To begin with, I got a job! I started yesterday and I must say it felt good. (This will be a quick post as I am currently picking out today’s outfit and then I have to go for a walk.) I thank God everyday that he has placed me in a Christian environment with like-minded individuals.
My list of what felt “good” yesterday, on my first day:
- When the receptionist, June, looked up my name on the list of accepted visitors.
- When I met a colleague who I believe will become good friends fast with.
- When we sat in the cafeteria for lunch. It felt a bit like high school, but I’m a student at heart, so that’s not such a bad thing.
- Clocking in and out!
- When they handed me my security badge and time card!!!
- And finally, when I rode the bus home, I had my security card prominently on display because I want everyone to know that I am now working girl!!! I was grinning from ear to ear on the bus. I got a few odd stares — from one woman in particular who eventually started to smile with me — but it was a great feeling to be on the commute back home.
We take so much for granted, but after not working in an official office for the past few months, I really missed it. Not to mention the consistent pay cheque that came with the consistent employment. Don’t get me wrong: I love writing for Smitten by the Written, but I’m an office worker and a follower at heart.
Well, I’m off for my walk. ‘Til the next time I come home tired from a hard day’s work!
Blessings
