I miss my computer. I miss my friends in my computer. Dealing with people in real life is a strange, strange phenomenon… I’m not sure I can cope!

Just kidding.

I am actually loving it, however it is different to have to build relationships with people outside of my circle, and I find that in some situations I am a little lacking in the social skills department. It’s really ashame, because the people around me are missing out on a ton of wit and charm because I lack the skill to deliver it to them. You know, the way I deliver it to you. Here. Now.

But seriously, there is not a lot of time in this job right now for wit and charm. As a matter of fact, all of the knowledge gained feels a little bit like it’s shoving the wit and charm right out of me, and it’s scary! I went to Barnes & Noble and bought 4 books (all literature, too!) on the 2nd day of the job because as much as I was learning, my brain felt STARVED for knowledge!! However, I can’t stay coherent for more than one page at a time when I get a moment to read because I.AM.SO.TIRED.

What I hate most about this week is training during the day, because dadgum I miss my kid!! I caught myself buying him things today and realized it was because I feel guilty for leaving him. I’m glad I decided to work nights. While I will miss at least 3 nights a week with him, I will only miss a couple of hours of awake time as opposed to nearly ALL awake time. I don’t know how people do that… or how they can afford to – you know, to buy things for the kid out of guilt and still manage to profit from the job! ha. I am kidding, I would never do that. No really. I’m just hoping I won’t have to, because I totally would… Retail therapy gets me EVERY time. Hands down.

I miss taking pictures too. I don’t think that photography on the job would be very conducive to maintaining a positive employment status. That sucks. I would so document the job via photography if I could. You would love it, too. Trust me.

That won’t happen though, so I leave you with this.
