Day One
My first day of in-room classes is tomorrow! Have I mentioned the classes I’m taking this spring? I got a little over-excited to graduate in May, so I’ve got a pretty full load. I’m taking two online classes, Marketing and Supervision/Leadership, and two classes that meet in-person, Managerial Accounting and Microeconomics. The nutso thing? I don’t even need the Micro class to graduate, but I like the teacher and it’ll transfer so I signed up. Of course, when I did that I did not know for certain that I’d be training for a new job at the same time…
My brain is either going to love me for challenging it so much in such a short period of time, or it’ll spontaneously combust.
I know summer seems a long way off today, but it’ll be here before I know it and the slower pace will be quite welcome. I foresee strolls along the river bank and juicy peaches! *grin*
The Big News
Now that my family and coworkers all know, I guess I can mention that I will start training for a new job in January! Way back in early November I decided to go for a long shot job, at least, I thought it was a long shot. It seems that my colleagues have a bizarre amount of faith in me and they actually hired me! Let’s hope that faith isn’t misguided, heh.
Why am I so shocked by the whole ordeal? Because I’m going to be working in Human Resources. Yep, that’s right, this introverted thinker is going to have to work on her people skills. The strategizing, planning, and implementing aspects of the job sound ridiculously fun though.
It’s a good thing I don’t have kids, or my life would really start to resemble that of Sally Forth.
Morning Person
It’s 7am on a Saturday morning and I’m awake. I’ve been up for a while now, which would be pretty normal if I had to work today. But, it’s my day off. I often attempt to sleep in, however getting too much sleep can make me tired all day.
The problem with being up so early is that it’s hard to be productive without making much noise. My husband will sleep until about 7min before he must leave for work, which limits the activities I can do in the bedroom until roughly 10am.
Slightly different topic – I’ve been more annoyed than usual at the sound of buzzing electrical white noise. I think that once everyone is awake it will be a music or movie filled day in order to drown out the refridgerator compressor.
Maybe I’ll pile on some warm clothes and go for a walk. It’d do me good to get away from all these devices for a bit.
Made it!
And with this post, NaBloPoMo draws to a close. I managed to stick with it, but I think the quality of the posts shows that I wasn’t really that enthusiastic most days. Oh well.
My dad had the day off so he drove up to visit for a few hours. It was nice to see him, and we finally went to The Machine Shed in Lake Elmo. That was a drive from our apartment, but it was worth it because we walked in to see a big round table of old pals chattering away, just like my uncles and their fishing buddies do at the Rockford, IL location they frequent.
Here’s hoping December has just the right amount of intrigue.

I Asked My Husband What I Should Blog About…
Green beans.
What is there to say about green beans?
They are green, and they grow on bushes or poles. They are the main ingredient in a delicious holiday casserole, though as a child I did not appreciate it one bit. That was the dish I avoided, and I usually got away with it as long as there was another vegetable option on my plate. (I favored creamed corn, and still do.) The kind of green beans I most enjoy are the garlicky sauteed variety that come from Chinese restaurants.
These look pretty good though…
