A Moment of Peace

The new job requires me to get up at, gasp, 5:00 a.m. (4:30 if I need to look somewhat presentable, but lately, I haven’t been looking very presentable!). In my misery, I’ve really started to enjoy my mornings. It’s so peaceful and quiet, sometimes the sun is up, sometimes is still quite dark, but it is always quiet. I make coffee and I get ready for work without anyone asking anything of me (except for the dog, of course, who usually whining to be let outside). It’s a rare moment to myself in a very long day that rotates around other people/babies and their schedules.

Working on My Self-Esteem

As everyone probably has figured out by now, I have re-entered corporate America. Yeah for spreadsheets! And fighting with assistants over the cost of a $4 pair of scissors! And carpal tunnel! Whopee!

Actually, the new job isn’t that bad, borderline fun, and, so far, the people I work with seem to be fairly normal and friendly. Very unlike the last job with the crazy cat people and the co-workers who didn’t feel the need to wear undergarmets or shower. And all of the yelling. And the 4 a.m. phone calls. But I digress.

The last few weeks I spent alot of time in orientations and meetings, attempting to figure out how I fit into an already-established infrastructure. I’ve also had to relearn about a million usernames and passwords. But there is one username that I use to login to several programs. This user name was created before I even arrived on site and it’s the first four letters of your first name and the first two letters of your last.

MEGAPE

And it’s all in caps. I originally read it as MEGA-PE (as in pee pee in the potty), but last night Trent pointed out that it really said MEG APE.

Awesome.

People Who Make Me Laugh

Email I read this morning at 5:30 right before I left for work in response to me not being able to come to her wedding and the thought that I may just send Trent in my place:

“That’s OK about the wedding. Please don’t just send Trent. He might perform some sort of LAN miracle and upstage me, and that’s the last thing I want.”
