one week down

one week down.....i officially have one week of the new job under my belt! this past week has gone by so fast! i think part of it has to do with the fact that it has slightly turned me into an old person because i am getting up so early and going to bed so much earlier. i have been averaging getting to work an hour to 45 minutes earlier than i did at my old job and staying until just about as late....the upside is right now it is 2:30pm on Friday and i am already home!!! that's right....getting done at noon on fridays makes it all worth it! :)

so far i have really enjoyed the new job. it's funny because if you told me three years ago this is what i would be doing with my life there is no way i would have believed you. i just happened to fall, i love when people say that because i totally don't believe it yet i say it too. i am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and God has a plan for my life so i don't think that 'i just happened to fall into' the career path that i am on....but i digress....

so anyways...i am really enjoying the new job and that it is more financially planning as opposed to just investments and transactional activities as the old job was. i like putting together reports with all the little pieces of a persons life and creating this plan for their future. i enjoy doing things like that....i'm a planner by nature what can i say!

speaking of planning....i recently have really gotten into using the google calendar. this time of year gets really busy and crazy and i have a tendency sometimes to forget what all i have going on so i just decided to put it all on the google calendar. if you haven't tried it you should because it is pretty great. i don't know everything that it can do but it seems as good as outlook at work so it is nice to have that for social use. anyways enough nerdy calendar talk.

all in all i am really enjoying the new job and i am excited for the challenges that lie ahead in it!
