Step into my office
OK, so I know I'm a bad blogging monkey. I'm sorry. Today I'm all about lists.
Things that have drastically changed in the past two weeks:
1) Moved
2) Immediately started a new job
3) Enrolled in business classes
4) I walk my dog every weeknight
That's right. Change is my friend. On to the details......
I moved two weekends ago, and I had an interview that Monday for an office assistant job in Walnut Creek. I interviewed at 10 and they called me back around 2 and offered me the position. Then I stared Wednesday. I've been working it ever since.
Things I love about this job:
1) Full time, M-F
2) The location, quiet, lots of windows, trees, grass and.......(see #6-7)
3) Private company, they do whatever they want.
4) It's an office job
5) I have my own desk and awesomely decorated and labeled folders :)
6) I am across the street from my favorite shopping mall (Broadway Plaza)
7) Whole Foods is next door...yumm
8) The people are great and so welcoming
9) I drive the company Tacoma "Stubby" (2004 Double Cab/ 4x4) out on deliveries
10) They serve Peet's coffee all day long
11) I can relax and journal on my lunch break
12) Two words: Business Casual
13) I'm not chained to a desk for 8 hours
What's hilarious about this job is that sometimes I have to make copies for the engineers on this HUGE copy machine called an oce machine. It's this mighty copy machine that copies engineering prints that are 24x30. Why this is funny is because some of these prints are multiple pages long and when they are in huge sets I look like a crazy little confused animal lost in a sea of papers that are half my size. Let's also just say that the machine doesn't always play nice and that's why it's hilarious, just imagine me enraged at machine and lost in sea of poster sized maps, trying to look like I know what I'm doing. Quite the sight to behold. I have a new love and appreciation for the movie Office Space.
Anyway, I know it had to be God. This job was inline with everything I was looking for to build my resume for NY, and to get my foot in the door for possibly going for my MBA in a few years. It was so incredible because this job was tons of things that I wanted and a perfect fit for me right now. It doesn’t get more me than a shopping mall, peets coffee, office supplies and whole foods. I am so ridiculously thankful. I was ready for a new challenge. It's not a forever job but it's great for me for a while. I really like it.
That's all for now, I'll update you all about the MBA and school thing later. Gotta keep you on your toes...
Yeah I'm still living out of boxes. I'm a disaster: think hurricane Danielle. But I'm so happy.
So as the wind blows.......... so it is with crazy little me.

I am so happy you are liking your job! I like mine too, ( when they have work for me) and I even have fun labeled folders! But mine are blue on the outside and orange inside ( Classic Pictage colors!!) I even organized my bosses entire filing cabinet ( which consitsted of paper stacked in a box for the last two years) Into an alphabetically-chronologically and color coordinated system!
The anal-obession you had with labeling your school books is only a glimpse into your filing system huh? ;)
um... have I told you I miss you lately ( besides when you called yesterday?!)-
