The last week of my life has been crazy busy! Working full time = no bueno. Seriously.
So about my job. I work at a law firm that specializes in the defense of long term care facilities. My BFF works there, so she totally hooked me up. My title is “Office Services.” Basically I spend a LOT of time at the copy machine scanning and copying. It’s not that bad because there’s variety, but overall..not something I plan to do forever. I’m hoping to move my way up if I enjoy working there.
But the benefits. Oh, the benefits! The real reason I accepted the job was for these amazing benefits. 100% paid medical and dental, $500 a year chiropractic, a 15 minute massage in office once a month, a fully paid trip to HAWAII once a year for 5 days, paid lunch from the café downstairs every Friday, access to a business/life coach once a week, and various nutritional/exercise programs paid by the company.
So yeah. I was stoked on the whole 100% paid medical, but throw in HAWAII…how could I say no? I’ll be going in October :)
Oh and by the way, casual dress every day! I don’t even have to dress up!
Anyhow, working full time is kicking my BUTT! No joke. I have no time for anything! And all I want to do on the weekend is relax. How the heck do people who work full time get things done?! I’m hoping I adjust, because this is crazy!
On Thursday my company held our very first conference at a Disneyland hotel. No one told me I was to valet park, so guess what I did? Self parked. Across the street. A mile away. In heels. Um, yeah. Oh and did I mention I had flats in my purse because I’m smart? Well, I thought I could handle it and didn’t wear them on my trek. Not so smart. So I got to the hotel and immediately had to book it to front desk to get some band-aids to aid my poor pinky toes where half my skin had rubbed off. I didn’t wear ANY shoes the rest of the day. During the convention I ran the registration desk and luckily no one was able to see my shoes, or lack thereof. And since all the attorneys were at the conference, no one was in the office when I got back to see my lack of shoe wearing. But let me tell you…do NOT try walking a mile in heels. My poor feet!
Other than that, things are pretty fabulous. I spent the day at the beach and was 110% content and sun soaked. It was a beautiful day and I couldn’t ask for better Saturday weather. Tomorrow we’re headed to Balboa Island for the annual parade. We’ve never been before, so I’m excited to see what it’s all about! The family will be there and it’ll be nice to catch up.
Next week is already booked up, so there’s a good chance I won’t have time to write for another week. My mom will be in town(!!!) on Tuesday, so we’re meeting her for dinner. On Wednesday, a friend from Michigan arrives and will be here through the weekend, so I’ll be playing tour guide. Oh and I have to do that whole work full time thing, too.
Oh and Dexter, he’s a happy dog. He loves having a yard to run around and a couple pups to play with.
