Apr 05, 2010

Wow, life sure takes over, huh?  The past 6 months have been stressful at my old job.  Yes, my OLD job.  Unfortunately, the housing bust has taken its toll on the company I worked for these past six years and they are on the verge of bankruptcy.  But in every dark cloud there is a silver lining.  I just started a new job last week thanks to good friends and neighbors who tipped me off about an opening.  I am blessed to have a job but I had to take a significant pay cut.  Trade off is I have less responsibilities for now.  It is a new position as yet not thoroughly defined; basically a floater position.  So far I'm catching on to their intricately detailed order processing system.  And I get to re-learn it all again in about 2 months as they are transitioning to a new accounting software program called Navision (Microsoft).  Yay.  There are now 4 of us neighbors from the same street who work there and we're jokingly called the "Knots Landing" group.  Fortunately I'm considered one of the 'good' characters from that old 80's dramatic series....lol.  Overall it's a great company and again I feel blessed to have stayed employed.  Got one kid in college and a 2nd who will enter in a year from now.  I'm sure many can relate; Momma can't be unemployed.  Anyway, not much to report except weight loss has slowed to a crawl.  I'm down 83-86 lbs.  Weight seems to be bouncing a little now.  I'm sure if I would step up the exercise the evil scale would move down again.  I'm so close to One-derland now I can almost taste it....lol.  But despite the slow weight lossI do still seem to be losing inches.  All in the top half down to my waist.  That durned lower half is destined to be forever out of proportion with the rest of me.  Sigh.  It's been hard to make myself exercise.  I've let stress make me feel sorry for myself.  Parting from the old job & friends was very hard emotionally.  We were a great group and I miss them.  I know the new group of co-workers are good people too, it's just hard to make transitions the older you get.  At least for me it is.  Well, all the time I have for now.  Gotta scott off to that new job.
