Today has been a trying one, to say the least. On top of everything else that didn’t go quite right, I managed to lose my keys. I NEVER lose my keys. I can’t even concentrate now. it’s like leaving home without your cell phone, or without a belt. Once I put my keys in my pocket, I never see or think about them again until I get home and pull them out to unlock the doors, but knowing now that they’re NOT in my pocket is like…. Im out here with no safety net lol. no bottle opener, no compass, no shopper’s club key tags… and every time I hear somebody in this office jiggle their keys, I look up as if they had found mine and were wondering whose they are lol. I literally cannot focus right now.
This is some bullshit.
**Update**
Apparently I left them home on the counter where I keep them. HUGE weight lifted off my chest but now I'm confused as to how I managed to do that. Whatever. Crisis averted.
I'll be drinking before my coat comes off.... smh

Trusting the Process
Started my new job a week ago today and all I can say is "Thank God, I made it!" For the first 3 days, I literally thought my boss was insane. By Friday morning, I was convinced of it LOL. I mean, the things this man was tasking me to do not even a week into it just seemed... unreasonable, and having just a few hours to complete most of them was even more crazy. Granted, I rose to the challenge, but I did so thinking the whole time that it was too much to expect of somebody brand new to the game and I wondered if I had gotten myself in over my head. Just when I thought I might have made a huge mistake, it all became clear.
It happened after I blundered my way through a spot presentation of all the things I had picked up during the week. I felt unprepared, nervous, inadequate... but I did what I was asked, fielding trip-up questions along the way and just wanting so badly for it to be over. The feedback was tremendous. My boss apologized that I was, at times, visibly overwhelmed but appreciated the fact that I stuck with it. He was fully aware that what he was asking of me was a lot but he was looking for me to do exactly what I did; push through it and show up like a vet. After all, if I could do and learn all those things, sometimes with just a couple hours notice, what I could do and learn when given time and resources would make me a real asset.
I was really proud of myself when I left the office on Friday. I'm looking forward to a successful journey. But the experience also reminded me of how God works - you might have no understanding why your steps are being ordered in a particular way, but there is always a method to the madness and when you get where you're going, you'll understand. You just have to trust the process. #message
