Work and moving stuff....

[blue_lotus13]

This week, I am laying out three newspapers, as my boss took the week off to stay home and work in her garden and such. This was one of the reasons why I am taking so long to move; I really wanted her to be able to take a bit of time off. My last move was so rushed, and this one is downright leisurely.

I am a bit stressed this week, because I don't do layout often, and because I also have to continue working on stories for next week's paper. This, to me, is the most challenging part. If my coworker and I let things slip, we'll suffer next week.

My replacement has already been hired, which makes me happy.

I'm going to miss the newsroom. Even though my coworkers annoy me sometimes, I do admit that they make me laugh a lot. It's going to be weird to be working alone.

All in all, this move was a tremendous success. My life turned around, and I have moved up in the world. I am saying goodbye to lots of people in the community and I keep telling them that Grande Prairie was very good to me, and that I just needed to get back to a larger centre. All of this is true. Grande Prairie was very good to me, even though I did find living here difficult. At times, I was very lonely and felt isolated from my friends in other centres. I missed the variety and choice in larger cities. But I did discover new passions and facets of myself.

All that said, I'm excited to be moving into a bigger apartment. I've gone to living with people, to living in a tiny bachelor, to living in a much larger one bedroom. With that comes furniture, incluging a big girl bed instead of a futon.

I'm thinking that I might celebrate my first day at work at my new job by wearing silk pyjamas. Since I'm going to be working from home, I think I want to wear something outrageous for my first day. I might buy myself a lounging kimono, or some silk pjs a la Hugh Hefner. We'll see. It's all very exciting.

I work from home too... one of my fellow home-working co-workers was talking about designing a line of fancy silk pajamas for telecommuters! Ha ha!

As it is, I'm currently working while wearing some boxer shorts with skulls on them and an old gray t-shirt with baby spit-up on it. VERY GLAM

Congrats on all of it, it sounds like this new move will be really good for you and I can't wait to hear about it!

I vote that you definitely wear something fabulous for your first day of work! I would add a feather boa to the silk pjs!!

I think you should get yourself a sexy red kimono. It would be fabulous to wear for your first day at "the office" plus, you'll have it on hand when you meet some hot man to bring home.
