As the post title implies, today was my first day on the job at B&B! Although, the guy who’s supposed to be training me is out of the office closing on a house and they didn’t really know what to do with me in lieu of that fact. But I think I’m really gonna like it here.

I sat in on a flu meeting today that covered both the seasonal flu and the swine flu and how they’re trending (B&B is in the over-the-counter drug industry). HOLY SHIT – it’s really scary.

I awoke yesterday morning only to find a late-night text from Mario:
I miss you already. : (
Ugh! Why does he have to do that?

I’m definitely going to stop drinking after tonight (I’m finishing off the two mix-six packs that I bought yesterday: mostly local microbrews that I’ve never heard of before – I had to give ‘em a try!). When I got dressed this morning, I couldn’t fit into a pair of dress pants that I’ve never had a problem fitting into, which knocks out half of my “temporary” clothes to tide me over until I find an apartment because all of my other pants are from the same store in the same size, just in different colors. Beast told me that it’s probably from all the beer I’ve been drinking. Well, my wardrobe is reason enough to take some time off the sauce! Besides, of my two favorite coworkers (so far, that is), one of them is pregnant and the other one has a six-month-old baby, so neither of them drink…

So, as I referred to above, until I find an apartment, I am residing in the Best Western – which from-here-on-out will be referred to as the B-Dub. Oh my god, when I worked out in the hotel exercise room this afternoon (this was my first time; I just checked in yesterday), they had absolutely no air-conditioning on! I had to turn it on myself when I came in, which really didn’t do anything on my behalf because even at full blast it would probably take longer to cool the room than the 30 minutes that I spent on the treadmill. AND there was no door on the hinges of the entry to the exercise room (which was so conveniently located directly in front of the air-conditioning unit across the room)…and everyone in the hall seemed to make an effort to stare at me as they walked by. It made me really uncomfortable, especially since I was sweating more intensely than usual due to the lack of AC.
