Going from a job where I wore jeans, old t-shirts, and tennis shoes to a job where I get to dress nice topped off with a set of heels has been great! I love dressing up and feeling good! I missed it so much at my old job that I started dressing nice and they all thought I was crazy. Wearing a skirt with a nice blouse just wasn't practical around toddlers!
I guess I got so used to the "grunge" look that I'm not comfortable in my heels anymore. I can't believe how sore my feet are! I had to take off my heels and walk around campus barefoot because my feet were killing me so much! Luckily the new job entails me sitting most of the day which means I don't need to be on my feet and they can relax a bit! We'll see how they do on my evening run tonight?!?
So...today is Thankful Thursday! Of course I am so thankful for my new job! I am glad to be back at the university and I am so thankful to be getting paid again. A month without a paycheck was just too long! It's so nice to not have to depend on savings for your budget. Luckily I was only out a month...I know that with the job market being so terrible it could have been a lot worse! I am so thankful that I was able to start back up right away!
Another thanks on my list is that I get my full benefits again! I hear a massage calling me name! The reason I'm so excited is that normally employees have a bit of a waiting period for the benefits to kick in - 3 months was what it was when I started last year. Luckily I got to skip the probation period and got covered right away! YAY for that!
There's lots to be thankful for in my life but I'll save some more for next week!
Until next time...ta ta for now!
