so i survived my first day of work in manhattan...the commute wasn't too bad, thanks to my great location on the upper west side and short walk to the subway...i made my transfer at times square to end up in grand central, just a few steps away from the office...
everytime i'm in grand central station, i'm amazed...there are so many people walking in all different directions, and god forbid you try to stand there and figure out which way you're supposed to be going or else you'll get mowed over...i just think of all the movies that have been filmed there, and even then, you see the mass of people going to and fro in the background...it's just unreal...and then of course you go by all the little shops and bakeries that are setup..and the smells are divine...i am going to be so tempted to stop there every once in awhile on my way in to the office...
my desk was all set up and ready for me when i got here...and i mean organized, to the T...along with a welcome card and flowers...it was such a welcoming sight...it helps that i've been to the office before so things looked familiar...and the best part is that i was able to sit down and get right to it...no 'learning the ropes' or shadowing someone...
i'm SO grateful to work for a company that's letting me branch out and try a new way of life...i really have the ideal situation and i am going to take full advantage of it...
when i got home from work yesterday, i was overwhelmed with thoughts of all the things i could be doing...i'm excited for the weekend when i'll have time to go out and explore...i'm thinking central park if the weather is nice...and hopefully some good food...the possibilities are endless! :)
Have some pizza for me!!! :-) ~Amanda
