A Good Kind of Change

My New Job

It is now Monday morning. The first day at my new job. Three weeks have now gone by and it's time for real life to kick in.

It's so weird not having Alyssa here with me. My best friend is gone back to NC to start her new job too. The rest of the days flew by and Colin and I were still going good I guess.

I wake up at 8:15 to get ready. I'm so excited but so nervous. I grab my phone and walk to my closet. What to wear...

I pick out a typical white button up, black pencil skirt and black heels. It's just the beginning of September so it's still kind of warm. I take a shower and straighten my hair. I walk back to my closet and get dressed. I put on some red lipstick and my heels.

It's now 9:15 and I still have a little more time. I go back to my closet and take selfies. I think I look pretty good and I take a picture of myself in the mirror and send it to Colin.

"Good morning Colin! How do I look?" I get a reply in like thirty seconds.

"Good morning to you too. You look beautiful." Colin is too sweet.

"Thank you! :) Are you at workouts?"

"Yeah we're on break right now. It feels like I haven't seen you in forever and I just saw you a couple of days ago."

"Come over later if you're not tired."

"Okay princess. I gotta go but I'll text you later. Have a good day at work! <3"

"I will and have fun at practice Kap."

"Lol! I will Carolina :)"

Colin makes me so happy. I look at the clock and realize I should get going. I slip on my heels and grab my stuff and head to work.

Mr. Carlson is waiting for me when I get to my floor.

"Good morning Miss Chandler! Happy first day of work!" he says with too much enthusiasm.

"Good morning Mr. Carlson! It's good to be here."

"That's great. I'll show you to your office and then we can talk about some things."

I follow him to my new office and it's nice. It's a basic office with a desk and two chairs in front and a big black leather chair and I have a huge ass desktop Mac computer. I'm definitely living right. And there is the great view of the city too. I love it already. I put my purse on my desk and sit in my chair. I'm hella comfortable and Mr. Carlson sits in a chair in front of my desk.

"So Shanya, I wanted to go over a couple of quick things. Okay, dress code. I know you're only twenty two and you still have fashion sense. I know I won't have a problem with you, but I still have to tell you. We don't really have a strict dress code here. You can wear whatever you want basically just keep it appropriate. Jeans are definitely allowed but if they have holes in them make sure they're below the finger tips, umm, leggings are allowed also, we're pretty laid back so it doesn't really matter what you wear."

"Yay! This job just keeps getting better." I say happily.

"I'm glad! You will have a blast here! Okay so as you know you will be interviewing at the 49ers and the Giants home games as of now just to see how you start off. As you know you'll start interviewing the Giants next season being baseball is almost over and as for football season, you will start next week because that is the 49ers first regular season game. I know it's right around the corner but I know you can do it."

Next week? Am I really ready for this. Holy hell...

"You alright Shanya?" Mr. Carlson asks worriedly.
