Corner Turned

I don’t know how it happened but I turned the attitude corner today. It started with seeing my name on a parking spot. For the first time ever I have a place to put my car. As stupid as that sounds I am so thrilled! I was actually a little disappointed I didn’t have a camera today. My own spot. Imagine that! I’m taking a picture tomorrow! Yes, it’s the little things that make me happy these days.
Then came the news that not only was my new office going to be painted but I get to pick the colors and, and, and it’ll happen this week…as in within the next day or two! For colors I picked Walden Woods and Frozen Sea. Figure that one out.  Talk about too cool! I didn’t think this would happen for at least a month and I was so prepared to live in limbo between this place and that one. As I told a coworker this is what I worked my azz off for. This is what it’s all about. I know I’ve been bitching about this very thing, but sooner or later it comes down to one question, “do you love your job?” My answer is yes. Now, I do.
To make the day even sweeter someone from admissions came over to discuss tours. For years these guides have been bugging me with their false info. They would blah blah blah right by my reference desk and  for years I couldn’t help but cringe. They had no idea what they were talking about. For years I’ve been trying to get them to change their speech without luck. After all, I was a nobody in their eyes. Suddenly, after three years of torture I’m finally being asked what should be said. My script?
The cherry on top of my day: A new contract for me to sign. Something in writing to prove I’ve finally arrived. Now I can say I’m a professional.
So, A – I look forward to going to Mexico with you. RT~ see you in Picadilly. To the both of you, I know exactly what I want!
