Barack O' Lantern

TA DA!!! My annual pumpkin, fashioned to reflect my current political enthusiasm. GOBAMA! I got this stencil at www.yeswecarve.com. Brilliant! I cannot wait for next week. I just pray to God that there isn't another voting debacle like Florida in 2000! :-/

The new job is going great and I'm settled in my new awesome cubicle. Since they were building my cubicle from scratch, I got to work with the maintenance guy to set it up just the way I wanted and it's PERFECT!!! I have 2 windows and LOTS of room. I ordered new office supplies last week and I had fun finding a place for everything; filing away papers I brought with me from my last position, figuring out where I will stash my all-important 100 calorie packs (this is important stuff here people!), etc. I just set up some wedding photos on the wall and it's already starting to feel like home. My co-workers/boss are so super nice. It's really exactly what I was looking for in a work situation. I am amazed how much better my situation is from just 2 weeks ago. My last position wasn't bad, by any means, but this new position fits what I was looking for SO much more. I am now working with people face-to-face on a daily basis, instead of sitting at a cubicle alone waiting for my boss to come back from his latest world tour. I am a social person and I really need that one-on-one interaction. I like working in teams and this is just the right sized team too -- just the 4 of us. Big enough to feel substantial, but small enough to be cozy. *SIGH* I can feel the UV rays coming through my windows. God bless natural light! :-)
