A New Adventure

Well today started a new adventure in my life.  I started a new job this morning.  I am now working in the death industry....YES, you read that right death industry!  I was asked if I wanted a job last week.  I said, "Well I don't know if its so much wanting a job, but needing a job."  So I chose to start a new job. 

I am looking forward to this new adventure.  I am trying to stay positive and upbeat about this new experience.  However, I am a little worried about keeping up with my schooling and marathon training, since both tend to take a lot of time as well.  The onl thing I hate is learning new procedures with a new company.  In the beginning I always feel very overwhelmed, but from what I have been told it will come much easier shortly because it is just repetition. 

My first experience with working with someone who had a family member die was when I answered the phone and a lady speaking a foreign language began yelling at me about the body being stolen from the hospital....OKAY?!  When I finally got to speak I told her I was new and didn't know what she was talking about, but I would do my best to find an answer for her.  I just needed some time to get some information before I could give her further details.  WOW!!! Really?  I was NOT expecting that.  I found out the information and she was a little happier person when the phone call ended.

So as you can see, this will totally be a new adventure for me.  So be prepared to hear a few posts here and there about a day in the life of working in the death industry...
