Life please stop with your lessons

Sitting at work, doing paper work and working on the computer. All the sudden darkness. I mean complete and total darkness. I couldn't see five inches in front of my face darkness. We had a power outage at work the other night and we were supposed to have a generator that kicks on, but it malfunctioned somehow. This left us in the dark (and cold) for 45 minutes. It was scary and frustrating, especially because no one could tell me what to do to fix it.

I swear, I'm constantly being tested as a supervisor. The good thing is, that I handle it well. I know how to direct people and take care of things in an emergency. Hopefully other people see that as well.

I'm enjoying my new job. I'm not used to the full time hours yet, but it's nice to have something to do (especially now that I'm graduated.) I officially graduated this past Saturday. I was really excited about that. It was a surreal moment walking across that stage. It was the one and only time I got to meet/see the president of Minnesota State University-Mankato. (Now that's saying something.) I also got to go to Red Lobster. My mom took the family out for dinner to celebrate. It was awesomely delicious.

Everyone at my job is asking me when I'm quitting there to start my career. I keep telling them that I'm not quitting there and that I'm sticking around for awhile. No one believes me either when I tell them that. I guess after I stay for awhile they'll stop asking me. With the economy the way it is, I'll take what I can get and I love this job, so I'll stick with it until I don't love it anymore.
