It's been one week...

I completed my first week of work and am feeling a wide array of emotions. I'm thankful for this job, however I'm questioning whether or not it's the RIGHT position for me. It seems to be much more junior than I am use to. Also, my co-workers don't seem to be interested in training me or getting to know me. In fact, they seem more irritated by my arrival. I'm trying to remain positive as this is only week one. I really hope this job gets more challenging and the people start opening up. Here's to hoping and wishing...

Rich Kids

I really can't complain about my upbringing. I had an easy childhood. My parents made sure they provided us with shelter, food, clothing and then some (as my parents always say "your smile is worth thousands of dollars). University came and I didn't have to struggle to make ends meet or take day jobs to pay my tuition. I truly was a lucky kid! Of course, there are other kids who are RIDICULOUSLY LUCKY (i.e. their parents buy them a house, cars, etc...). These kids typically have no sense of reality. They go through life thinking that things matter most and don't know how to overcome heartache and struggle all by themselves. Though I am not a big fan of this demographic, I find myself a tad bit jealous. I'd love to have enough money to travel, buy a house and continue my education. Hell, I'd even love some extra money to invest in bonds or mutual funds. Of course, I would hate to be dependent on my parents for the rest of my life (cause after all it's the parent's money). It's very important for kids to make goals and attain them on their own.

So, thank you, Mom and Dad. You are a great support system and I appreciate all the time, money and tears you put into me. I promise I won't let you down!! Oh and if you'd like to buy me a house, I won't blink ;)
