In a small handful of days, I will have completed my first three months with UH.
What a relief . . . breath of fresh air this job has been compared to my last. People here LIKE me. It's a good fit for me. I have a large amount of room to grow and have boundless options on what direction I can take my career. If I want to. 
I keep coming back to the appreciation though. It's SO NICE to be appreciated for what I do. My last job was a constant "no thats wrong, no you're not working fast enough, your not organize enough . . . do this better" . . . . though she once told me (once) that I was one of the quickest and best workers she had. She really never quite hit that home to me though.
We were a bad fit my last boss and I. She was only a few months older. One of 'those types' that I avoided like the plague when I was younger. She was probably the 'stuck up snob' HS. The social one . . the perfect one. . . the one that looks down on others for not being perfect. That's not me. I'm intelligent and passionate . . . but I'm a constant little disaster. I say that in a good way. I'm always a teensy bit behind . . . and I procrastinate. But I throw every ounce of who I am into what I do. I'm happy and upbeat and I find every opportunity to have joy in my life. She, on the other hand . . . was the "don't talk to me till after 10 am" type. She found EVERY opportunity to pick apart my work and tell me exactly what I was doing wrong.
My job now . . they all KNOW that I know what I'm doing, and that I'm doing my best to learn all the new things presented to me. And I'm very glad to say that I'm happy where I am. Something I haven't been able to say in quite a while.
I'm also accomplishing things in my life, and making changes for myself that will forever impact the person that I am. It's a long road, and will take quite a lot of work. But it's so worth it . . . and it'll make me a brand new me.
I look forward to meeting that woman in the near future.
