It's been almost a full week since heading back to a full time job after 6 months and I've been a bit absent in blogland. No sewing has happened here in a while. I've been leaving my house at 7:15 am to get to work for 9:00 and not getting home until 7:00 pm. Can you say loooooong day?!
But the job... I like it! Major adjustment to where I was to where I am now. New processes and such but the people in my office are really nice and the team that I'm working closely with - Super! We may be all spread out; most are on the west coast. Only 2 of us are here on the east coast and she's in Long Island. So I sit by my lonesome but I'm okay with it. I spent my first couple of days just doing HR stuff and getting a feel for things. I actually started doing actual work yesterday! Super exciting! Another nice thing was that my "at home" work schedule was approved so I only have to drive into the office on Mondays and Wednesdays. Not bad, eh?
My husband has been great all week. Pretty much holding down the fort with Amelia in the mornings. I think the kinks are all ironed out and we'll get back to "normal" on Monday.
Since the west coasters are still asleep when I pop onto the computer, I took a quick ride to the store and bought myself a new walking foot. FINALLY! Mine has only been busted for 3 months! I can now continue with my November Santa Swap item. I got everything cut but I need a walking foot to put together. Hmmmm, I wonder what it can be?!
That's all for now. I'll talk to you all again soon!
Enjoy your day!
Jen

ReplyDeleteI'm glad the first week went well and you're working out all the kinks! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSo happy that your job is working out and that you can have some shorter days by not commuting.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job! having to drive into work only two days is fantastic--for your time, mileage and gas! I wish you the absolute best! You are always in my best thoughts! Take care.
ReplyDeleteJen, that's great that the new job is going well. Sounds like it's working out. Do you have family around to take care of Amelia after school? That's what's kept me from working, I don't have family around to help with the kids. I'm jealous! :-) Anyway, congrats again on the new job (and the new walking foot)!
ReplyDeletegood luck with your new job Jen,it sounds like you have everything under control
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job. How nice to be able to work from home and only go "in" 2 days of the week! You could even work some sewing into those days at home...shhh, I won't tell.
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad everything is going well and you're enjoying the new position. Whew!
ReplyDeleteYou'll get back to sewing soon, when things calm down. hahahahaha. Sorry - that's me laughing at myself... you know the rest of that story...
I'm so glad to hear that the new job is going well. How nice to be able to work from home! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad things are working out with the new job! And I'm glad you can work at home too! That's bound to make things a lot easier! :0)
ReplyDeleteYipee! I'm really glad that you like your new job. And now that you're doing real work, does this mean the end of bored office workers talking LOL?
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read the long hours I thought....oooooo! But then you get to work from home too!!! YEAH you landed a great job!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your at home schedule will work out. That will help the transition. When do you start that? Remind me to tell you why you need to pop into Michael's.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great outlook about your new job, and I'm sure your stellar attitude contributes to your enjoyment. Perhaps things will settle a bit with the schedule and you will find 'spare' moments now and again for sewing. It will still be there when you are ready. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new job, Jen. It sounds great! You're fortunate to only have to drive in twice a week.
ReplyDeleteI like your new header. Amelia is looking so beautiful and grown up.
