So for all those of you who don't yet know... I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!
So exciting! Now Chris can relax a little and focus on school and I can not be bored out of my mind some days by lack of ideas of things (productive or not) to do. Of course, little did I realize just how INSANE life would become when I work 8am to 5pm. I am SLOWLY learning the ropes at work which I get rather frustrated with on a somewhat regular basis, but I'm getting there. I work at a law firm called Myler Disability as a legal assistant. It's not too far away but I've hit traffic a couple times that just annoys me to no end after the craziness of work. I feel like I don't really see Chris some days which is slightly annoying, but you win some, you lose some right?!
Case in point, last night. Left work an hour late because I was helping someone, which gave me 30 minutes to get home, hopefully eat and then run to meet my V.T. companion to go teach one of our girls in the 30 minutes before the craft night/book review we were all going to. I almost made it. BUT I hit traffic partway up University Parkway and ka-blooie, I didn't get home til 15 minutes after we were supposed to be at our visiting teachee's place. Figures. Then after the craft night which I got home around 9pm, chris was gone. I was like "what the heck? where'd he go?" He forgot to remind me he had work. I then proceeded to lock myself out of the apartment not long after he left when I went to see if he took the car (He did.) and had to figure out what the heck I was going to do. Decided to go ask my "new" friend Cathy two floors up because we finally introduced ourselves at the craft night.Got up there and we started talking about books and life and all that fun "get to know you" stuff. Finally we realized it was almost 10 and that's when we thought the Community Aides people would stop helping people and I'd end up having to call the po-po to come unlock my door and pay $50 to do it! So FINALLY after midnight Chris and I were both home, both ready for bed, and able to talk. Bless Chris - he helped me release some stress about work!!!
Whew. So life is no longer so uneventful that I am running out of books at the library to read. :-) My brain hurts most days but life is good. Heavenly Father (and Chris) help keep me sane and I am constantly thinking of people I need to get in touch with and things I need to do when I am in no position to do a dang thing about it! And it's how close to being March?! Say what!?!?!?!
lol-- im glad things are crazy, life for me is always better when im running around like a chicken with my head cut off. and dont worry about not seeing chris... i figure ill see jon when we are retired! we are NEVER around eachother is seems like! im so glad you got a job. sure will take the stress off (except for the new work stress you get to deal with!) oh and calm down your road rage...you'll get home eventually! i know how you and driving go....scary!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI understand the never seeing your spouse thing. We haven't had much time together since we got engaged, because 2 weeks after we did we both started grad school! And are both STILL in school (as you definitely know)... This week I've only gotten to see him for a few minutes each day (me getting home, him going to bed). Like Sarah, I plan on seeing him when we retire, but not much until then :) You've been lucky up til now that you "had" a husband! Sometimes I'm not sure if I do... but there's this great bling on my finger...
