Love the New Job

The first stressful, tiring week at my new job is over. Actually, it isn't very stressful in itself. I merely get stressed over the possibility of being late to work. As I said before, it is a temporary job doing legal research for Bloomberg (the company, not the mayor). I thought I could best talk about the new job as a pros and cons list:

PROS:
  • It is in Midtown with lots of awesome little places to get food and stores like Barnes and Noble in easy walking distance.
  • My first day I walked to the U.N. during lunch. I love that I can do that. I walked to Bryant Park another day.
  • Every morning I get to walk through the main terminal of Grand Central Station and look up at that ceiling.
  • I also get to walk through the MetLife Building which is less impressive but still pretty cool.
  • Working all day makes the diet much easier.
  • Everyone I work with is really nice and fun to be around. I spend a lot of the day laughing and enjoying myself.
  • On Friday they gave us free pastries and coffee.
  • My desk has a view and I can see the East River.
CONS:
  • The work itself can get a bit dull and repetitive.
  • I have to get up at 6 in the morning. Luckily, Brian gets up with me and makes me coffee. He's the best.
  • Heels always hurt my feet. My feet are thoroughly scarred.
Well, as you can see, the pros outweigh the cons by far. It was a good week and I look forward to next week!

It's great that you like your job so much!! I'm on the search for comfy heels, too, so I'll let you know if I find anything. It would best if Target stocked pretty, professional black heels with arch support and padding and rubber no-slip bottoms and heel points that couldn't get stuck in any sidewalk cracks. And if there was a coupon for such heels on the Internet. Until then... ;)
