So, I am well underway at the new job. It is very bizarre being back in an office environment- working at a restaurant is SO different from an office atmosphere, it really is. The whole reason I went to go work at The Restaurant is because my office job was boring the pants off me, not to mention making me gain weight!

So here I am, back at a desk! I do, however, get to run around the country club, talking to chefs and golf pros and servers in my quest to organize perfect events, so I get to move around quite a bit. I can also head out to the driving range or the course whenever I please and golf FOR FREE!! This would be much more exciting if I had ever golfed in my life, or if I even cared one tiny iota about golf, but as it is, I do love anything free, so I'm happy.

I finished my third day today and am so far happy. I am finally starting to "get" the event planning software and have finished bleach-wiping my desk/phone/computer/anything breathed on or touched by former employees. I set up my voicemail and finally got access to my company email account today. Business cards should be arriving next week, and today my boss gave me his company password and username (!) for Staples and I went on a shopping spree! Fellow Event Planner and I wrote out a little wishlist, and I spent a few hours searching out everything we could ever want or need before pressing "send" and being guaranteed that our purchase would arrive by Monday! I'm so excited! I got myself a new mouse, a desk protector/writing surface, new pencils, scissors, a tape dispenser, a new waste bin (Boss's idea!), new binders, and a whole hanging file holder set! I think that's it, but there really might be more . . . let's just say that not only is it the most I've ever been allowed to purchase for myself on a company account on my third day, but it is ALL I've ever been allowed to purchase on a company account and I am drunk, people, DRUNK with power!!!

I have a midterm tomorrow, so I really should go study, but please don't let me forget about the rock star revival story . . . it's a good one!
