♪♫ The Phoenix - Fall Out Boy
The past week has been both lovely and extremely stressful. I'll start with some good news: I got my beginner's license! I actually got it before my last blog, but I forgot to mention it. I also signed up for driving classes/lessons which start in September. In the meantime, my boyfriend is going to give me some lessons to help me get used to the basics again. That way I am at least a little bit prepared for the classes/lessons. Wish me luck!
Another exciting thing: I got my planner stickers in the mail! They turned out super cute and I will definitely be making my own stickers again (yes - I designed them!). I'll post a picture below of what they look like. Oh and I also made a few purchases recently! The most exciting one is a little Hedgehog Cactus that I bought at a local market. I have always wanted a cactus and I finally decided to buy one! I've named her Freckles and I love her already! I also purchased a knock off pop socket (which I've wanted for a while & I found one with a trippy sun on it!) and a Ginny Weasley paperclip for my planner (it was less than $1.50 on Ebay - including shipping).
Today I'm picking up my passport (so beyond excited!), mailing out a few orders (my Twin Peaks inspired rings on Etsy), and going to work. Should be a decent day! However, work yesterday was the extremely stressful part of my week. One of my coworkers kinda made me feel stupid after I made a few minor mistakes (I'm new - its bound to happen). I felt awkward and uncomfortable for a lot of my shift and it was awful. I think its important to be supportive, patient and understanding with coworkers to create a positive team dynamic... but that isn't how it went. I felt like I was on my own and that is not a good feeling in the field that I work in. Hopefully things get better!
I'm going to get ready for my day now. I hope everyone is doing well!
Update on July 30th @ 9am: I got my passport a few days ago!

I have never gotten a passport before. Someday! Congrats on getting started with your driver's license! When I got mine I never had classes, my father was my 'teacher' then I just took a test. Boom! Kind of scary if you think about it. LOL That planner and stickers are VERY adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, congrats on your license and good luck with the classes! Those are some really cute planner and stickers you did such a good job, a lot of my friends are into planners. That is such a cute cactus! Hooray for the passport! It seemed like forever when I was waiting for mine after I applied for it. Your co-workers don't sound that nice, like a work environment should be positive and helpful, and they should learn how to be that. I hope that things get better for you also!
