A Day Out of Normal

Well, it was still normal, but it broke my daily routine of working, walking home, driving to work, working, driving home. Yesterday I went to a New Hire Training workshop.

Let me tell YOU, it feels nice to be a grown-up. Even in the time I took off between colleges, I still didn't feel quite as grown-up as now. Yesterday, I learned all about benefits, something I did not get to experience in previous jobs.

I get medical. I get dental. I get vision, even though I can't see ever using it (I don't wear any kind of corrective lenses. Maybe I should go have some sort of eye injury? Or maybe just an irritation). I even get life insurance. And a retirement plan, although that's not as exciting because I don't plan on retiring from here so I won't get full use out of it.

No more fears of falling down some stairs and having to pay for any repairs to myself!
