I did a practice drive to work on Monday, and made it in 33 minutes. So, I decided to tack an extra 10 minutes on for my drive on Tuesday so I could get there early. Sadly, the drive took 55 minutes on Tuesday, and I was 10 minutes late for my first day of work! I felt HORRIBLE!! Luckily, they were understanding, and no one seemed to say much of anything. Needless to say, I've been leaving at 7am each morning. That has put me at work anywhere from 7:40 to 7:50. Nice to be early, I just hate that long of a drive! I've started using some "back roads" (I don't think I can really call any roads in the CLT city limits "back roads") instead of the highways. It seems to take a few minutes longer, but I'm not on the highways with idiots. The "back roads" do have their own idiots, but it's usually idiots going 45mph instead of 65mph idiots. :)
I've been taught a TON of stuff. Noticed how I used taught instead of learned. I have learned a lot, but I'm not feeling comfortable with all of it. I get to do my first solo project on Monday, as the girl doing most of my training will be out of the office, so I just hope I don't destroy something. I think I'll be OK....but, there's always some nerves there!!!
I'll update more when I know for sure how I feel about the job. I know there are some things that I'll enjoy...I always seem to enjoy the mundane things...editing document templates, mail merging, etc.
In other news, my couponing time has become almost non-existent! I've been getting home at 6pm or later, which doesn't leave me much time or energy to focus on that when I have cooking, cleaning, and a husband!
When I got home last night, I looked up a few things, and went out to get a couple of items that I didn't have coupons for, and hit one little deal. Harris Teeter has some Aquafresh toothpaste on BOGO this week...$3.49 for two. I used two $0.75 off 1 coupons, which were doubled, for a grand total of $0.49, which is slightly less than $0.25 per tube. These are full-sized tubes, too, not trial. So, that was exciting. :)
Trying to enjoy the weekend and relax as much as I can...Monday will be here before I know it!
ETA: my cubicle! Now I need "decoration" suggestions :)
