#np - Be Careful What You Ask For by Everclear
For the last few months, all I've wanted is to be done with school and have a job. I chronicled some of my job search here and you know it was stressful. Grad school was stressful, too. I just kept dreaming of the time when I'd have a stable paycheck and a regular, professional job. Well, be careful what you ask for. I've been back to being a real adult for one week now. After almost two years off, the transition has been difficult. For the most part, my job is 8am to 5pm. They're flexible on when I get in (which can be bad since I'm used to hitting the snooze button) but it's obviously more structured than I've been used to lately. When my mom was in town she helped me reorient my body clock. That mostly meant making me do stuff starting at 9am so I had to wake up early and go to bed early. I failed though because I didn't go to bed early so I just ended up sleep-deprived during my move and I ended up sleeping a lot this past Saturday and Sunday. Now I feel like a walking zombie. I'm doing anything I can to keep from napping in the evenings (but I'm failing at that too). So this transition has been difficult. My job is great so far. I'm learning a lot and I look forward to really diving into everything. But right now, I'm just tired.
