New Mom Bulletin Board

So, I started this new job a few months ago. So far, it's fantastic! The hours are long and I don't get as much sleep as I used to, but I get to do things the way I want to and I really enjoy the work. I gained a lot of weight while taking the prerequisite course required in order to get this job. But I'm sure the nature of my work will help solve that problem. I have no coworkers but I am beginning to network with other professionals in the industry. There aren't any training seminars available and I haven't read the New Employee Handbook yet, but I'm sure I'll get some information in the next newsletter. I wonder when I can expect that to come... Upper management is helpful sometimes, but she's been working in the corporate office for about 25 years now. (She may need a refresher course, just between us.)

I haven't received my first paycheck yet. I really hope it comes soon. Come to think of it... I never really negotiated a salary. Hmmm... I wonder how soon I'll get my first raise. According to http://mom.salary.com the local annual salary low for my field is $123,248.00. Wow! That would be great! Maybe I should check the mail again. My paycheck should come anyday now.

These are the most beautiful men in my life. Today, Elias is four months old. I can't believe I'm a mother. It still feels surreal.
