First day on the job

Today was REALLY long. I got up at 5:30 so that I could be at the Occupational Health Center at the hospital when they opened. I called on Friday and I thought they said they opened at 7:00 a.m. I told my *new* boss that I would get my drug test and be at work by 8:00. Well, Occupational Health doesn’t open until 8:00 and with us sharing a car, it became a major chore to get us both to work.

Nico picked me up at 5:00 p.m. after a long hot day in the factory. They’re showing me the ropes by having me work in the different departments for my first couple of days. If you know me, you know that I have NEVER done manual labor before. Sufficed to say, I am exhausted. When Nico picked me up it was pretty clear that we both had rough days.

The doggies were so happy to see us when we got home. They were in full-on freak out since no one had been home with them all day. I will admit, I seriously missed my “cuddle time” this morning.

Well, I gotta go. We just finished cooking and eating dinner and now we’re going to sit on our butts for a while. Hopefully, I post more about the new job tomorrow.

Sorry to hear you saw a brown recluse. EECK! We had them when we moved here and we were fortunate that there is an expert in Lawrence. He travels around the country because most pest companies don't really know how to deal with the recluse since they need unique intervention strategies. And he is also a "green" person. His website is http://www.brownreclusesolutions.com/ Good luck on the job. the Divine D
