Today was not just any normal day. It had been raining so hard overnight and during the morning hours, that roads were flooded , roads closed and lets just say bad traffic all around town. I thought it would take me at least 2 hours to get to work, but it only took me about 1 1/2 hours. Not really that bad considering I had to drive to downtown in rush hour traffic with a torrential downpour. However, the day got better from there. It was pretty much a typical first day - orientation, computers, office setup, lunch with my new team and paperwork. There were 2 big bright spots in the day - I got flowers on my first day from Hallie & Patrick and it only took me 35 minutes to get home (and no I didn't speed that much!).
On my first day of EMployment, here are my top 10 things about being EMployed.
10. No more "certifying" to get my unemployment check every week.
9. No more battling traffic into downtown on Friday nights - I will already be there!
8. Free parking for downtown events
7. Learning a new industry and new things from different people
6. No more Interviews, no more questions on how interviews went and no rejection emails/phone calls.
5. Meeting new people, making new friends
4. Being downtown where I connect with other friends - friends at GP, Phyllis and Stephanie.
3. Getting my plan to move ITP back in motion
2. Being a productive member of society again
and the #1 thing about being EMployed again...
1. Getting a real check every other week versus just the unemployment check
