Working Girl

By my rough calculations it has been 751 days since I worked full-time. Wow. This morning that all changed. I set my alarm for the first time in weeks and now I'm a working girl once again.

A few First Day thoughts:
- I don't think I've typed on an actual keyboard (not my laptop) in 751 days. It's a little weird.
- Showing up for work at 9am is lots easier than showing up for an 8am class.
- I am going to learn so much more than I ever thought was possible about laundry!
- 25 cent Diet Coke
- A window with a view!
- I thought it would be a long, exhausting day, but dare I say it was fun?

So far so good. I think I'll go back again tomorrow. :)

I attribute bullet point #2 to the forthcoming paycheck that school did not provide...

Well I mean it's only day 1, but no that hour really makes a world of difference to me in the mornings. Plus no one is going to cold call me about a reading I didn't do!

Congrats on your first day in the working world! Go laundry!

What is this about laundry? Did you send your laundry out in Provo?

Anyway, congrats on your first day of work. I like that you have calculated EXACTLY how many days it's been.

Window with a view...that was one thing I was very excited about with working.

Glad it was a good day - the first day can be rough!

751 days? I am so jealous. It's only been 12 days for me.

Elizabeth, I may be out of control but sending your laundry out in Provo is beyond even me :) The company I work for makes laundry detergent.

Yes but Katie you get all summer EVERY summer!
