Working Barbie

Hello again online bloggers. It's been a few days since I last posted as I wanted to let my dating disasters sink in. But, today i have a much different topic. And that is the workforce. I am a full-time employee at a very nice establishment and as I do what I do day in and day out it seems only fair to assess my situation.

First of all I would like to make an observation. I have been told by numerous "adult-type" people that the age range of people entering the workforce is considerably younger. Personally I have not experienced this concept at all. In fact, most of the people in my office are mid 30's and older. It took me 3 months of searching to even land a job after graduation. And I consider myself one of the lucky ones. A good friend of mine is just now entering the "real world." I am excited for her and know the burden that has been lifted. Ah making end's meat.

Although I have only been with my company for about a month I have finally started to really get a feel for what I do. It's funny the dynamics of any given job. It's completely odd and exciting the different types of people that create my working family. And I call them just that. A family. Have you ever noticed that the people that you deal with on a daily basis really get to see you. And I mean the good, bad, and possibly ugly. Sure there is the professional facade. The time in your job that you act a certain way such as when your boss is lingering over your shoulder critiquing every call that you make or message that you take.

But then as the saying goes, when the cat's away the mice will play. My working environment is so relaxed. I can wear jeans, sandals, and a T-shirt as long as it's in good taste. I listen to whatever music that I want, I can even chat on AIM when I'm not too swamped. My boss is very personable, helpful, and organized. Hes a cute (short) bald man in glasses. He is also the Vice President of the company. I actually look forward to our interactions daily. Instead of this big scary boss mine is like a surrogate father.

There are many fun employees at my office, three of whom love to flirt with me. I tolerate it being that it is all in fun and I know that they are completely harmless and quite married. That's another thing about our work family. They all have long term loves. Makes me a little jealous.


Anyways getting back to the office. Being in such a diverse setting it's fun to interact with all these people that I would normally never really go out of my way to befriend. We have a company outing coming up. I can't wait to kick back drink some beer and see the Nationals play. I have also been asked to teach some golf.

In closing I guess I just really love my job at this current moment. The workforce is not as scary as I have assumed it would be.

My life continues to be full of random twists and turns, but that's how I like it.
