The New Job

Started for my first morning at the new job today. Loved it!! Completely different feel to the other place. Premises are all light and airy. I am on front desk and have floor to ceiling glass in front of me. Processes are all in place and everything runs smoothly. Was learning the invoicing structure and how the accountant's work with their timesheets etc. Completely different to anything I have ever worked with. Every 6 mins are accounted for in some sort of coding/job sort of way. It is just so organised, I love it!! And one of the partners asked me to reword a blurb about the company in around 40 words. She said there are going to be plenty of instances where she is going to require me to help with the marketing side of things. I love marketing so I am pumped up to the max.

Bonus of being at work?? Eating in a way more structured manner!! Had breakfast and then a pear for morning tea. Was back home for lunch today, but in future will have lunch at work and tea/dinner will already be organised for the evening. Just not all that much time to eat. And, will have to have a strategy in place for that danger zone of 5pm - 6.30pm. This has always been my HUNGRY time and I usually randomly stuff food items into my cake hole without even blinking. So, I need to have some sort of chewing gum/muesli bar/carrot stick sort of strategy so that I don't max out on the points at this time of day. Maybe a scroggin style mix with seeds, nuts and raisins.

Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments on my new blog theme. I love love love it and appreciate the comments. It took a bit of time to incorporate my things into it (eg tagboard, site meter etc) but was worth it. I am feeling so great about this side of my life at the moment. Just have to work on the man side of things now. We seem to be miscommunicating and have been for around 2 weeks. I feel like I talk but no one is listening and I think he feels that I go against everything that he says with regard to the kids. Feels like a neverending battle but we will get there. Leigh sent me a great email about this sort of thing and I may just post some of it here (have to ask her permission first).

I recall, many many weeks ago saying about the Oprah show that had all the healthy foods etc on it. I never did get around to posting those things so will try and get onto it this week, as it is pretty good info.

By the way, I did go and buy my veges and fruit as promised. Didn't go to the organic market I wanted to go to as I just couldn't be stuffed with town traffic. And with TOM being a visitor, I was doubley as strung up as usual, so went to another place instead. Spent $40 on fruit and veg and got: kumara, parsnips, carrots, tamarillos, pears, kiwifruit, oranges, avocados, bananas, tomatoes, spring onions, lettuce, potatoes, zucchini and some tomato and cheese sausages!! I know, the sausies aren't quite the healthy thing but it is barbie season afterall and they do have tomato in them!! And I made a fresh juice on Sunday morning. I used 4 grapefruit, an orange and 2 tangelos and got one cup of juice. It was tasty but all frothy. And it took bloody ages to clean the juicer machine. But definitely gave me a good citrus burst.

Love you guys for all the support. And Lynise, do get that journal up and running again, it is the best form of therapy I have ever found.
