Working, again

So, I'm now working again. *sigh* Being a housewife was fun while it lasted.
The building I work in is deceptively huge. And the parking situation sucks. So, I had to park in the back and walk what seemed like a quarter of a mile around to get to the main entrance (just for this morning, luckily we have our badges which will allow us in through any door) and then during the class they gave us a "tour" of the inside (which was at least another half mile) and then I made the mistake of going out the wrong exit, so I wound up walking another quarter of a mile at least to my car.
Now, I'm not the fittest person in the world, plus you may recall, I fell last week. So, I'm in a bit of pain. And I'm sure it'll be worse tomorrow.
Today was the usual, introductions, benefits, tour, etc. Dull as anything. I have to seem really interested and enthusiastic since my husband works there too and he's one of their best reps. A lot to live up to, and that just adds to the stress I'm feeling.
Damn, why can't I win the lottery or something? I hate working.

*sighs*
After all the lay-offs at work, parking isn't much of a problem, but for awhile, it was awful. The building my company is in owns the ground it sits on. You step off the deck, you're on Town property - or someone else's. The town lets us use two of their lots, and working the early shift that I do, I never have to park far away. When we were at full staff, some people were parking in the lot a half a mile away. Nasty in winter and a real bitch for those who are incapable of getting there early.
Hopefully, you will come to love your job! {hugs}
