My First Month of Work

Well, it is almost the end of January, which marks the almost end of my first month of real-life work. I hae found myself loving almost every minute of it, and genuinely looking forward to going every day. This has a lot to do with the people I work with, and if they weren't there it would make my work life so much different. This bodes well for the future, since life is much easier if you like what you do. At the beginning of the month we switched the Mac from downstairs to my desk, and I now get to work on it all the time. I think having personal space and a machine that I love working on also really helps my attitude about work. I know this sounds materialistic, but my sense of personal space and a workspace that stimulates my interest is a big thing with me, and actually effects my interest in work. Right now I am working on hooking up the Mac and a PC to my monitor and speakers and keboard, which is proving to be a little more difficult than originally thought, but I think it is going to work. I am keeping my fingers crossed!! This leads to my next topic, which is what I would do with my life if I was not a museum person. After an evening talking with Jennie's cousin Giles, who works for Apple, I think I would really want to do something like that. Jessica and I are finding more and more that we LOVE computers, especially Macs, and I think working for Apple, even if was just telling people how cool Apple products are, would be amazing. Jessica is getting closer every day to caving in and buying her MacBook, so let the "wear Jessica down until she caves in and buys it so she can start LOVING it" countdown begin!



In other news, I am now able to announce, that my friend Jennie is going to have a baby!!!!!!!! This is amazing news, and I am very excited to start shopping the Baby Gap!! And knitting her a baby banket, which I am starting this weekend. Well, these things are what is going on in my life. I go to work all day then come home, eat dinner, then play on my computer all night or knit. Basically I am living my dream right now, and that dream will probably change, but for the moment I am good. David is hoping I will get interested in reading for pleasure again, but I tolf him I am just sick of it for now. I will get over it I hope.

So here is a story to leave you with...

My mom and my sister came to Waco last Sunday so my sister could go shopping at this dress shop for her prom dress. Before we left to go shopping my mom asked me for some lotion, and since I know she is super-sensitive to things that smell floral or fruity, I gave her some of my Kiehls Creme de Corps. By the way, this lotions rocks my socks! It is amazing. She loved it, especially since her hands have been so so dry because she is on this diet that cuts all the fat out of the food she eats. So she told me -- she told me -- to order her a big bottle and a small bottle for her purse. So I go online after they leave and order her two bottle, a small bottle for me, a big bottle for me to take to work, my eye makeup remover, and a lipgloss, which is a huge order. So when I talk to her that night she says "Oh, by the way, I went online to your lotion place and ordered some lotion!" Give me a break. She will have enough of that stuff to last her two lifetimes. She better be moisturized to the extreme at all times. My family is cra-a-zy!! I thought it was funny, so there you go.
