Surprising myself

When I started this thing, I told myself I'd update it probably once a week. I don't tend to be very good at keeping up with things like forums and blogs. Those things that need me to check it every day- my attention span is just too short. And here I am. One week in, and one week of posts. Surprising to me, at least. I'm proud of myself for this small thing. And its those small things, I think you need to be proud about.

I'm proud that I've not called out from work sick, when I wasn't sick- despite my wanting to do so on a number of occasions. I'm proud that I've paid my rent for two and a half months and not been late. I'm proud that despite having only like 10 dollars in my bank account, I'll be able to live for the next week without too much issue. And I think I'm most proud of just getting up in the morning and smiling and being happy that a new day is coming- and that I'll approach it with a happy grin.

And again I surprise myself when I get there, and I'm nice to people who sometimes I dislike. Tomorrow, a new person will be starting as a driver. A woman- and I'm not sure exactly what to think about all that. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me. But my manager isn't sure he wants to work with a woman in our particular line of work- I could understand that. Personally, I don't think we do enough business to really hire another driver. We only have one truck, and five drivers now. How does that work, financially?
