Feeling Really Happy

While there is a part of me that is always going to be a bit sad and I might not get over Rose, but I think I'm finally getting to a good place with supportive people.  I also have been achieving goals that I didn't think possible.  I just wanted to share some of the good things that have been happening.

I met a nice guy yesterday for the first time.  I don't know if I'm attracted to him,but it's nice to have a friend that likes the same things that I do.  We might go used book shopping in Bethel next time we meet up.  He paid for a nice dinner for me and we then went for a walk.  He's a bit older than me and is going through a nasty divorce, but those things happen.  I think it's just nice to meet someone new.  Maybe he and I will meet up again.

I also got my review today.  It was good for the most part.  I just need to be better at keeping calm during problem solving, which is something that I realized and I'm working on it.  I'm not the best employee in the world, but this job is willing to accommodate me and is helping me to succeed. They do want me to take on more responsibility, which is great.  They said that I am the rock in my pharmacy and know that if I'm working things will run smoothly.  I don't know everything and I learn every day, which probably why I really enjoy my job. 

I did apply for a field trainer position, but I haven't heard anything yet.  If I don't get it, I'm glad that I tried anyway and can continue on the journey of becoming a lead technician.  While my company got ranked among the 12 worst companies to work for (the article mentioned nothing about working for evil bank), I have more benefits than I knew about.  I now have the option to buy stock, which is something I'm looking into.  It's investing in a safer way because the stock price is on the intranet every day and I'm in a fitness challenge, which if I complete it I get $40 in my account to use on whatever I want.  That is some incentive.

I'm also working on drawing.  I just completed two today.  I'm not very good, but I enjoy them.  I'm much better at floral photography, which is what I do in the spring.  For drawing, I mostly draw sea animals like sharks and other fish.  It's very relaxing to just create something.  I'm including one of my flowers and a drawing.

Overall, I'm doing well.  I just wish I got to see my friends more because I am lonely a lot of the time.  That is the one area of my life that needs a bit more attention.
