The Start of Something New

Source: google.co.il

I finally started my job! AHHHH! I was stressed, nervous, anxious, excited...everything. And guess what? I still am. Let's now add overwhelmed to the pot. But, I will persevere and power through this! My boss said I'm doing well and already ahead of where she'd thought I'd be. I just started Monday, which is why you haven't heard from me in awhile. Boy, was I overwhelmed. I had many stressful moments over the week, but somehow, I got through it. I think I'm going to like this job.

I had a realization at work that this is now my life..I get up, get ready, go to work, work, and drive home. It's such a weird feeling that I'm finally working again. There's a lot to learn, but I think I can do it. I just need to get into a good schedule/routine. I need to figure out when I work out, when I clean, when we need to do laundry, etc. I know this will all come in time, but I wish it could hapen sooner rather than later.

For this job, I'm going to travel which is cool. I know it will be hard, but I think I can do it! :D

How do you feel when you start a new job?

How long does it take you to feel comfortable?
Do you get realizations and freak outs at work too? 

Time to Move On...

    So, I've been forgetting to mention something...Tyler and I are moving soon. No more Army for us, at least, for now anyway. Moving is always stressful, but this move, well, I really don't know how I feel about it. On the one hand, I'm super excited to go back to California and be with friends and Tyler's family, but on the other hand, I know I'm going to miss Germany and the new friends I made here. Plus, I don't even get to see my family or some friends I still have in Texas :(. I feel like there is still more I could do here in Germany, but alas, my time is coming to an end. I'm also scared, well, maybe nervous is more accurate, about finding a job and going back to work.
    Now, along with deciding what things I can live without for about 3 months (that's how long it can take for them to ship our stuff to us ahhh!), I'm looking for jobs, and an apartment. Looking for an apartment is fun, but sucks because I can't go look at any yet. I absolutely hate looking for jobs. There are so many I feel I could do/am qualified for, but according to the requirements, I supposedly am not qualified for the job, sigh. Anybody have any good sites I should look for jobs on? I am using a lot, but I am always open to suggestions.
    Speaking of job hunting, I always thought I was pretty good at interviews, but, 2 or 3 years ago, I was told after one interview I did for my school I wasn't. What?! No one else had ever told me that. And trust me, if I didn't get a job that I really wanted I inquired why and what I could do better next time. Ah well, maybe it was a fluke thing, or maybe I need to prepare more. I do know one thing I struggle with is what questions to ask. Anybody have any suggestions on questions to ask and/or interview tips for me?
     Anyway, I'm excited and yet very scared for this new chapter in our lives. But, ya know what? I bet it's going to be a good one. :)
