New Job Has Changed.

Well, I have been at my new job for over a month.  At first I loved it but then it went downhill.  There was a twenty-year old girl training me that would tell me about my mistakes outloud so the whole office could hear.  That made me feel like it is a job that I couldn't do.  I now not only let the receptionists have lunch but at one of the locations I am there in between the day receptionist and the evening one.  The receptionists sit on bar stools and I then hurt my foot that had the surgery.  I went on work restrictions but my supervisor wasn't following them.  I gave my two week notice.  My supervisor wanted to know if I would be interested in part-time.  I said yes.  When we finally talked it became part-time file clerk and receptionist with when there is nothing to do, go home.

This is not at all what I interviewed for and want to do.  I am looking for something else.  I ready to quit right now and work more at Target until I can find something else.

I am frustrated because I have searched for something different than retail for four years and this is what happens.  I don't understand why and what I am suppose to really do for a career.  Back to the praying.

Visit to Michigan to see our daughter

We went out to Grand Rapids, Michigan to visit our daughter at college.  It was a nice visit.  We toured a coffee brewery, Gerald Ford Museum, the Grand Rapids Public Museum and went on a Fall Color Tour.

My husband excluded me from visiting my daughter.  When we would walk, I would be behind them.  Grandted I was slow due to my foot surgery, but he could have gone ahead or behind us.  We did things he wanted to do, but didn't get to do the things I did.  Our meals were for him and if not he complained.  I wish I had stayed home, but of course not work.

The Gerald Ford Museum was great.  I learned so much.  We didn't see it all as we needed to have lunch.  The Public Musem was great also.  We didn't see everything there either, it was huge.  It had normal exhibits and also the history of Grand Rapids.  We did go to a apple orchard hoping to get apple donuts.  We waited in line for about fifteen minutes only to be told they didn't have any.  We started out on the fall color tour which was beautiful.  But, we got to the end of a road where there was to have been a bridge, but no bridge.  There was a small river so we couldn't cross.  We tried to find our way around to the other side but it didn't happen.  We then took the GPS way back to the hotel.  The leaves were beautiful so we did get that.

Here are a couple of pictures from the trip.

The Real World has settled in

Well, I have finished my second week back to work at Target.  I have had another week at my new office job.  I now remember why surgeons give you work restrictions.

After a four hour shift at Target my foot is swollen and painful.  After a eight hour day at the office one it is swollen from not walking or having it elevated.

I like my new job.  I do hate giving the receptionists their lunches.  That is too confusing for me.  It is nice to have my mind challenged and work with numbers again.  The drive sucks!!!  The pay is great.  Will I work at this place until I am 65, don't know yet.  I miss having free days to go to the bank, post office or store.  I also miss seeing my horse.

My horse though has been unrideable for about two weeks.  The mud makes it so that she keeps hurting her muscles.  She is outside almost 24 hours a day and that doesn't give her legs a rest.  I am looking at other places to see if there is anything better.

I splurged with my first paycheck and bought fall decorations for by the front door.  I hope you enjoy the picture.
