I slept over 10 hours last night (Friday into Saturday). After Marcus and I went out and ran a few errands, we came home and napped at least three more. Needless to say, I'm wide awake now. I'll jot down a few things I've been meaning to blog about:
To answer my friend Chrissy's query: Yes, I do like my new job (so far). I'm not going to get too excited about it (I'm being cautiously optimistic), but I think I might be there for awhile. Marcus said he noticed early on into the job I had at this time last year that I really hated it. I am a creative person, but I hated the work I was doing. I hated the personality clashes. I hated that I didn't respect my "boss." I hated the drive (especially in the snow). I hated the deadline stress. I definitely work with a nicer group of people now. I also don't have to deal directly with customers. The only thing that kind of sucks is I don't have Internet access while I'm working. Oh, well. Small price to pay for more money than I was making last year, less stress, shorter drive and full paid benefits around the beginning of April. Plus, I get to see glimpses of Marcus as he runs around the place doing what it is he does.
I'm going to need to find a creative outlet, though. The type of work I do (and will do in the future when they teach me more) is not creative at all. Once I get a routine established, I need to start designing graphics or blog templates or something. I don't want to lose my Photoshop/Illustrator design skills. One of my new coworkers embroiders and is willing to teach me all that she knows. I just need to get a machine. I definitely need more cash coming in from somewhere.
Marcus and I were at CompUsa on Saturday and they were playing this fascinating DVD called Animusic. It was computer animated music videos. I'd love to get that.
It's really yucky coming home to a house with no dog. I've found myself dawdling at craft stores and such after work so that I don't have to go home to an empty house for long (Marcus usually gets home 3-4 hours after I do). It's oddly lonely and unsettling.
OK, I need to try to sleep at least or I'll never get to sleep tomorrow night.
