pluggin along

So, I'm starting on the third week of my new job. I have my good days and my bad days, but overall I really can't complain because it's so much less stressful than my last cock up of a job. Yesterday kind of sucked just because we had a lot of students with lists and I'm still learning where everything is so it's sometimes hard to tell kids where things are when I don't even know what the thing they need is or whether we even carry it. I've started on a new diet which is cutting my normal caloric intake pretty much in half, which is a good thing because I've probably been eating for someone who does a 5 mile run every day, but my body is having a hard time adjusting so I was pretty out of it and hungry all day. And to top off my 9 hour shift we had 5 people in the store well after closing time which means I didn't get home from work until well after 8pm. But, I am proud of myself that even as tired as I was I still managed to drag myself and Chris to the gym to do the elliptical for about 25 minutes. Tonight I am hoping to do the full weight lifting and cardio thing.

I'll be honest, I'm not looking forward to today. To start things off, I'm awake at 7am, which doesn't happen anymore. The reason I'm up so early is that I have to drive out to West Hartford to a Catholic College so that I can hand out coupon fliers to art students. Now, the plus side is that I'm getting paid for the time I'm putting in to do this including getting reimbursed for my mileage, but I not only have to get down there but I have to locate this room and all I have is a building name, the name of the teacher and the name of the class. And even then I don't know if she's even going to allow me to hand out fliers or if she's going to get mad that I'm soliciting and kick me off the campus. I have NEVER had to do this before for any job so needless to say I'm not stoked on the idea. But, my hope is that she's a nice lady and she lets me do what I need to do and get out of there. Then, after that I have to drive to work and then I'll be there until 6pm. So, yeah, fun times yall! I should probably get off of this thing and make the final preperations for my day. I will blog later about how it all went down. Wish me luck.
