Tomorrow morning at 8:30 (ugh) a.m. I start my (what I'm certain will be) fabulous new job.
I haven't been the new kid in a really long time...14+ years actually...so I'm a bit nervous.
Oh, and I know I mentioned that I have to be there at 8:30 and where I have to go for my 2 weeks of training is further than my old office, the office where I was hard-pressed to arrive at before 9:15 a.m., and on first days you want to make a good impression and all.
So I have to leave the house at 7:00 a.m.
That's 7:00 a.m. out the door folks. That's earlier than I used to get up for my old job.
I'm 99.9% certain that the dress code at the new gig is business casual, but they weren't real particular about telling me for certain, so I'm going to err on the side of caution and go cute and professional but not ultra-dressed up.
Of course this means that I have thought and re-thought my outfit only 9,000,000,000 times.
Last night the planned ensemble required that I buy a new pair of shoes, but when I got to the store to buy the new shoes I couldn't remember what that outfit was, so I left new-shoeless.
And right there, on the spot, in the store I decided on the perfect outfit, and what was even better was that I actually already own all the parts to it, so while I might have loved to buy something, I'd rather know for sure what I'm going to need to wear on a daily basis and buy more of that than something I might need sometimes.
You know what I mean.
So I'm going to be the new kid tomorrow. And like I said I'm nervous.
So send me some good juju. You can't comment but you can either send me some mental good vibes, or a groovy e-mail of love.
