ahhh...i can't believe i have survived my first week! it's been really great but so chaotic.

first of all, i LOVE working downtown. (i reserve the right to change my mind at any time.) i love looking out the window of my cube and seeing the kansas city skyline. it's incredible!

the job itself is going to be a wonderful experience for me. the most difficult thing will be un-learning what i knew at my previous job. the benefits are so incredibly different and i can see myself getting flustered and confusing what i once knew to what actually is. does that make sense?

my boss is very hands off, which i like. she's given me the basics of my position and has told me to run with it! so, since it's a new position, i'll be creating it's daily functions. very exciting. the two others in my department are great, as well. one is so sweet and so caring. the other is very abrasive and i can see us butting heads a bit. but that's work for ya!

also, they have a full cafeteria. i love it because they have fresh sliced lemons and i can put them in my morning water. such a bonus! and, since i need to talk about food some more...fresh baked muffins every morning.

all in all, a successful first week. i really hope i make this my permanent home. there is so much room for growth and an incredible retirement plan. ha! planning for retirement, already!
