I Have a Job! YAY!

So, I started work today! YAY! Let me tell you there have definitely been moments over the past couple of months that made me wonder if this day would EVER come-ha!

I began to prepare for my big day last night-you know cause I think I am going to iron my clothes and make my lunch the night before for about ONE day, and then I am back to rushing in the mornings-ha! I made sure I had my outfit planned. When I was hired, the only thing the man would tell me about my attire was to be professionally casual, wear slacks, and make sure I had on COMFORTABLE shoes-ha! I guess he wasn't too impressed with the stilettos I wore in my interview. Thus, I decided that neat and tidy over fashionable and done up would be the best bet for the first day on the job (ex: super cool outfit in awesome picture-ha). Anyways, I had it all planned out and ready to go by 8pm, watched a little Duggars special on TLC, and was lights out by 9pm.-had to get good sleep, and Im pretty much a granny-ha!

I knew I was in trouble when the first hour of being in bed was spent battling nerves. I NEVER do well walking into new situations....I am in my heart a shy person, and it just makes me SO anxious. Then there was a baby who decided last night from 1am-3am would be optimum SCREAMING time-ha! When I was first woken up with screaming, I had very kind thoughts of maybe spending the time in prayer (for poor Jen and Micah rocking that baby, plus other things)-this lasted about half an hour. Around two I was in PLEADING mode that Amelia Please. Go. To. Sleep! And, by 2:30 when a dog began to go ballistic just as it seemed Amelia was quieting-I have to be honest-was bumped up to the cuss word mode!

Thankfully, I was finally able to rest, and woke up on time and ready to start my first day here.

The GLORIOUS Honda dealership! I must say, for the most part the day went well. I really like my boss, and felt comfortable with the tasks I was given. I don't have it all down by ANY means, but I can tell with a little practice I will be just fine:). The people were nice as well. I am working in the service department, so it is alot of maintenance guys and just a couple of girls. I liked everyone, and just hope that they are not thinking-who let this prissy girl in here!-ha! I think the highlight of my day came at lunch. I share a break room with the guys, so it was just me, one other lady, and about six guys. Lets just say there was some mustard spreading on cold pizza and-no lie- some dip spitting at the table-hah!

Either way, today I have a job, and that makes me....

HAPPY!

*these were a couple of verses I read while I was in the unemployment phase-they just encouraged me so much to persevere even when I wanted to give up, and that the LORD would see me through! *

"...Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings of eagles; they will run(job hunt;) and not grow weary, they will walk (work) and not grow faint."

Is. 40:31
