New Job

Day 2 of my new job.

I started working at Beacon officially yesterday, arriving early in the morning to meet with the Deputy of the department. He gave me my laptop, met with me for a bit, gave me my desk space there, and then sent me home to work for the rest of the day.

I am also working from home today, and its been great. I got up this morning, went to the gym, took a shower, made myself a fruit smoothie, and then began work. I watched some tv during my lunch break, and have been working on and off in my comfy clothes! I like working in shorts and a tank top.

I'll be back in the office tomorrow, meeting with the director for the first time. That's right, I haven't met the director of my department yet. I was hired over the phone, and am slowly putting all the pieces together of who is who.

I think I'm really going to like this! :)

Change, Change is Good!

So, when we last left this episode of Amy's life, I was freaking out about a lot of stuff and having anxiety. I gave in, called my doctor, and went back on my meds. They help me to not sit on something and dwell for hours, causing the anxiety. It is what it is, but I'm feeling 100% better.

With that... on Tuesday I got a call from an old colleague who had a job offer for me. I decided to follow up with that... and long story short - I have a new job. Officially today they sent me my offer letter. I'm going to work for an external consulting firm, doing government consultanting. I can't wait! My official start day is June 21! I get more money, and I get to work from home on days that I'm not at the client's location. I love this! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!

I had to resign to my boss today, which prompted me to begin writing my first book. I know, I'm weird, but its an idea that I've been mowing over for a long time. I want to write at least one book in my lifetime, its a good time to start now while everything is fresh!

I'm so happy! Also, for those following along on facebook - I have new pictures from my amazing weekend with Johnny! We got to spend 4 and 1/2 days together, and it was bliss. I miss him. I really am in love with him! :)
