Perks To My Work

Ok, I am changing around the way I update,  and trying new things, so just bear with me here as I experiment.

And now, for some perks I get for working where I work:

1. 20 minute commute VIA PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

2. $1.75 daily cost to commute to work (vs $10 per day where I used to work)

3. I can add Eric onto my EXCELLENT health insurance. Even though we are not married. And HIS company will pay us hundreds of dollars a month to join my plan. F YES PEOPLE!

4. I can get glasses! FOR FREE! I am so so so excited about buying glasses you do not even know. I learned my lesson with contacts - I do not like them.

5. My bus driver is pretty nice. And that's a perk because it sets the tone for my whole day.

6. People keep buying me lunch. No, seriously.

7. I get home so quickly I can make dinner instead of just buying something every day like we used to (a habit that was broken when I lost my job and became so poor we couldn't afford that anymore.)

8. My first paycheck? It will be for almost a month's worth of work. I WILL BE BUYING GLASSES VERY VERY SOON. And when I say buy glasses I mean I will be getting them for free or for a nominal co-pay and then getting my prescription and going online and buying multiple pairs for much cheaper than in the stores.

9. I have an Office Depot's worth of supplies in my office. If you love supplies as much as I love supplies, then you would love my office. Ever drawer is stuffed with post-it notes and pens and legal pads and calculators. It's like heaven in drawer-form for me!

10. For the first time in almost a DECADE - I have dental insurance.

11. I can get prescriptions for almost free for the first time in almost a decade - and you know what that means, right? XANAX XANAX XANAX! Ok, not really. Ironically, now that I am employed, my stress level has gone WAAAAAAY down.

12. I know the government's database system now. Excuse me while I go learn Arabic so I can go spy on people and work for the CIA. Ok, that's not really my goal, but knowing this system means I can transfer to other government agencies more easily.

So far, that's about it. Well, that's about it without giving away too much. All-in-all, I can say I am very happy. It felt like my life was a spinning top for the last 6 months and God reached His hand down and stopped it and said "Ok Enna, that's enough, I'll face you in this direction now." And I have to say, I am really liking the direction I am facing.

PS Sorry this wasn't that funny. I am exhausted and trying to get acclimated to a new schedule.
