1st Day

So, today was day one at the new job and I gotta say that I am pleasantly surprised. You know how is it. Whenever you get a new job. The first day usually sucks because you feel so uncomfortable and so out of place. You start to question why you took this new job in the first place and you miss your old co-workers terribly. For me, it usually takes a good couple of weeks before I'm feeling like I belong in the new office.

Well, that was definitely NOT the case for me today. From the moment I walked in I felt totally at ease. My boss made a joke right off the bat and I found out that all of my neighbors are guys! woo hoo! I literally sit outside my boss's office and the whole rest of the row is guys. They seem to all be in their 30's. I'm not looking to hook up by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just thinking that guys are a HELL of a lot more fun to work with. No drama. No bullshit. No lies. Instead I get to listen to innappropriate jokes, they keep me up to date on the latest sporting news and they just laugh and carry on all day. Loves it!

Another great thing!! Not once did I feel scared to approach my boss. I went in to his office quite a few times and I wasn't nervous at all. I didn't think twice about it. That's huge for me. I used to get nervous as hell when I had to go back to my bosses desk. It sucked. I was intimidated and I felt like I was walking on eggshells all of the time. I'm glad I finally have a boss that I can look straight in the eye and feel good about myself.

The job seems pretty easy, but I think it'll keep me busy which is good and I'm learning a lot of new things which is great.

In a few weeks we are putting on a seminar at the MGM Grand and he wants me to spend the day there with him so I can learn the ropes and see what we do in action. Yay! Field Trip!

I couldn't be happier. I definitely feel like I made the right decision.

And ya know. It felt good to get up this morning and hop in the shower and get dressed up. I feel like a grown up again instead of a high school student who was suspended and is spending her days at home while everyone else is at work/school.

So, switching gears...

Somewhere down the line, I will explain this story in further detail. But, have you ever had someone fuck you over? I'm sure you have. I definitely have. I think we've all been hurt or fucked over sometime in our lives right?? Well, I'm the kind of person that will remember every single detail of being fucked over. For instance, some of you guys might remember Tim. He went to Dopes on Slopes with me a year ago and we were dating and he was coming over my house every night etc. So, I dunno, a few weeks into the relationship his roommate expresses interest in me and Tim gives him my number and tells him to "go for it". What the fuck??

That's bullshit right? I felt like a used piece of meat and I was having no parts of it. I basically cut off all communication with Tim and that was that.

Fast forward a few months later and Tim is back...

Revenge is so sweet! I really fucked him over in a bad way today and he deserved every bit of it. ahhhhhh sweet satisfaction. I almost started feeling bad for him, but then I just played the tape in my head of what he did to me and I'm totally okay with it again.

Carmen, I am so happy to hear that your new job is going so well. Work takes up such a huge part of your life, so it's important that you like it.

I'm jealous! Not because of your job, because of your tiny, flat stomach. Bitch.

Sounds like things are moving in the right direction for you.

I have a friend that is commuting to Vegas. He sprays fire retardant on curtains and carpets.

Currently he's working at the MGM.

Sometimes revenge is very necessary.

Congrats on the new job. Good for you!

With regard to Tim, I am not a revenger getter. That is just not my thing. When people are mean to me or screw me over, I usually just let it go. I don't forget or give them the chance to do it again though.

Magic news Carmen! That's a super result and while we're on the subject you've produced a great post about the realities of the workplace. In any case, you've proven the old adage that perseverence always pays!

As for being mucked around by people, I'm currently being royally shafted by an ex-friend (another guy). Unlike some of the other commentators here, I think revenage is a dish that is best served cold. Would be keen to read more juicy morsels on this topic!!!

Well done again and enjoy the fruits of your success!
