Lately

Well, first of all, sorry for the long space between now and my previous blog. I have been wanting to update, but due to the following factors, time has not been easy to come by:

1. Realized that the enterprise career path was actually NOT for me, and invested time and considerable mental stress into looking for another job. {everyone knows job hunting is no easy feat}

2. Interviewed for a position, waited for 4............................weeeeeeeks to hear back, and fiiiiiiiiiiinally got word that I GOT THE JOB!!! {hooray for a normal, balanced life now}

3. Moved into a new apartment in East Boston {more on that in another post}

The funny thing is, it's July and in a couple of weeks Brigham and I will be coming up on our year anniversary, and I feel a little hint of deja vu. They say the most stressful life events/changes are (a) marriage (b) job change (c) moving. Last year, I got the joy of dealing with all three when we got married, then one week later moved from So Cal to Boston, then interviewed for enterprise at the same time. This year, I just got to deal with (b) and (c). However, I'm definitely NOT complaining, because this time around the changes are awesome!

Sorry, no pictures yet. I am kind of waiting for a photoshop program. In the mean time, I promise my next blog post will detail the cuteness of my new place, and some of the awesome things Brigham and I have been doing around town to enjoy summer!

A Day in My Life

*alarm*
{4:00 am}

*drive or walk 6 blocks to work*

*stay there and ask these questions about 30 thousand times*

{"Would you like a toll pass, gas, or an upgrade?"}

*while secretly thinking*

Yes? Hah sucker!
No, OK, you suck.

...12 hours later...

...finally go home. Eat. Sleep. Love my husband. Think about going to the gym. Watch TV. Say a prayer. Sleep.

They say the company I work for is one of the best places to launch a career. It's true, in a way, because if I REALLY wanted to, I could easily double or triple my salary in probably less than a year or two. My current managers who have been with the company 4 years are making +6 figs.

The only problem is that, according to my calculations, each promotion you get adds an extra 20 grueling, grinding hours to your schedule, with the added bonus of dealing with problem customers. Manage an Airport, and you're bumped up to 100 hrs/week.

Goodbye sleep. Goodbye enjoyable, balanced life. HELLO MONEY!!!

Mmmmm. Sounds like me doesn't it! Where do I sign up?! Oh wait, I already am signed up. I'm just wading in the kiddie pool at 50-60 hours a week...

It's great that I'm sooooo motivated by money (sarcasm included).

Once I was a really deep thinker, I was so deep that I rarely came up for air. Well, those days are long gone. Now, thanks to Enterprise Rent-a-Car, I'm living on the surface. I feel like a blond surfer chick that just rides one train of thought all day; I am saying goodbye to my childhood again, saying sayonara to my deep thoughts time. Now, I think about basically, well, nothing. By nothing, I mean for 12 hours a day I think about this:

"Would you like a toll pass, pre-paid gas, or an upgrade?"

*the end*
