!

So life is good. Having the job and the dog stuff taken care of really makes me forget the other crap (bills, dudes) in my life.
