Finally!

I finally got a job... and a good one for that matter!

I am so lucky to be hired on as a lead secretary at a state agency! Which means, medical and dental, a retirement plan, sick leave, vacation time, and paid holidays. I hit the mother load! And I am absolutely grateful and content with this new position. I feel like I deserve it. I was at my wits end... and I have worked really hard.

Some staff members took me out to lunch the other day. I had the mortifying moment when they all confessed to Googling me and finding all my music recordings and videos/films, and this blog... so I suppose I should give a shout out to all of the the EAP people who may be reading this. :)

I started working this past week, December 28. Toward the end of my first day, my supervisor (who is awesome!) told me that I needed to take my "Personal Holiday" day before the end of the year or I would lose it. Since personal days do not carry over year to year. So, here I am, in my first week of my new job... with a paid day off.

NOW what am I supposed to write about in my stupid whiny blog? I have a great job... I have the best boyfriend ever... hmmmmmmm... Life is pretty wonderful! But I'm sure I'll find something to complain about soon.

2009 was an eventful year for me. Full of extreme highs and extreme lows. I think it has been... scratch that, I am positive it has been the most Bi Polar year of my life. I kind of feel like there is nowhere to go but UP from now on! I sure hope so! I see a light at the end of the tunnel! And that light just might be retirement... but for now let's just pretend that the light is 2010.
