Haven’t been blogging a lot lately. It’s getting close to the end of the winter semester at school so I’m frantically trying to finish assignments and prep for exams in two weeks. I’ve a nice solid A in my Mil Psych course pre-exam and feeling pretty confident about the subject matter. Wish I could say the same about my other two classes. Stats and Experimental Psych are somewhere in the realm of B going into exams. I’m hoping I don’t mangle the exams in those two classes. I have an extra few weeks before I need to start worrying about them though. Only bright side about the courses.<\/p>\n
There’s a lot of subject matter and new systems to learn at work so I’m pretty busy there. The overall environment is very different from the college but in a good way. Everyone seems more relaxed and laid back. Kinda like our office was when we got into giggle fits back in the day. Oddly enough, for a government office, there seems to be a lot less politics here. Then again, everything is still so shiny and new.<\/p>\n
One thing I have noticed off the bat is that there’s more opportunity for me to do the things I enjoy and to offer input. It’s nice to be heard and appreciated \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
And everyone talks like the 12 month probation period is just a quick formality to walk through. My new boss is already talking about upcoming raises in Sept. and April! Raises always make a girl happy.<\/p>\n
I do miss my former co-workers. We had talked about getting together for drinks or dinner after it was all over but I haven’t heard anything yet. Maybe it’s all still too soon. Then again, Dr. D and Big Momma R do no where I live so there’s no excuse for not dropping by for a beer on the back patio some day. They just can’t come in the house. Tornado puppies have done quite a number on it lately *sigh* That goes for everyone, you too D.<\/p>\n
Last thought of the night surrounds my glasses. Now that I have my new prescription I’m thinking about taking my old frames in to get new lenses put in them. Over the years I’ve learned that you can never have too many spare pairs of glasses. I just need to check out the pricing before I commit to anything. Considering what we paid for these frames, I think it’d be a shame not to reuse them. I couldn’t get new lenses put in them when I got my new glasses because I needed them to see so I could drive while I waited for the new ones to arrive. At the time an old weaker prescription was better than no glasses at all…<\/p>\n
Weather is beautiful. Think I’ll go enjoy dinner on the deck before I tackle more homework. Hope everyone else is taking the time to enjoy the evening as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
