In the last 2 days, I’ve:
- Worked 19 hours.
- Eaten 2 free (gourmet) lunches. Thank you, Hotel Employees Get Free Lunch Rule.
- Made 20-something sales calls.
- Proofread & edited a wine pairing guide.
- Asked half a billion questions, give or take.
- Done my hair… two days in a row.
- Put together a social media plan of action attack.
- Worn cute shoes… two days in a row.
- (It’s amazing what pretty hair + cute shoes can do for your work morale.)
- Began to build relationships with some truly amazing people.
- Felt more excited about my job than I ever thought was possible.
I know, I’m still in the honeymoon stage. I’m sure the long hours and working weekends will catch up to me eventually. But so far, I am loving every minute of my new job. Thanks for all the sweet comments on my last post, and thanks for letting me gush over my new job a little more. Hopefully we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled (read: not scheduled at all) LfT programming soon! <3

Woohoo! Good for you – for loving your new job and being adventurous and busy and awesome. And you’re right – it’s amazing what doing your hair and wearing cute shoes does to morale. (I should probably give that a shot, haha.)
