So, I started my new job today working in my friend’s dental practice.  I had a good day.  I think I am going to be really happy.  It’s a great working environment, and everyone seems to work well together.

I ended my day with a splitting headache :(.  I think it was part dehydration and part low blood sugar.  Tomorrow I’m going to take in my big bottle of water as well as my snacks.  

This work experience is different than my previous jobs.  I’m working with/for a friend so the dynamic for me is different than other jobs.  I want my friend’s practice to be successful, and I want to contribute to the success.  That’s not to say that I wanted previous jobs to be unsuccessful, but I feel more invested in this place.  

Something is different in me as well.  I am more peaceful than I’ve been in a long time.  I really feel like I am where I belong.  It’s great to work with someone who already knows your strengths and weaknesses and whose strengths and weaknesses you know.  (Someday I may complain about that…so hold me accountable…lol)
