Well, it's the end of the day after my first day at work and I'm exhausted. It was non-stop information overload. But, and this shows how great my new bosses are, I was told, in no uncertain terms, that I'm not expected to know and learn everything in one day. Being the people pleaser I am, I want so bad to do everything right and impress them....... Right off the bat with little instruction. I know that's an unreasonable expectation on my part, but it's in my DNA. It's what I do.

As I have said before, I'm really not that familiar with the area, but it seems nice. I, of course, got there early, so my commute was less than 25 minutes this morning and it was about 35-40 minutes going home, which is better than I thought it would be. Each way, to keep it easy, I took Wilshire straight to San Vicente.  

It's so weird, my goal was always to get a job on the west side, but I never dreamed I would be working where I finally ended up. I count myself so fortunate that my reputation and work ethic was so well known that I was recommended for this job so out of the blue. The application and interview process was long and arduous, to say the least, but it was my reputation and people recommending me that got me in the door.  As far as I know, this job was not advertised, so I'm flattered.

The best part of the day was when I was told "I am so happy you are here". That made me feel so good! So, as of day 1, I'm happy!

I guess I'm in what they call the honeymoon phase. :-)
