New Beginnings

On June 1, I began my new job at the orthodontist office & today I worked my second day of work. I must say I did love my last job - but this new job is going to come pretty close to tying my last for best two jobs. And in two days I worked a total of 17.5hours! WOW! I suppose that is only 1.5 hours more than the average 8 hour working day but heck I'm beat. These last two days I spent a lot of time on my feet & that is a HUGE change from my last job as a secretary. & another plus... I don't have to fight with myself in the morning trying to figure out what to wear. The scrubs and the colors are already chosen for me. :)

Overall my first two days were good. Pretty average. I learned what the front desk people do on a day to day basis, the lab, & everyone else does daily. I learned new terminology - sanitary procedures, etc. Like I said pretty average.

I must add... it isn't so bad working with your someday future spouse; yes, if I didn't tell you before Rick works at the orthodontist office and is actually training me. He'll be basically training me until his last day in September - & then he'll begin his last semester of schooling before he becomes a secondary teacher! (Hopefully I will be prepared in the clinic before September to work on my own. I know I can do it!) So anyways Rick and I work together - while it is a little strange, it's all about work. It's strange when we don't even touch hands or have any physical contact what so ever. And in the morning meetings we don't even sit by each other. That's alright though... there is like 15 of us that squeezes into one small room for 15min to talk about the day.

Aside from the new job, Rick and I are (I don't want to say slowly) but we're working things out rather quickly - I'm excited to have taken the job out by his house & to be working with him (well at least until September) & lets not forget my upcoming move date... SO EXCITED. This is going to be a huge deal because #1 I've never lived completely alone before & #2 I can clean & decorate the entire place how I want it! #3 I will be less than 15minutes from Rick's!!! Did I mention that I am EXCITED? :) ;)

These next couple of days are going to be VERY busy. I am going to try and write a little something-something however tomorrow night (Wed) I am going with my friend Josh & some of his friends to the Tigers v. White Sox game! & Thurs is rehearsal & dinner for Scott & LeighAnn's wedding (Scott- Rick's twin brother & also the wedding I am a bridesmaid in) & Fri is their wedding & I will be yet another bridesmaid. (3rd time) I'll try posting pics of the wedding next week but I'm not making any promises - just in case I don't get to it. Ahhh 3 days until their wedding and my goodness I have nothing prepared. No nails done, I'm not hardly tan, and my eyebrows -yikes. Don't stress Erica... it will all get done.

Until next time.
