Wednesday Fun! : New Job Update - 6 Months

I have now officially reached my 6 month milestone at my new job.  Update on how I am feeling about it today... I Still Love It!!!   This is the first time in a long time that I have felt that my input and opinions are so wanted, encouraged, heard and appreciated.  Good or bad.  My department of 30 people continue to amaze me with how well we can all work together in such small quarters.  No childish actions, or talking behind any one's back.  No high school games and nobody acting like they are better than anyone else.  I have worked in much smaller groups that I can't say the same thing about. Everyone is always eager to help each other even if the work is out of their Division. 
The only thing I find to be an obstacle is not gaining weight with the amount of food that is in this office every week.  These guys REALLY like food and there is ALWAYS something for everyone to munch on.  Donuts are brought in every single Friday rain or shine,  cookies and cobblers are made almost weekly,  chips and crackers and brought in all the time,  candy, nuts and even fruit are supplied everyday.  This doesn't take into account the birthday food every month, the holiday BBQ's and potlucks, the catered lunches, and the welcome and farewell buffets that are organized on our back tables or conference rooms.  Food Food Food.  And great food,  often homemade food.  It's always delicious and plentiful.  So I do get a lot of walking in around the complex to try to burn off all of these extra calories. 

I will be honest though.  As much as I LOVE this new job, new chapter and new adventure, There are a couple of things from my last job that I really miss.  I miss my old boss.  He has always been a great friend and working with him was a great experience.  I will miss knowing a lot about what I am doing.  This learning from ground up again is showing to be a bit more difficult at my age than it used to be.  LOL.

Wednesday Fun - Nails

So today I did something for myself that I haven't done in a very long time.  I pampered myself and got nails put back on.  It's been at least 5 or 6 years since I had nail extensions and I have missed them so much.  I have missed they way they feel when I grab for things, type and run my fingers through my hair.  I have missed how much more feminine they make my hand look an dhow much nice and more slender my fingers look with them.  I have just missed them so much.

Now I am not going to lie, it has been so long that I am having to re-learn how to do EVERYTHING! Typing is a bit of a challenge but oh my god, typing on my phone is crazy!  It's like I have no idea what I am doing and have never use a touch screen before in my life. But it's fun giving it a whirl.

I thought that if I am starting a new chapter in my life with this new job then I should start with a bang.  I have a hair appointment tomorrow night and had my nail appointment tonight.  I like to go bold with  my nails normally but I thought that for my first day and my first impression of being someone to take seriously I should go a little more conservative.  I got a beautiful deep red with some glitter on accent nails.

I love, love, love them!  I spent a almost 20 straight years with nails on until I needed to take a break financially from them.  I am so glad to have this opportunity to pamper myself again and to do something that makes me feel pretty.  I hope I can continue to keep them on  because I enjoy this feeling. :)
