Okay - I start a new job on Monday 11-20. It's the Monday before the Thanksgiving break. I started a new job 2 years ago Monday that sent me on a whirlwind tour of a nightmarish career path. I am hoping this is a fresh start and I am cautiously optomistic.

I went to the corporate office on Friday to sign all my paperwork. You know, sexual harassment, employee handbook, drug screening, etc.

I started Monday. Everyone was very nice - so far. I butted in on conversations, I hate it when I do that. I can just hear them saying to each other after I leave the room, "who the heck does she think she is.?" I know, I am just starved for adult conversation. It's day 2 already since I got back to this Blog entry. I am now up and running with a computer that works, (I had to bring in my own mouse) and a phone that works, (the handset didn't) and email at work that works. Plus, I can print to the printers. So, I am good to go. The gal that works with me took Thanksgiving off, so I sat with her on Monday, tried to mind meld with her and I won't see her again till Monday the 27th. I hear she is a big Grey's Anatomy fan, so we have that in common. She seemed really cool and I am hoping we become thick as thieves. (I before E except after C). There is a model grand opening or something to that effect. Maybe just Sales office opening on Friday thru Sunday. I volunteered to stop by on Saturday to help. Such a good newby. Making points early in the game was always my strongest asset in a new job. (I just wish the Chargers had the same attitude. Man, they are killing me....but I digress.

Anyway, Here I go again on my own, going down the only road I've ever known. I will let you know how it goes. In other words, I will keep you posted. Blog humor, can't get enough of it!
