WHooo Hoooo!!

So, I'm pretty convinced I've had the best week ever. The bonus is that it isn't even over yet!

Just this past weekend, I switched to the overnight shift at work. This was for several reasons.

The first being that my Love is switching to overnights soon at his job. I figured that as much as I don't completely love overnights, I'd be willing to do it for the fact that I'd get to spend more time with him.

Second, for my own sanity. That place can drive the most patient person up the wall in less than an hour, and I really didn't want to say that I got burnt out by a job. I don't ever want to say "I have to give up". It's just not my style.

And my third reason had a little bit to do with the management. It really SUCKS when you know that a bunch of people are mad at you because you made them stick to the rules. Go ahead and be mad, but when the legal issues start to pile up, don't say I didn't warn you.

So yeah. I ended up switching and I love it! I have lots of quiet space and although it is mainly cleaning, I really don't mind it. And the supervisor is rockin', so that's a good deal.


BUT.

Yesterday I was offered the job. This is the dream job that I applied for, while lacking a touch of confidence that I could do it. I mean, I wanted so bad to get it, but compared to many of the other applicants that I thought had applied, I was pretty convinced that they had way more experience and education than I had. I guess I thought I was pretty low on the totem pole. BUT I GOT THE JOB!

And so I felt incredibly guilty telling my awesome new supervisor that while I just got on his shift, I'm gonna duck out and leave him hanging. Suck. But being the great guy that he is, he gratefully accepted my resignation and said that he's proud of me because he's seen me work and feels that I've definitely gone into the right career field. That was a blessing to hear, and I'm grateful for all the help and guidance he's given me. He's a rockstar boss.


Whew. Good times.

I kinda feel guilty about not writing lately. I look at this page everyday when I turn on my computer because it comes up right along with msn.com and facebook, but I never actually have much to say it seems.

But that isn't the entire truth. I've always got something to say because everyday has something to it that I'm focused on.

A few weeks ago, someone emailed me a posting for a job opening on the ULTIMATE perfect job for me. I was so excited about it I pretty much immediately sent in my resume. The posting was for a job that I'd love to do, but while I was researching for my interview, I discovered that they also have a position that is my dream job! It is the exact position that I had in mind as I was finishing college and preparing for the "real world". So during my interview, I asked about it and they were really excited to interview me for both positions. But now it is the waiting game....

Then after that bout of shakiness and nerves ended, I had to focus on getting wedding invites in the mail. Consider them (or 98% of them) signed, sealed, and delivered. It feels great to get those done. It also makes everything seem so much more real. I think that's because we haven't been focusing on wedding stuff lately.

BUT it is officially less than two months until Love and I are married! :D How exciting is that?!



I'm also floating on cloud 9 because a few weeks ago, I was asked to photograph an event for some friends. While it took me awhile to get the shots I wanted, I'm TOTALLY stoked at how the whole event went. And now my photos are on a public website and are being used for promotional purposes for the next event they are having in August. No worries. I'll have plenty of time to photograph that event because it sits comfortably between my wedding and honeymoon. Haha...

And now for a quick comment on work. It's rough. I frequently get hit, bit, kicked, spit on, and yelled at, but for some reason I have no intentions of leaving just yet. Haha.... Well... I guess that depends on how that interview went....

Until next time.... Ciao!
