Well, today I re-entered the workforce. I will miss sleeping in late and wearing shorts and flip flops daily. Women's dress shoes are so uncomfortable!
Lilly and I have moved into our new place and are adjusting. She doesn't yet understand what the heck is going on but she is doing well.
My son Noah helped me shop for antique furniture for my place and we found some great deals!
I began the day meeting my boss at my new office. I then had a series of meetings all day long. I can't complain, my security badge information was pretty darn good so that's a good start!!!
My office has been scavenged such that only a desk remains. I will spruce it up soon enough.
I forgot how interesting people in the workplace can be. Some are very friendly, some seem to hate being at work. I tried to tell these haters how unappealing unemployment is but they just stared at me like I was looney.
Starting work in a completely new city and new company allows me to re-invent myself. I toyed with going in with an Australian accent but I have trouble keeping it going - sometimes it sounds like a British accent or a bit Irish or even Indian.
I'm still deciding whether to tell them I used to be a model or maybe a brain surgeon. They have no idea - could be really fun.
I did get to see how orthopedic implants are made today - fascinating process. I think I might even get brave enough to watch one actually be implanted in a real person.
Many of you wished me well today as I began the day. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciated that. It really made me feel less alone.
I'll keep adding to the blog as I have learnings about starting a new job.
