Few minutes to write an entry because I feel like I leave myself hanging after every stressed out entry I write.
I slept 10 hours last night and I feel like a new person. I’ve now been in my new job for a month and it is starting to feel like a year already. It’s hard, people. Probably the most difficult of my life, but I say that every time I get a new job, so I should be feeling OK for saying that, I guess.
The hardest part is that every single second of my day is filled…I mean FILLED with stuff. I barely have time to pee and when I do I take my phone with me in case I miss an email. I am going to have to learn how to manage these kinds of things somehow.
Some of the weird things include having a phone call that lasts for an hour with a salesperson right before our one hour conference call where we say pretty much the same thing we’ve already discussed. THAT kind of shit is going to stop. That was two hours out of my twelve hour day on Friday. Bullsh.
I’ll start listing out some good things now.
The majority of the sales staff is pretty young…and there are several very handsome straight men. This is the complete opposite of the fashion industry, and I’m not sure yet what to make of it. I’m just not used to working this way and I get a little turned around and…I don’ t know…off? On? It’s fine. Just different. And kind of fun!
The office building is brand new, high tech, and very cool. Lots of room to spread out. Plenty of conference rooms, etc. I rather like that part. It’s open and I have a big cubicle, which sucks because people pop over to say things, but it’s still very nice, and I do like the impromptu meetings where things get decided quickly like that.
My peers are all very cool, and that is a blessing.
My staff is extremely competent, and that is a miracle.
Enough about work?
Home life is OK. My apartment is a mess and that’s driving me crazy.
My love life is also somewhat a mess because I don’t spend the night with SexyPants anymore. We have our weekends and spend a lot of time together because SOS is doing OK with being unsupervised, but I still won’t spend the night at that house, and it makes SP frustrated.
SOS has done surprisingly well, and for that I’m happy. But he’s still a bit of a ticking time bomb and I worry that SP is letting down his guard a bit. Still, SP is such a great dad – even with the guilt thing. He spoils that kid like crazy, but again, not my place to ever say anything to him about that.
SOS has been making girlfriends, which is great, to a point. You know he goes to a special school for mentally challenged kids and his latest girlfriend is bipolar, which…fun. Her moods sometimes dictate his moods, but really, these girls keep him extremely occupied and his dad lets him spend hours upon hours on the phone with them.
Today, we are all getting in the car to visit my parents. My brother is back from China because of Chinese New Year and the change in the school year so we’re all going to lunch. I’m excited to see him!
I better get ready. SP and SOS will be here soon to pick me up.
I love you! Happy Sunday!
