6 Months & Counting

Yesterday marked my 6-month anniversary at MNN, which signals the end of my probationary period, and the activation of all my benefits. Since I didn't get fired, I figure they consider me useful on some level. And from what I understand, there will be an evaluation and possible pay raise, which will be most useful to me.

Going to work everyday doesn't seem as strange as it once did, which I believe means that I'm over that initial adjustment period. Being a work-a-day person isn't nearly as constricting as I thought it'd be (having money is actually quite freeing, to say the least).

The people I've met at MNN have helped make my transition quite smooth as well. Although I'm cool with everyone, I've gotten particularly close to some, especially Stefanie. Even though she's quite a few years my junior, we've managed to become pretty good buds, which is pretty cool.

In addition to my milestone at work, I'll also be celebrating my birthday next week. I'm so thankful for how things have been going that I have nothing whatsoever to complain about. I guess they're right about things becoming clearer in your 40's. You just don't care what other people think so much anymore, which, I believe, is how it always should be.
