Today my (brand new) boss took me and my office manager out for lunch.  And gave me chocolates.  All because it's Professionals Administration Week.  I've been working for him for 8 days.  I can't WAIT to see what I get after a month or better yet, a year. :)

No, I kid I kid... I know it's just the timing that I was hired, but still, it was mildly awkward because I hardly know these people and here we are sitting in Redstone, eating spinach salad and halibut fish cakes.

But we ended up having a really nice conversation.  We talked about our personalities, houses (boss man just bought a new house) and design.  We are all verrry different, but it's good... it's exactly what I need, so I'll take it.  Both my boss and office manager are straight-shooters and not super emotional people, so I'm interested to see where I fit in... 

Judy (my office manager) and I had a great conversation about our personalities yesterday and it kind of carried over into lunch today.  I confessed to her (yesterday) that I am the kind of person that needs everyone around me to happy/stress-free/ok before I can be happy/stress-free/ok.  At lunch she declared me the  "Emotional Barometer" (haha) for the office.  

Oh dear.  Is that something I want the boss knowing after 8 days of employment?  I'm not sure.  Oh well.  Might as well get it all out there.  The sooner the better, right :)

Other than divulging deep dark secrets about our personalities, work has been going great.  Everyday I have to remind myself of the learning curve.  I have never been in a position where I've had to get things accomplished at work as I learn.  My brain needs lots of breaks, let's just put it that way. :)  But honestly, it is going really well and I am thoroughly enjoying what I am learning.  I told Judy I need a "that was easy" Staples button to press when something clicks in my head, because that is honestly how I feel! haha..

Well, I am off to convince Tyler to take me out for supper.  After that awesome lunch I am still in a serious-no-cook mode. :)  Wish me luck.

You guys. TWO DAYS LEFT.  two days.
