Learn to Drive!

So, I can't remember where it is I left off in the story of my life...

I got the job I interviewed for. They called me the same night I went in. I'm now an Administrative Specialist. I moved from the slum I lived at and moved into a nice apartment complex. It took an act of God (or some friends and my amazing boyfriend) to get me moved.

Work has been pretty good. Rather hectic though. They keep me busy and are always giving me more to do. There's been some friction at work as a result of my promotion. I now have a lot more authority and responsibility. My former peers treat me a bit icily now... Some of them haven't changed with me. Others have put up an Iron Curtain though. I wish I could say I don't care, but I do. I want them to like me :(.

I do really love my job though. I get to do a variety of projects and have a varied day. My opinion is valued and people are interested in what I have to say. I'm learning a lot and stretching out my skills. I have a lot of freedom too. I can work out of any office with enough notice.

My divorce was finalized. I was a little sad about it being over, but that passed after about two hours. It was just another thing to check off my To Do list.

I'm still really happy with "mah man." He and I spend at least a few nights a week together. It's nice to be wanted ^_^.

I went to California to see my sister. We went to Disneyland and the beach. I bought a new bathingsuit. First one in nearly 10 years. I got a nice tan too.

I think the only real negative in my life is traffic. I've learned the "back roads" to get to work. It's nice to not have to sit in traffic as much as if I were to take the highway. Today a person pissed me off though. I try not to care if people cut me off or speed around me. It's not a big deal. But today, this stupid driver blocked a lane of traffic because she didn't get into the turn lane she needed to get in. Imagine three lanes going in one direction. Two of them are left hand turn lanes, the last a thru lane. Then put a diagonal across the ONE thru lane. The two turn lanes were backed up, but the thru lane was clear... except for the mini-van. If it were just traffic, I don't think I would have cared. But I could have wizzed by...

Anyways, I need to get some boxes unpack...
