My First Day

Did you ever start a job and feel totally overwhelmed at the end of your first day? Totally, right? Like every person ever, right? Today was my first day back in funeral service after SIX years of being just a mum (well...like 2 years of being just a mum...4 years of being just a couch potato. Thank you band!). And yep...I feel overwhelmed! BUT...I also feel like I'm going to love it there. The atmosphere is very warm, and very easy going, and although right now I feel like I'm just in the way, in a few days, I know...I'm going to own it. Everyone was very welcoming, and I think I probably made the right decision in taking this job. Time will tell. I feel like once I learn the computer stuff, it's all really just me sitting down with a family, having a relationship with them, and helping them the best I can. That stuff I can totally do. Best part? At the end of the day, I don't feel physically exhausted. I know I can do the physical stuff. I know I can lift and carry and stand and run if I need to! And THAT is a great feeling! Today was a good day.

    I'm so glad you are digging the new job...get it? Digging, you do funeral stuff. Body goes in the gorund? Yes, I realize you are not a grave digger. And yes, if I have to explain the joke, it's lame to begin with. I suck...but you are awesome!

    We're there no dead bodies? Is it all done by computer now?

    I'm just being macabre because if I died, I'd want you to help my family through it because you are just that kind of person. And I am sure you would make sure they wouldn't party too much (or maybe make them party). Will be down the June 23-24-25 so hope we can get together for a quickie. Drink that is.

    Yay, go Gilly, go! And I'm with Sandy - you can bury me too (when you establish the UK branch of Gilly's Funeralcare), if hubby won't stump up the cash to have me cryogenically frozen.
