I just finished my FIRST week of having a big girl job.
emma25 emailed me the ending to Groundhog Day - Thanks, woman! And also? She commented on how early I was up.
Whelp, yeah. That's because my work day starts at 6:45am.
Yes. A-YEM.
But, okay, I am a morning person anyway, thanks to my dad who never let me "sleep in" for one a single day of my childhood. Seriously. I didn't "sleep in" until I lived alone my senior year in college. And THAT, my friends, was staying in bed until a slovenly 8:30am (I know, let the pearl clutching commence). Picture it: I was all proud of myself and then my friends were like, "Eh. That's not sleeping in. Not so much."
Anyway. From one who has been molded into Positively Perky from 5am on, I give you a list of what's rad about my job:
1) I am DONE for the day at 2:45pm
2) Which means I can go home and take a nap, or a bubble bath, or watch Dr. Phil, or go to dance class, or go shopping, or go to dance class OR...work out in the hedgehog's SWEET gym.
3) which comes with a personal trainer and (p.s.) it's FREE!
4) It's a really great gym.
5) I work on the 48th floor next to a bay window that spans 40 feet. My friends? The sunrise is incredible. And if that's all I can get out of having to get here so early in the morning, then that's OK.
6) BUT, wait -- there's more! I am here at the ass crack of dawn and...nobody else is.
7) Which means the whole first half of my day is in relatively blessed quiet.
8) I am in extremely close to the following businesses:
Post office
Bath & Body works
Coliseum Books
Mickey Dees (for the free ATM)
JAMBA JUICE (!!!!)
Papyrus
Origins
Little Pie Company
NY Public Library
Pier One Imports
Ricky's cosmetics
Chipotle (OMG, Chipotle!!!)
Needless to say, I am quite pleased. Beyond the profit sharing, 401K, paid vacation stuff -- I have all this. The only thing that is missing is an ANTHROPOLOGIE.
But, you know, that's okay.
God doesn't want me to get too smug and spoiled, perhaps.
