Where to start? Things are Ok. Nothing special, except that I am so overwhelmed at work with new stuff! This isn't the type of job where they train you, and you take notes, then you do it yourself and all is well. I knew it was going to be hard and I was prepared to work as hard as I needed to get to this next level. Its not just accounts receivables and collection calls like I was used to, this. is. FINANCE! Hey they don't pay the big bucks for nothing.
Unfortunately for me, I am not sleeping very well, probably due to the stress and worry of the new job. I am so tired at work, that I am constantly yawning, and it does not look good! I have to say though, that everyone there is so nice. They are always saying that I shouldn't worry, that is was the same for them and that it will get better. They really are sweet! But like I mentioned before, they are worried that I will leave. Ha ... it ain't gonna happen! I'm sticking around till the day I retire. They will need a crowbar to pry me out!
In other news tonight, the BF, B, is kinda down cause his kids are all over the age of majority, and yet they function like they are 5 years old! And to make matters worse, they took away the coffee machines where he works, and his shift is 2 PM till 12:30 AM. Yes! that's right, he'll be working till after midnight without coffee, every night, starting tonight! It will not be a pretty sight! I spoke to him a few minutes ago, and he is starting to lose it! Poor baby! I mean coffee! How could they?
My kids are still in Greece and I miss them so very much! Oh sure I call them, but its just not the same. Also, they are not able to upload any of their photos for me to see, because of some glitch, and I am so impatient to see what they have done and where they've been. I spoke to them this Sunday, (big son's 19th birthday ... Happy B. Day Ax!) and they said they had gone to this great restaurant whose tables are on little gazebos over the water. Each group has its own little hut. And keeping with the theme, they actually ate fish! Be still my heart! I shouldn't be surprised, as they grill the fish on charcoal, sprinkle it with oregano and squeeze fresh lemon on top. With home made fries, its divine. I dare anyone to ruin it with ketchup! I just have to hang on for two more weeks and then they will be back!
I will do my best to get to bed early tonight. I really want to do well at work, and I have to be and look alert .... the yawning has GOT to stop!!!
Now everybody go out there and see Mama Mia and Traveling Pants 2, cause they are both filmed in Greece and then come back and tell me if you liked it. The best essay gets to stay with me in Greece next year!! Just kidding! Maybe not!
Have a great day!

Good luck with the new job! I know it must be stressful, but give it a few months. You'll get there.
Thanks Diane, that's what I keep telling myself.
I can't wait for the day that I will find myself knowing exactly what to do when someone asks me for information. In the meantime, the paycheque helps ease the stress a bit.
