Finally, finally, I am on my way to getting what I want. Or, most of it anyway. I have a great job, which I just have to pass my probation and I'll really have it made. I'll be able to start paying off my student loans. It's been a long time since I've been able to send a payment in, and I really need to get that taken care of. It seems like waste because I didn't end up with a career in my field of study, but I'll tell you what...
A lot of employers just want their candidates to have a Bachelor's degree, no matter what the field. At least that will never be able to take that away from me.
I'll also be able to move into a bigger place, hopefully by this spring. I have a few other things to do before that can happen, but I am well on my way. Raven has been nagging me for a while for a bedroom of her own. Being in a one-bedroom is rather cramped, I'm not going to lie, but I also know that things could be a lot worse.
I survived my first day on the streets today. Handling mail is easy, but the walking has killed me today. I'll probably need a better pair of shoes soon. I bought a pair of boots because they are comfy and great support for my ankles. I'm surprised, actually, that I didn't trip over any of the cracks in the sidewalk today. I'm rather proud of that.
My trainer said I did great. There were a few issues beyond our control, but we still finished in good time. I ended up with some overtime, and I'm not complaining. Every little bit helps.
I know that it is going to take some time to get everything down, like my routine and whatnot, but I know that I'll be able to get it done. I'm smart and I have great ability to learn things quickly. Especially if I have the drive. And right now, I have more drive than I know what to do with.
I am very glad to have two days before I go in again. I feel bad for some of my coworkers who might not be getting even a day in between their training days. I am looking forward to finishing my training days and getting down to the real business. I hear that I'm going to have more hours than I know what to do with. I'm excited. I just hope that it doesn't keep me past 6pm most days. Still have to make sure that Raven is picked up from the club. I'm not that worried about it, though.
I'm just super excited about the way things are going right now.
It's about freaking time, too.
