Yesterday marked a week of my beginning my new job. My basic identifying characteristic here is my voice, as that is all most people I deal with will ever hear. "Herregan, this is Kate" are the words I say about four hundred times a day. Even after only being here 5 days idetify them by vioce. Some people are easier than other. Like Mark. He calls here like 12 times an hour. But others actually get offened that I don't know who they are. Hello!! I just started last week!!! People (customers, I will at least make that distinction) expect me to be able to do things that are not only things I haven't yet learned, but also things that aren't ever going to be in my job description. Ah, the joys of work!
In all honesty, so far I really am enjoying most aspects of what I'm doing - or shall I say learning to do. It's been an interesting week. My training has gotten off to a rather slow start as the other two women who work here have had personal circumstances that have required them to be out of the office. It's good to know that there is some level of understand that "life happens" at this particular place of employment.
If you were reading carefully, you did note that I inserted the word most in the above paragraph as a modifier to the phrase "aspects of what I'm doing." As with any job, some of it I don't like. Specifics are really not necessary. It's a job, what more need I say. You all know well what I mean. And if you don't, that likely means you've never worked.
So that's it folks. I'm in the working world. Full-time. I'm one of ya'll now. No more nanny days. I kinda of miss them, but really, I'm looking forward to the opportunities that God has given me at Herregan and to whatever oppotunities He might be preparing me for in the future.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
