New Job
So I got a new job... I guess that's worth a post, right? I'm an executive secretary, receptionist, administrative assistant (whatever you want to call it) for a jewelry manufacturing company in Downtown Los Angeles (ie: a block or two from USC, and between 5-10 mintues from where I live). Basically, I do a lot of emails and draft letters for a very business savy (if not very computer literate) corporate boss. I also fax a lot of invoices, answer the phone, you know... all the basic front desk stuff that makes me feel oh so important in the world. And other than feeling somewhat weird (with an even stranger sense of irony) having to get used to using a PC again after having a Mac for 6months... honestly, it's not so bad. Today was my first day and I work with two girls my age who are actaully really nice, and I pretty much have enough work to keep me busy, but not SO much that I wanted to quit immediately (as in, leaving at lunch and never coming back). I also make $3 more an hour than I did at my previous job, and I'm full time again, which is both good and bad, but I'm trying not to think about it. I'm back to a 9-5 job now... only this is the only full time job I've ever had that actually ran those hours consistently. My only real gripe is not being able to work out in the mornings anymore... and perhaps less time for a life (but it's not like I actually used my abundance of it in the last few weeks anyway with nobody around). And though I might not be able to stay the year I promised, as far as jobs go, it could be much worse. So alas, I will join the rest of the world in having my weekends off like a normal person, along with the small luxury of having no traffic and hitting zero freeways on my brief and ridiculously convenient "commute" to work.

Oh yeah... I am SO backpacking through Europe next summer. Short of an act of God, I'm am fucking going!
