work's good

so far, i'm really loving my new job. i know i'm only three days into it, and am still in training, but from what i've seen, this is going to be cake. and i'm getting paid well. everyone's very nice i'm not even tired at the end of the day. it's awesome.
having said that, i'd like you guys to know that i've applied for a new job. i know, i know, why would i do that when i have a perfectly good job already? well, of course, it's the commute. i spent 11.5 hours today out of the house, and i didn't do anything not work-related. that's too long. that means the dog had to hold it for 11.5 hours. can you hold it for 11.5 hours? i can't. i go to the bathroom every hour. more, if i can get away with it.
plus, this job is for a company i've always wanted to work for (sorry, i won't mention which company) and it's really close by. i sent my resume last night, and they haven't emailed me yet. i really hope i get the job. the only thing that would suck is that it would pretty much damn us to a life in the suburbs, since both our jobs would be in hillsboro. but let's face it...i was never going to be able to afford city life anyway. at least i live in one of the best metropolises in the nation. and i don't have to drive. (unless i'm taking the dog somewhere). actually, i am allowed to bring him on the MAX. i just have to find out what the real rule is. the posted rule is that the dog has to be in a crate, and max is too big to carry like that. but people bring their unleashed, not muzzled, intact, even bully breed dogs on the train all the time and no one seems to mind. the driver told one person to shut up their barking dog or get off once.
anyway, back to the hopeful job...this company is super relaxed. i could be myself completely and they don't even have any sort of dress code. you can wear jeans and t-shirts every day if you want. i would LOVE that. it's what i've been looking for in a job for years. ever since i've been looking for jobs. peaches was awesome because of that. so i hope i get this job. and if i don't, i've still got a great job (so far) to go to.
