Saturday Already!

I know, I know, about time right!? My, so impatient! Well read appeased, because I have lots of time right now.

I have been here for a week now, and I'm feeling a little like a full sponge. I've soaked things up to my absorption capacity, but I'm still in a bucket full of water! It's nice to have a little time to decompress and get all my thoughts organized.

Work went really well these past three days. I stayed busy, which helped a lot. I've decided, though, that I am just not cut for the 9-5 thing. If I'm busy then I'm good for about 6 hours. Eight, though, is just too much to be in an office. Honestly, I would love to spend all day at home, playing with the girls and getting stuff done. They aren't even my family, but I still can't come up with a single reason why spending twice as much time at work is better than spending it with them. I wouldn't mind an unconventional 8 hour job, doing something I loved, but not spending it in an office. I think that is why I am so excited to work with Denise starting this company. I've always loved entrepreneurial type of stuff, I've just never had a good enough idea to build off of. This is great because I like the implementation and mechanics behind it more anyway. It's right up my ally!

Like I said, the office has kept me busy though the past few days; lots of training in how everything works and overviews of individuals' jobs. On Tuesday and Wednesday I went with two of the girls to visit two of our factories to discuss business. Okay, they did the discussing and I sat and thought about how I wish I knew Chinese. It was interesting to see though, and they took us out to eat both times. That was an experience within itself though, so the food will have it's own post!

Let's see, what else... The other night the girls Drama/Art teacher, Sylvie, joined us for dinner. She's 24 and from Australia. She's a lot of fun! Denise, her, and I are planning a trip for just the three of us to go to Shanghai and spend a night there. Actually, they are always coming up with stuff they should take me to do and to see. It's so nice! So much different than in Europe where our Madame wouldn't even give us a 20 min ride to the city to catch our flight during the strikes. I feel more at home here after a week than I did after 3 months in France. It's wonderful!

Aside from that I've just been spending time with the girls. We had a girls night last night, all piled on my bed surfin' the net! Then we moved it downstairs for a movie! They're all at a friends birthday swimming party right now (hence my time to blog) but we'll do something this afternoon. Alrighty, gonna take a little break before making another post. Stay tuned!
