Worky Worky Busy Bee

Ummmm hai. Missing from Bloglandia much? That’s me!
I have no time for a real post so here’s a quick catch-up list. Bullet style.
- Started my new job on Wednesday at 9AM
- Brain exploded Wednesday at 10AM
- Brain began oozing out my ears and nose by Wednesday at 12PM
- Went home at 5 PM Wednesday and died. After Glee, natch
- Resurrected myself Thursday morning at 6 AM. WHO GETS UP THAT EARLY? Oh that’s right, now I do. SHOOT ME NOW.
- Did it all again Thursday and Friday
- Stayed up way late Friday night
- Rinse and repeat Saturday, add a birthday party for my girl JoAnne (henceforth known as JoJo)
- Lots of church on Sunday
- Lots of naps on Sunday
- Return to the top and repeat for all days of this week.
The new job, so far, is a new job. I won’t give a lot of detail but I’ve moved from the Retail Technology world to Real Estate and from Marketing to . . . something else, title of which I’m unsure. No, I’m not a real estate agent. I’m working on the corporate side. Think big company. HUUUUGE company. Lots of Excel spreadsheets. Hold me. I’m overwhelmed, stressed and a wee bit freaked out. The people are awesome, I just have a whole new language to learn. Luckily I’m getting a month of training during which I can make every mistake known to man and have someone fix it for me. Bonus round, I have a fifth floor corner office with a view of Camelback Mountain and I’m close to some great shopping and restaurants. Good-bye, paycheck, hello Louboutins!

Congrats on the new job!
Fantastic how fast you were able to find something. I’m still looking.
Oh and hooray on the view! In a former life I planned a HUGE sales meeting that was held at the Camelback Marriot, it was a fabulous place where they pampered me as the meeting organizer and gave me a deluxe room and a full spa day on the house once the meeting was over. I have fond memories of Camelback Mtn/

I’m so glad that you have such an awesome job now! And the training makes all the difference, as I’ve come to find out since my last job. I’m still recovering and finding out that all jobs aren’t as horrible as my last one. All that to say: Congrats on the corner office!

I am stoked for you - it was fun talking to you after your first day! You’ll do great, and when in doubt? Wear the snuggie to work. You heard me.

Hooray for training and hooray for job. It will get better soon, but if it makes you feel better, I am totally jealous of your view. I don’t even have windows in my office!

Wow, congrats on the new job. That is awesome. Really!! I’m sure by the end of training you will be ready to kick butt at whatever it is you’re doing.
Also, please post pictures of expensive shoes you buy? So I can be envious.
