And it's Sunday! And despite being bored shitless the whole week, I'm sitting here frantically looking under the cushions, wondering where the week went.
Yesterday was pretty busy, as in the morning, I made a trip out to Kohl's to look for clothes, and hten we had games back to back.
Kohl's did not have a ton of clothing that I wanted. I found one sleeveless polo on the sale rack and then a knee length duster to wear over it. I'm not sure if I'll wear it first day, but since when I went for my test, it seemed like they kept the office cooler, it might be useful.
Then, it was home for our games. Both were a lot of fun, but as usual, MotW got buck wild and made me laugh til I wheezed. You know that Tik Tok sound about "Everybody's so creative! You see how that looks like you shouldn't have done that, but you did!" Yeah, that's them. I am 100% always kept on my toes. They cleared out a major villain who's been hanging around being annoying for a while, as well as wiping out the head of the local crime syndicate who's been a figure for almost the entire game (all 3 years of it). The next session of MotW is the big one that we've been building towards forever. They have their allies set, the enemy is nigh, and the stakes are high. It should be awesome!
Yesterday, I also confirmed with my sister that she is okay handling dad overnight, and so I booked our overnight getaway. We're going down to the Live! Hotel and Casino, checking in at 3, and having a massage at 4, then having a grown up dinner and a night of peace and quiet. The next day, late check out! I am so looking forward to this!
Today, we shall go down to the mall and pick up my pants and bra, and maybe have lunch at the food court. Then, we shall come home and relax and in my case, possibly freak out about the impending new job.
Tomorrow, I shall get up at ass o'clock and head up to the Harford County HR dept for my new employee orientation, and once that's done, onwards to my workplace for my first day of training. I'm excited and nervous all at once.
It's been a long time since I started over like this. And last time, I don't think it felt this monumental. It was switching from a medical call center to retail, not such a big deal. This is huge. Switching from retail to 911? Bit of a jump. I think part of the reason it feels different is that it's the first time I've chosen to do it. In the past, none of my partings were voluntary.
The first full time job I had, after fifteen years of being "like family." the doctor I worked for retired with 3 months notice. Didn't give me a severance package or anything. The next one had become a hostile work environment, but I fought through. They had constantly changing rules and standards, and it just wasn't good. But I stayed til they fired me. Because a rule had changed, and the things they used to praise me for (multitasking) was now a bad thing. The next one, I didn't last out my probationary period. It also was a shit job, with shit training and yet I tried to stick it out.
This time, I looked at the job and said "No, I'm not willing to accept this anymore" and left. It's a strange sensation.
And now, it's time to get myself together. Dad is stirring and I will soon be summoned. Everyone have a wonderful Sunday!
