Updates: The Job, The Boys?, and The Partys

It seems like forever since I've written a blog and I figure I'll go ahead and update all my loyal readers (all two of them LOL)about the things going on in my life. For the most part I've been preoccupied with the following things, my job, the guys I'm talking to, and the upcomming holiday/birthday parties.

THE JOB

It's hard to believe, but I'm now over a month into my new job. With how much I've been doing/learning it feels like I've been there longer, but in reality it's only been a little over a month. Although I started later than my peers, I've pretty much caught myself up with all my trainings and I'm at the same training level as my peers. I'm sorta catching on to things and things that seemed very overwhelming, such as the computer system and all the medical terminology, now it all seems fairly easy. I still feel as if I've got a LOT to learn before I feel 100% comfortable, but I guess that will come with time. After talking to some of my coworkers who have been there longer, they've all told me to relax and that the job takes a good year before one truly feels as if he/she knows what they're doing. I'll say that is a comfort to hear, but all the "veterans" seem to make this job look so easy. Maybe in a year's time I'll be the one offering similar advice to a newly hired employee.

THE BOYS?

Maybe I should say "the lack there of". With starting this new job, I've not really made dating a priority and I'll say I've become somewhat disillusioned with this whole online dating nonsense. Although I frequent "Myspace.com" on a regular basis, I no longer use it as a dating service and I stopped checking out the profiles, but rather use it as a means to socialize with the friends I already know. There are a few guys I"m talking to online who I've met/reacquainted myself with through "Myspace" a while ago. They all seem like nice guys in thier own way, but they all live out of state. Although these guys live in my neigboring states, they're still over an hour's drive away. Also, I've yet to meet any of them in person so who knows if we'll hit it off in person like we did over the phone/internet. Maybe we're all better off remaining as friends?

THE PARTIES

Speaking of Friends, I'll say working this new job has allowed me more time to hang out with my friends and this weekend will be no exception. In addition to my annual holiday party this friday, my friend Allison is having a B-day celebration on Saturday in which we're all going to go Ice Skating. I'm definitley excited about that as I have never gone ice skating before. I just hope I don't fall too hard on the ice. The following day (Sunday) my friend Stacey will be returning form her studies in New Mexico and having a little party. I'm definitley looking forward to that as it has been ages since she and I have hung out.

Ok, I think that nicely updates everyone (all two of them) about the things going on in my life at this perticular moment in time. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted as I continue on this indredible journey known as life : )
