Today was my first day at my new job, and my 4th day at my new home for the summer. You would figure that after moving back and forth some hundred times from school that this move would be easy. However, when simple country girls move to big time cities, moving is all but easy.
My apartment -- Amazing! Great location, just a few miles from a HUGE and GORGEOUS park that I have taken up running in (gotta do something with my time when I have no ponies around...) and it has an amazing view. The roommate -- Awesome too! We so click, except for the fact that I have to co-habitate with two very friendly cats for the first time in my life, EVER! But get this folks cause I am only gonna say it once -- The cats and I are co-habitating ... and I don't wish them dead, so life is great!
Interstate/City driving -- took me for a bit of a loop today, and yesterday, and the day before that, but its OK, I found Wal-Mart! So it is not that bad. I have only managed to go the wrong way down a one-way street just once and without accidents -- life is OK. Trip time to work during rush hour -- 15 minutes! What more could you ask for?
At work, I get to park in my very own parking garage. I am pretty sure I have never parked in one of those before. What nobody tells you about parking garages is that parking is the easy park -- finding your car after your long day, not so easy, even if you remember what level you parked on. (yep, picture me wandering all around like the lost dimwit looking for her obviously moved car....I swear someone moved it!) Oh well, I am sure that by summers end I will master both the interstate and parking garages. Following parking in a secure garage, I get to take a very classy red flagged shuttle bus that takes me right to the front door of my building. I almost feel like work for the president, not that I would ever work for this president, well -- maybe royalty...I could do that. I could do anything to live in another country, how awesome woudl that be!
I rememver when I worked at Frito Lay how we had to have this name badge to get into the building, kinda like a prison entrance. Most people need clearance to get out of prison, I had to have clearance to get into that prison. But my ID Badge folks, not just to get into the building and parking garage, but to open about 95% of the hundred doors I walk through every day. My badge had might as well be glued to my hands it is crazy but understandable. I will bet you today, in my first 8 hours, I used my ID card at least 50 times -- 50! Thats like 45 valuable minutes of my life gone due to card swiping -- wierd! Let me tell you though -- every time that card reader says accept and the door grants me access and flashes me a bubbly color green, I feel super special!
Today was kinda boring -- I am with the quality control people today... So about the most I got to show expensive college education today was that I can do a physical exam on a guinea pig -- oh, and tell you if they have a pretty pink winky hiding in their fuzzy man parts or not! Yep, that was the highlight of my day -- yipee! It kinda remined me of pop-goes-the-weasel. "Hmm, let me see here, nope I think your a girl - POP, ohhhh... I found it!" Oh, I also got introduced to the mice, rat, guinea pig, ferret, sheep, monkey, frog, rabbit, and fish rooms today. Boy, am I looking forward to spending time with all of those... too cool! Totaly makes coming to this big bad city worth it!
So what if it is a new city, a big city, a strange city -- I get to sex guinea pigs yo! What can you do?
