Honestly, change is unnerving. I have never been
afraid of change or resistant to change however there are times when it is nice
to have not too many of them happen at the same time! As humans, if we
don’t adapt to change we honestly don’t have a chance because change is
constant and our survival apparently depends on adapting! The
new job? I am plugging along finding my way. I am having a
difficult time with the sarcasm/sense of humor thing here as it appears that
most people in the new office take themselves and their jobs so seriously that
even cracking a smile indicates weakness. I will keep smiling at
them. I will either break them down or they will continue to ignore the
crazy person who smiles at everyone! I am certain there is a Sense of Humor
filter at the elevators because there doesn’t seem to be much of that around
either. Or, I just have not found it yet! (Maybe there is a secret
club of happy people hiding out somewhere…… Geeze, I would even take
sarcastically grumpy!)
On a more positive note I am getting a lot more exercise at
this new job. The coffee is now way farther away and so is the ladies
washroom. A lot more steps being logged on the ole Fitbit! (Which
coincidently is being offset by the many options I now have to purchase
lunch. So yes to exercise, no to french fries!) I am also learning
a lot and this makes the neurons happy. I believe I have dropped into a
place where I will continue to be challenged and this helps me get out of bed
in the morning and come to work!
I sense more changes on the horizon with friends and family
so I am going to take one change at a time and roll with the punches.
Like they say….. “Fake it till ya make it! “

(Quote brought to you mostly by my friend Amy who happens to
be a very important lawyer who manages to be lawyerly AND have a wicked sense
of humor so I know it can be done! Even though Michelle would not
let her get the quote in tattoo form to pledge her allegiance to “faking it”! Oh, Amy.... stop laughing...... some of us think you are a very important lawyer. Heck, you passed the Bar and got a job!)
