1 down hopefully many more to come

So I know that I did not post again like I said I was going to but life has a way of getting in the way of my artistic intents. Well I don't if I would call my writing artistic but hey I think it is funny and that is all that is important...Right?

I started my new job today!!!

I think this is the beginning of a new era for Marcus. I may have finally found that job here that will allow me to actually get past that 3 months stage for reasons other than the fact that it is convenient (unlike the last one).

My first day just happened to fall on Boss' Day! I got a present! I think that is the first time that I have gotten a present at a job other than the obligatory birthday card or graduation present. Add to that the fact that the lady, Harolyn, that works the front and handles angency relations bought me lunch. Little did she know that the fast way to my heart is through my stomach. We ok maybe all she had to do was look at me and know that I like to eat but still!

Most of the staffers seem really cool and eager to see some changes. There is one that could be problematic but after speaking with him today, I really think that he will work hard for me.

I think I could really get comfortable here. Who knows what will come of it...Next thing you know I might even be putting little End Hunger or Make Poverty history banners on my blog. ;-)

Updates...

So life has been fairly hectic and well just down right busy for me lately.

I start my new job on Monday with the Bay Area Food Bank as the Branch Manager for the Pace branch. I am really excited about this opportunity as well as maybe also a little scared. This is something new for me. I will be in a completely new environment and learning new stuff. So there will be a learning curve for me.

One huge thing is going to be that I start work over in Pace at like 7:30 a.m.!!! That is hella early! We all know how friendly I am in the mornings. ;-)

A huge group of my friends went out with me on Wednesday night to celebrate my new job and lets just say we did a lot of celebrating. Hey I am allowed from time to time!

Wow I can not even comprehend the fact that it is the middle of October already. Time is zooming past me. I am getting old...my nephew turns three in a couple of weeks and I can hardly get the picture of him as a new born out of my mind. People are graduating that should still be in diapers and I have my first Professional PR job.

Man things change so rapidly!

I will post again hopefully later today on some funny things.

Change is interesting...

First off let me say that my office is finally back in working condition. All the lights are on, classes are being held, and the smell has diminished. That said I have been mulling a lot of things in life over lately. Some of them I have made decisions about others not so much. Some of these things I have talked with you guys about others I have discussed with no one.

The more I think I have my life together the more it reminds me that I am not in control. The more I think that I know people the more I realize that I barely even know myself.

Life for me is in a constant state of flux. One day I would categorize myself one way and then next week I have a completely different view of the person in the mirror. I constantly wonder if this is the way my friends and family see me or if this is just my delusional self again.

I have also decided that I am not going to disclose so much about myself to people. Some people have continued to love me no matter the things they find out about me...for instance that I really like Scifi or that sometimes yes I do in fact have a complete conversation with myself...these are just some of the small things but you get the point, others not so much. In fact just recently a friend and I had a conversation about my views on the world and since that time we have not spoken to each other more than to say hello and goodbye during a class. But I guess if conversations are going to change the nature of a friendship I guess it was not really that meaningful of a friendship to begin with.

I think I have finally decided that I am in fact going to Grad school. I will either enroll in a Program here at UWF or commute to Mobile and enroll in the program at the University of South Alabama. I plan on finding a job in the field ASAP and working there while pursuing the masters degree. As long as I am in a college town and I can work on it why not do it. In my field it can only help me plus when I am ready to teach I am that much closer to my PHD.

I miss my family and old friends something awful. You guys could call me once in a while to check on me. I have tried to get in touch with a few of you and have not heard back.

It is amazing how much a person can change in one week! I know how different I am just from the weekend. If everyone else changes at the rate I do...WOW! No wonder the pharmaceutical business is so lucrative.
