Thankful Thursday: 12/2/21

I don’t know if anybody else has made this a thing. I also don’t know if anybody else will do this with me. If not, it’s completely fine. It’s something I want to do every week. I’m going to think of at least one thing I’m thankful for for the week. I’ll try to do up to four a week, but at least one. I think this will be very therapeutic. We shall see in time.

Note: There may be some things that get repeated now and then. My intention is to talk about things I’m thankful for that week. So some things may pop up a few times. I’m not attempting to be redundant or repetitive. Just trying to be genuine.

Making new friends. I’ve been training for my new job for a couple of weeks. I’ve managed to pick up two friends from there. It’s pretty amazing. I hit it off with one of them almost instantly. We actually have worked at a few of the same companies before as well. Not at the same time. Still.
My new job. I was so hesitant about this job. I have not had great experience with training and management in the past year. It’s been a rough year work wise. This job has been so amazing. I haven’t even gotten out of training yet! I am understanding the content. For the most part. What I haven’t understood has been explained later. The trainer has been very patient with us all. I hope that I stick with this job for awhile.
Sarcasm and humor. I find that these are the best methods of breaking tension. It also helps break the ice when you’re nervous around new people. Well outside of work of course. I’m thankful that I have a decent sense of humor.
The Holidays. I’m not saying this to be generic and not offend anybody. There are multiple Holidays around this time of year. Rather than take twenty minutes to say them all, it does happen to be easier to say Happy Holidays. But I digress. I’m thankful that we live in a world that everybody is able to get to celebrate how they want. I am thankful that I have the opportunity to learn about them all.

What are some things you’re thankful for?
