It’s kind of nice.

This is a "happy" post. I hate you all just a tiny bit. I was scared when I started working at my new job. It seemed a disorganized mess. The first day I had the generic new hire training, which I most likely fell asleep for. It was painful, but so are most “training” days. After I managed to get through my first day I met up with the person who was going to be my boss and I found out where I would be sitting for the next few weeks. Everyone in the office who works the same job congregates in this tight little floor space of cubicles. Of course, knowing my luck, that was all full. My cube was down the hall, across the pond, and somewhere in Africa.

I really didn’t mind the location. I was moderately close to a window, and for most of the day it was quiet. I got to enjoy this seclusion only for a couple of weeks. One day, when it was almost quitting time, I was informed that my cube was being given to some new hire that would be assisting someone who also worked in my part of Africa. (Note to my few readers, I really don’t work in Africa. Let’s be clear on that one. I know you’re all pretty gullible but I actually work in North Carolina…Surprise, surprise). This was also, when I was informed that I would be moving a lot closer to all of my coworkers. The sad thing here is that there still wasn’t a spot for me so I would be getting a makeshift cube. While having this conversation, I noticed my future desk being wheeled off to the back side of a cube. My new “cube” would actually only have two walls.

As long as I had a computer with e-mail and internet access it really wouldn’t bother me all that much. I did NOTHING at all during those first few weeks besides online training. Luckily I was in the process of having a few projects transfer to me. It’s weird to say I was happy to be getting some work. Anyways, on the day that I was supposed to get my new half-cube, I actually got some good news. I was being moved yet again, but this time, into a full cube. After some extensive cleaning with a bottle of “Desk & Office Cleaner” I started to familiarize myself with my new home. It’s pretty much what you’d expect. I work in a cubicle. I have a desk. There are walls around me. I have a phone. This shit isn’t rocket science, its corporate America. Yee-haw.

Well let’s fast forward a bit to my current situation. I still have the same number of projects as originally assigned to me. This is nice. I’m fully transitioned onto these projects, and pretty much everyone here seems to go out of their way to help me out on any questions I have. It’s weird…I actually like my job. I’m getting more and more busy everyday and that doesn’t bother me. The first time I saw a paycheck, all I could do was smile, then buy a shit ton of scratch off lottery tickets. I think my total gain in that was about $7.00.

Okay, I know this whole post today doesn’t really fit with the theme or feel of this blog, but I just kind of felt like making a “happy” post. I’m happy. I have a good job; I AM going to be buying a house once I can find one. Life is pretty good right now.

There is just one more thing to note as I finish up this blog post of sunshine and golden showers. (I know). This type of post will be a damn rarity in the future. I like speaking my mind on dumb shit so if anyone has any topics that they’d like to hear me rant on, just leave a comment and I promise I’ll try to write something on it. I’m not wearing any clothes right now.
