Kind Of What I Expected

So it's here. Tomorrow, as they say, is the first day of the rest of my life. My first 'real' job starts at 9am sharp.

No more school as a crutch to fall back on. No more waffling over what I want to do 'when I grow up'... because, apparently, I'm all grown up now.

Only this isn't quite what I'd expected being all grown up to feel like. I guess it never feels like that though. College. Mission. Marriage. Sex. Kids. Preconceived notions continually blown to smithereens.

I suppose if it were otherwise, life would be pretty dull.

So instead of bored, I sit here anxious. Hoping for the best. But not really knowing just what to expect from the next few days, weeks, and months...

Which, ironically, is kind of what I'd expect the night before my first day of 'real' work to feel like.

Go figure.

Good luck shmuck :) We all have to grow up sometime, I guess. You'll do great, I'm sure.

You're missed at home already, babe. Hopefully this is all motivation to keep your workdays productive and "short" (for a lawyer that is). Liebe!!

You kind of made me feel old reading that, how did I grow up faster than you?

Marc said...

Smooth - Wouldn't bet on it.

King Family - Thanks Blonde Mama

Somm - Up until now I've refused to believe it... but apparently it's true. And if it has to be done, I guess now is as good a time as any. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

Melbo - Awww! My wifers LOVES me!

Maui - I guess you could attribute it to a lot of things... but having two kids before I even had one is a good place to start.
