Back To Work

I'm just going to post in bullets because I'm overtired, overwhelmed, and just sort of lazy. Actual structure sounds way too complicated.
I want to blog, but everything has been changing and shifting, and clarity is such a distant memory that I don't even know where to begin.

-Tomorrow I start my new job. This is a job that I interviewed for on Friday, that I didn't plan on getting. It completely changes all my other plans, or not, depending on whether I want it to. It is in an industry that I have never worked in, doing something I have never done, and to be honest I'm actually really excited. I am also super duper nervous. The best part of it is that one of my good friends (who I met at my last job at the ad agency, who set me up with my boyfriend) now works at this company. She is the one who got me the interview (which I almost didn't go to.) Having a friend definitely takes away some of the first day nerves. Which is good since I get really nervous about things like first days (and interviews!).

-Life has been chaotic. but exciting. I am loving the options, hating the decision making. And so I am saying yes to almost everything. And hoping to figure it out along the way. Clarity comes with time, right?

-This weekend was wonderful. The stress of hating, not having, and looking for a job the past few months completely dissipated. Job offers on Friday afternoons definitely set your weekend off to a great start. This was furthered by going to a Dodger game with some friends on Friday night. It was our first Dodger game of the season and the BF bought us each a dodger hat. I am not really a hat person, but I absolutely love this hat. I love that he thought to get me a "girl one," that it fits perfectly, and that it is a sign of summer time and all the games we will go to together.
-Yesterday we had a little Kentucky Derby get-together. My friend Shannon & I dressed up in Derby attire (while the boys laughed at us), and we all watched the Derby. My pick (Pioneerof the Nile) came in second, so that was exciting. In the evening the boys had an alumni event at their fraternity house, so Shannon and I went to an R Kelly 'Trapped in the Closet" party. I had never actually watched the whole R Kelly movie/ musical, and it was certainly "interesting." The rule was that everytime R Kelly sang the word "closet" you take a sip of your beer. Lets just put it this way. He says closet a lot.

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! Is it weird that I'm excited by the return of Sunday nights actually meaning something? Is it even worse that I'm excited to start the weekly Friday countdowns again? Weekends are just far more special when you're stuck in an office all week long. I know I'm going to hate myself for writing that.

I DID appreciate this time though. Really & truly, it has been a great (& much needed) break, but I am beyond ready for this new challenge. Have a great Monday lovelies!
