Days 9 & 10 of My Connecticut Adventure

Day 9 of My Connecticut Adventure
I’m a few days behind on my blog posts, because my weekend was awesome (and I didn’t even have to wear the AWESOME panties to make it so).

Monday, a day back to training…. I’m feeling really good about my decision. I’m learning so much, and just putting up with the fact that my fellow students are choosing not to socialize with me. I’m actually pretty ok with it, because it keeps me out of trouble. Since I can no longer drink anyone under the table, I won’t be tempted to try it any way.

I was still eating left over’s from this weekend… I’m sure the company is going to be happy to see I don’t use my whole meal allotment.

Day 10 of my Connecticut Adventure.

So, I’ll get caught up and put two days in here, I guess.

Training itself is going really well.

My fridge in my room is freezing my food L

In my lunch today I found a fruit fly. L

I didn’t want to put it out there… but I’m annoyed today. The people in my class aren’t so nice. Day one I introduced myself to a couple of them, and they couldn’t have been less interested in who I was or what I had to say… Here we are at the second week of training… EVERYONE (there are a whole 9 of us) goes out to dinner together. I haven’t been invited or asked… tonight took the cake though… I went to pick up my dinner in the lounge. Three of them were having dinner at the bar. The only one who spoke to me was the one other woman in the class… the other two guys completely ignored me. Now me, I would have suggested that the individual sit with us…. I don’t know what it is. I don’t think I’ve come across as holier than thou…maybe I have… frankly, my first impression of them wasn’t great… and they haven’t given me anything to make me think anything better of them.

For those who know me, know that I’m pretty darn social. I party with anyone… as long as you keep your hands to yourself (and then if I know you well enough & know you are being silly I will pretty much accept that too).

This COULD be the universe’s way of telling me that I need to maintain a professional personality when I am around people I work with. I haven’t always been the best one for this. Some of my best partying friends were also co-workers… and I have been known to let my freak flag fly. Oh well… I guess this is where I make the choice to separate personal and professional life completely and utterly… I’m so grateful for the wonderful people I’ve met through my previous jobs, those who take me for who I am. Many of them let their freak flags fly high with mine!

On the upside my dinner (which I ate alone) was really good.

I’m going to curl up with a good book (my aunty gave me a bag full).
