mail order bride I let my body do what it needed to do. Without planning it, I fell asleep shortly before noon and then woke late in the afternoon. For a moment I thought that I might have slept all the way through Saturday into Sunday, which is a common fear of mine. Work has been going really well for me this past week. The days or most accurately speaking the nights have gone by very fast. I'm not stuck in the when will the weekend get here kind of mode that I loathe so much. Each night I've have something to keep me busy and I keep learning new things from the more experienced day crew. Quite simply all of this feels good even though I could never have guessed three years ago that this is where I would be now. Every once in a while I wish that I could start over at twenty-three and fix the following three years of my life. Those three years were a big waste of time and not overly happy ones either. I had money problems, car problems and a job that I really didn't like. Naturally none of these things did much for my self-esteem, but I managed and came out of it a better person. Now with six years worth of hindsight, I can not believe how incredibly naive I was about things in the business world. Of course spending five years inside the sheltered environment of college didn't really help either. The college campus is so far removed from reality at times and far more nurturing than the rest of the world. It may have taken me three years in the field to get here, but this is close to what I wanted when I first made my decision to start over when I was at the insurance company. It was there that I got better at using the system to work to my advantage. They were the ones who paid for my classes instead of me. Without realizing it they gave me the chance to escape the job that I had at the time and I know that I came out much further ahead than the company did in our deal. Within a year after I left, the company was dismantled and I made more money than they had been paying me. I couldn't have left at a better time to embark on my new career path. People often say that if you like your job then the rest of your life is easy. So since I seem to have met that requirement, I guess I should start to focus on my social life once more. As sad as it sounds it would be nice to have a girlfriend for the holidays. The conversation at work last night was a complete contrast to the topic of the other morning. Instead of talking about lost rings and forgotten anniversaries, we were talking about a web site that listed foreign women looking for husbands. The person that showed the site to me thought it was a great idea. I found it to be suspicious and I still don't know how much he was just pulling my leg. The really strange part is that there must be others that feel the same way as he does if some company formed solely for this purpose.
