ranting

I have to wake up at 6 am every morning. To get ready and catch the 7:13 Trax train to downtown (with the free trax pass my work has provided me with!). To get to my NEW JOB by 8!
The "office" job doesn't really appeal to some people... but I'm really diggin' the atmosphere. My second day, and I've already started decorating my desk.
Oh and I'm also lovin' the "business casual" attire. Ha! That's fun.
Back to the 6 am deal, I haven't even been dead tired the last two days I've had to wake up that early. That is a big deal! But going to bed at 10 is hard.. It bothers me that I could take a nap at any given moment during the day, but as soon as I get in bed to go to sleep it's like I have to force my eyes to close.
My boss took me to lunch today at Cafe Brio in City Creek. Have you ever been there? It's delicious. And I just adore my boss. She is awesome! I feel like everyone on my team likes me a lot already, granted one of them is my cousin.
Which brings me to another point! I'm so grateful my cousin told me that the job was hiring. It's fun to see her all the time, and I'm going to love working with her.
At lunch, I was telling my boss how I think you really have to know people to get a job just about anywhere. She totally agreed and then proceeded to tell me how she had 500 applicants for the job I had received and since my cousin referred me, she set up an interview, and then only interviewed like 2 other people, and after I interviewed with her she had 2 of her other co workers interview me to make sure she wasn't being biased, since she knows my cousin and the kind of family I come from. She said that all three of them picked me as the best candidate for the job, hands down, no questions! She told me I was so outgoing and personable, and I was really happy to hear that, because job interviews give me major anxiety! Big self-esteem booster right there.
I feel like I'm catching on pretty quick with how my job will work, which is reassuring. I don't feel as nervous and out of my comfort zone as I thought I would. But I'm so excited for this change, and opportunity.
Also they have nerf gun wars.
When we were leaving lunch, we walked passed a guy with a gas mask on. Literally a gas mask. The air quality is getting really bad here, and it really bums me out... Yikes! But it was sunny and that was refreshing.
Back to decorating my desk, now I'm browsing pinterest for the cutest ideas. Why not like the space you work in?


YAY LIFE!
