Changes

This has been a jam packed week full of change.

I started the new job on Monday. They have a pretty strict rule about blogging so I will keep the name of the company quiet, but it seems to be pretty decent. It is odd for me to be working for a company that has only been around for 11 months. The people are really pretty nice, the atmosphere is laid back, euphoric and challenging with just a touch of disarray. It is to be expected, a bit I suppose. The company is brand new and they are still getting their feet on the ground, but still. It seems a bit jarring compared to the experiences I’ve had with literally every other company I’ve ever worked for.

There has been a lot to learn, and will continue to learn throughout the month. New toys to purchase for the home office as well. A new webcam with selfie lighting, so I can look more professional I’m sure, new headphones, and an adapter for the laptop I will be getting. I also will need to rework my desk because even though it is 55″, it will probably not be enough room. And, depending on how much room I actually need, another monitor so I can work both laptops side by side. Cause I need anything that professional?

I’m going to have to learn some new practices and life rules being at home all the time as well. I wasn’t doing a whole lot of steps to begin with, now they are next to nothing which is really terrible for me. Plus, now all I’m ever doing is typing so I have to find a way to curb my munchies. Even sitting in front of the computer now just typing I’ve been sucking on Brach’s Butterscotch Candies. If I do this a lot I will be completely out of shape. The other thing I’ve realized is that I am not eating at the coffee shop, obviously, so I’m having to have even more food in the house. To be healthier I am including more vegetables than I have in months in every meal that I have (except maybe my breakfast coffee). But I still feel like I’m eating too much. We will have to see how it plays out, but I can see some attempts at walks in my near future. At least I can blame the weather for not wanting to go running about.

I also had to work early all this week which has thrown my whole laying around in bed for hours momentum off. I will get back to it this week, but still. I was bolting down 4 cups of coffee in the morning just to try and be coherent for the vast amounts of knowledge they were throwing at us. It almost reminded me of the classes I took last year. Just sitting in a chair, frantically taking notes and hoping I was going to get some of it.

Here’s hoping this week is easier.
