Okay so back in September 2015, I changed jobs. Previously I was working for an electrical contractor 25 hours per week as an office manager, now I work for an accounting firm 40 hours per week as a staff accountant.  Who knew what a difference that 15 hours would make in my life! I miss all of that time.  I miss hanging out at the house with my dog, or taking him to work me.  I really didn't realize just how spoiled I was.  LOL!   I am literally "putting on my big girl pants".  I am, however, finally getting used to things.  I am discovering new talents:

1. I can juggle, never knew that about myself. 
2. I can also cook and clean a lot faster. 
3. I have learned to take time and look outside my office window and watch people, people are definitely worth watching!  
4. Since I can't watch Netflix at work (without a lot of effort) I have learned to listen to audio books, brushing up on my listening skills, definitely needed that.
5. I can appear to be busy without necessarily being busy, like now! Ha!  Maybe not a good trait but a necessary one.  I have to rely on other people giving me work and when they don't I am stuck trying to look busy while waiting for stuff to come in.  
6. I am learning to be more creative with my time.
7. I can travel without having an anxiety attack!  Have to travel a bit with this job.

There are probably more but I can't think of them right now.   There are a lot good things about this job also.

1. I am downtown so there is a lot more to see.
2. I like the people I work with.
3. One of the partners reminds me of Michael Scott on the Office.  
4. I am actually doing what I trained to do.

I am sure there are more.

Bottom line I am adjusting.  I will survive.  I still miss my dog, though.
