I have a new job!

No, not really.  I do however have a new position at my current job.  I swore that I would find a new job all together...but when I was offered the position by my boss I didn't hesitate to accept it.  It's a Monday to Friday position, with hours that work MUCH better for me (I won't have to wake up at 4:30am)...and the job itself is a bit more challenging which makes me happy.

Today was "officially" my first day with my new position.  I was actually awake BEFORE my alarm, and felt completely rested.  I had my breakfast instead of skipping it in favor of a few more minutes of zzz's.  I actually put makeup on.  Things were going really well this A.M. 

Since I had a few extra minutes I decide to stop to get some coffee...and that was the start of my bad luck.  The place I stopped at doesn't seem to understand the concept of "fast" in the morning...which put me behind schedule...then I hit school traffic that I did not anticipate. 

I dealt with the holdups without any issues.  Hey, I got my coffee so I'm happy.  Then...not three minutes from work I went around a bend and well, my cup of coffee (which I WAS securing) decided to go flying...all over my leather seats.  Considering I was now running late, I had no time to deal with the mess.

So now my Volvo smells like coffee-granted, I do like the smell of coffee.  Just not in my car.

Sounds like Monday smacked you upside the head, too. I didn't used to differentiate between any workday (it was all Hell), but lately...
Congrats on the new position!!! I'd love to tell you what I do, but I'm afraid Big Brother might find out & it could affect my "career." Let's just say it's people-centric, and I <b>do not</b> do people well.

Let us know how the new job is! Perhaps you wisely got all your bad luck and hiccups out of the way before you arrived.

Ahh that Monday feeling, hey? ;) You're right, though, coffee is a good smell.

Autumn, I used to like (or at least tolerate) Mondays as it was the end of my work week...now I guess I'll go back to dreading them again.

The Gal, I will be sure to keep everyone updated.

Tammy, thanks...and I'm sure they'll be okay.

Ys, yes, but not exactly as a car scent.
