I almost did it – two entries last week. But I was working on it on Friday afternoon and got interrupted and had to leave work (where I was in the middle of it) early – long story that I really don’t want to get into here. So anyway that entry ended up being sort of outdated and so I’m just going to start afresh here.
Topic for tonight – my new job and all that goes with it. It’s actually not so bad. I think my first few days went rather well, considering the fact that everything is really new to me. I’m enjoying the people I work with, my boss is great, though self-admittedly a bit absentminded at times, but he’s a really great guy. The work that I do is interesting – keeping track of different client accounts, trying to get myself to think strategically about how we can attract new client accounts and get existing clients to renew their accounts with us.
Working in NYC itself is a whole ‘nother experience. I don’t know if it’s the people or the environment, but everything is just more…I don’t know…professional. Not sure if that’s a good thing or bad thing, but I don’t mind it. Makes me feel a lot more important and it’s also exposing me to a whole other corporate culture, and to be honest I’m really relishing the experience. You can study in a classroom all you want, but you never really know what you will face until you’re actually in the situation – meaning the work environment. And I really think that’s where the fun truly begins.
The commute is kind of a downside, but other than getting up early, I’m really not minding it all that much. I hate getting up so early, but once I’m on the train – really, once I’m in my car on my way to the train station, I’m okay. I read the paper on the train, get to work, truck away, and get on the train to come back home. It’s fine. One thing though – my boss wasn’t kidding when he said this wasn’t your typical 9 – 5 job. I’ve never left work this week (other than Friday) before 6 pm. Late nights. I come home, eat, and basically fall into bed. There’s no time during the week to get anything done. (Much less a journal entry….)
I’m not going to go into what I do in too much detail…maybe the next entry. The next entry I’ll also try and talk about what we’re doing to get ready for our India trip. Just don’t have the time now. J It’s almost time for Cold Case, and I’d like to watch that, - and my newest guilty pleasure, Desperate Housewives. Caught the encore last night and let me tell you – it was just as good as people said.
So until next time, ‘night kiddies!!…
