I survived the first week of my new job! Yay! The company was sold on my first day, so it got off to an interesting start. I also got my company car- a Jeep Commander! It's huge and has just about every option known to man- navigation, satellite radio, leather, camera...and a Hemi! So not only is it big, it's fast. It is black with tinted windows and has more chrome than I have ever seen in my life- it looks like it came from a rap video...I feel like a bad-ass pimp when I drive it! It's great! The one bad thing is this tank gets about ten miles per gallon...but then again, I'm not paying for gas, so I don't care!
Everyone I work with is nice, but on average about ten or fifteen years older than me. I feel very young. I met some of the other district managers today, and I am the only one under the age of thirty and one of the few women. It is a very strange situation for me. I am used to being one of the younger ones, but I am by far and away the baby! Many of these men are my dad's age! It does make me feel almost like a spy or something- I have successfully infiltrated the Old Boys' Club of the automotive world! This week I have my first business trip- a few days of golf and the 2008 Chrysler, Jeep, and Dodge line-up in Laguna Beach!
On another note, I am finding Orange County to be a very weird place. It is very suburban and mostly families live here. Anyone my age is married with a baby carriage and everyone female over the age of eighteen has HUGE breast implants! I am afraid that some of them will burst or poke the wearer in the eye! They are kinda disgusting because they don't really move- they just sit there no matter what the rest of the body is doing.
Yesterday I went to the market after the gym. I was gross and sweaty in my workout clothes, with no make-up and my hair pulled back. And this kid came up to me and asked me what I was doing for prom! He thought I was in high school! I told him I was a little to old to be going to prom. It's nice to know I still look young!
