Fave Quote

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." 

- Margaret D. Nadauld

I have always been competitive and ambitious and have had a "get it done" attitude. However, I feel like a lot of times those good qualities become my bad qualities. Sometimes in getting the task done, I forget that people are people, and I focus so much on being the best, that I lose sight of others and lifting them up. 

Here's to self awareness and wanting to be a better woman. There are enough men in the world to do what I do. 

I'm In Love!

With my job.

I had my first day at Adobe today and I LOVE it already. Everyone was sooo nice. There is an on site gym with showers, 4 break rooms with free snacks and drinks, a "music room" where you can play piano or guitar on the instruments provided, an XBox 360 where people can be found playing rock band and Halo during breaks, and a few pool and Foosball tables.

Also, I can already tell that my co-workers and I will be two peas in a pod. When I logged in to my work computer, my desktop background had been set to a Justin Bieber desktop. hahahaha. That co worker is now called Biebs by me. On the whiteboard in my office my co workers wrote me nice/funny welcome notes. The girl in the office next to me is super nice and friendly and around my age.

All of the conference rooms are named after Adam Sandler movies, including but not limited to waterboy and 50 first dates. The IT people are down in the basement, and above the door, etched in glass it says "not the basement". They prefer to call it the "Garden Landing" (sounds way better than a basement right?) People have their offices decorated super fun and I can't wait to decorate mine!

In other news, Adobe is ranked #41 on the top 100 companies to work for for 2012, and I can definitely see why.

I love my job.
